Negative people always lose
Question: http://www.safehaven.com/article-8929.htm
Well first of all we wanted to clearly illustrate that negativity is really bad in all aspects. In the long run shorting never pays neither does being negative or bad mouthing someone for no reason. Now if someone has done something wrong you can and should point it out as they need to be corrected but simply bad mouthing someone as result of jealousy or fear always leads to pain in the long run. Thus maintaining a positive attitude is what counts the most. One could have used every single pull back together with simple trend analysis and or mass psychology to buy top stocks for pennies on the dollar without shorting the markets at all and still made a huge fortune; if you had the courage to do perform both you locked in even larger gains. Remember that the majority never win and that negative people always lose; they have a bad attitude because they fail to learn from their mistakes and they are angry at the world for not giving them what they think they justly deserve. Sadly they are getting what they deserve which is absolutely nothing. It’s for this reason we have always maintained that one should seek to keep ones stress levels as low as possible. If you feel your stress levels are rising due to trading or anything else then take some time out by going to a place where there are no computers and very few newspaper and just take a few good old classical books and read. Note you should cut anyone out of your life that increases you stress especially so called loved ones such as family and your significant or insignificant other. No one has the right to increase your stress as the long term consequences are simply horrendous. The markets will always be here but your health well once you lose it you can never ever truly get it back. Remember we at TI view every single disaster as nothing but opportunity knocking in the disguise of a lamb in wolves clothing; if you look closely the teeth are not really that sharp and the fur is rather soft.
The other factor is that due to the huge number of global players continuously entering these markets, corrections though severe in nature are not lasting as long as they used too. Every single major correction or crash as it has been labelled by the press has been nothing but a lovely long term buying opportunity and will continue to be so in the foreseeable future. The problem with most is that they forget that after a certain time one does not simply rush out and buy after the first big pull back. One waits for the fear to build and when it reaches a frenzied level then one starts to buy with the intention of buying more should prices drop further. Timing the exact bottom or top is an exercise in futility and is best left to mentally challenged individuals.
Based on the above moves we would not be surprised to see the Dow trading in the 27,000-30,000 ranges in a decade or so. After a major move it’s all but a given that the markets will mount some sort of correction and on the level you bought in, it could either be a correction or a crash.
Answer: Thanks for posting this, Don. Yep, it is usually “time in the market” that is more important than timing the market. I’m stickin’ to Ken Fisher’s advice that the only worth-while time to try to time the market is when it is going to be down alot for an extended period of time. Of course it doesn’t hurt to try to do some buying during corrections either if you can.
