COMPARISON...I like to compare today's stock market to GAMBLING!!! IT"S ALL ABOUT LUCK!!!
The reason for this is because no matter how fundamentally sound a company is, in today's market that company could very well go belly up.
There is no EXPERT Economist, Analyst, Banker, ETC... that can tell what the future will hold. Hell not even Warren Buffet, the world's richest man and one of the world's most successful investors KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. The economy is, for the most part, emotionally driven. When the masses feel good about their economic situation and their finances, they will start to invest and dump money back in to the stock market again. Until then, the masses will sit on the sidelines with all that $$$.
I go to the Casino on occasions, and as far as this stock market goes, I'm treating it exactly like GAMBLING. I've dumped a bunch of money on certain companies (MPV INCLUDED) that I feel will go the distance.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN THESE HARD ECONOMIC TIMES!!!
