Hi my friends and readers,  

There have been a lot of bombshells during the first three quarters of 2014 and there are bound to be more coming during the last quarter of the year. By definition, nobody can fully prepare for a surprise, or else it won't be called a "surprise".

The stock market is tough and challenging. Challenging enough without bringing emotions into the equation. Unfortunately, humans are emotional, and as a result, investors often place too much reliance on their feelings rather than using objective to drive rational decision and intuitive awareness decision.

FEAR PROTECTS US, ABNORMAL FEAR PARALYSES US.

The above mentioned is a protective Shields that remind us never to be over- confidence in our lives. The same as - " Normal greed protects us, excessive greed paralyses us". Over time the threat of sharks eating up investors has dramatically declined, still the best is to know when not to get trapped by abnormal fear.

Greed. The euphoria of chasing gains / quick rich mentality,  without realizing it, excessive greed paralyses investor's yields on critical points of exit. Besides forcing a damaging decision, other serious consequences are it's ability to display the reality of gravity always win.

GET RICH QUICK INVESTING METHODS.  

What was the reaction about this? Anyone seems bitter? I believe most known about it, but perhaps people are not willing to change things even it was a step in the right direction. Perhaps peoples are not interested in doing anything to invest more effectively. Most LIKE get rich quick. They won't acknowledge if you ask them. But it's the reality. This is an emotional battle. We can't persuade people to give up their love affair with buy and hold by presenting them the evidence. 

EVIDENCE ONLY SPEAK TO INTELLECT.

Evidence is a great importance in intellectual battles. They are no intellectual case for buy and hold. The case for Buy -and- Hold is EMOTIONAL. The whole reality is getting rich quick mentality don't even need any secretcy to do it. The stock market con-man are destroying the lives of millions of people world wide. But they don't have to use force to do it. The evidence is everywhere, we don't need to lift a finger to point the case because the evidence is all around us.

THE MINDSET CORRUPTION IS WITHIN US.

This investing methodology is 100% corrupted today. And it's within us. Peoples loves the GET RICH QUICK . The stock market con-man exploit us because we WANT to be exploited. The stock market con-man doesn't need to push Get Rich Quick so hard because they know it is a hot idea. It is popular and EVERYONE wants it. After the next crash, I don't think peoples will be demanding it anymore. 

THE BUY AND HOLD OF GET RICH QUICK.

I like to call a Buy-and-Hold a Get Rich Quick scheme but one of the favorite claim is that the average person can retire in 5-10 years earlier. I do believe Buy- and- Hold is the Get Rich Quick method. I believe that the people that developed the Buy-and- Hold were excited about it because they believe it was real. And the people that followed this will be excited too, because they believe it is real. Know when it is over valued /over priced. It's the most hated information that most people don't want to hear. 

BUY FEAR AND SELL GREED.

A minority of people understand the reality, and realized that they are not smart enough to outwit the market. Successful investors focus on buy fear and sell greed. While this hated bull market remains fully in place, they will follow the wise man advice, and comfortably sit in the stock market - "Buffet" enjoying the superior long term return put on their plate. Crash dieter is welcome to join the buffet, but by the time they finally sit down at the stock market table, most have probably left to the rest room. 

LESSON LEARNED FROM MARKET STRATEGIST.

I certainly not trying to demonized market strategist because their thoughts are indeed very interesting and informative including those provocative financial topics. But put it in the wrong hands, their opinions can be very dangerous for the average investor trying to follow the ever changing of so called expert strategist. Unfortunately, many media and average investor have short memories and do not have time to hold these strategists accountable for their false predictions.

USE YOUR COMMON-SENSE 

Regardless of your views on the market, the next time you hear a financial strategist make a bold forecast, I urge you not to go running with your motivation to alter your portfolio. Treat it lightly when it comes to acting on financial market forecast and stick to listening to long term successful investors that have invested their own money through all types of market cycles.

EXPERIENCE WON'T MAKE ONE BETTER INVESTOR.

Experience alone will not make you a better investor. There are lots of rich and powerful  who is embarrassed to have made the mistake. They don't want the millions of middle class investors to learn about their mistakes. We messed up the precious fundamentals. We learned that short term timing doesn't work and we jump to the conclusion that the long term timing doesn't work either.

The stock market is efficient in the long run, but it can be terribly inefficient in the short-run, especially when the behavior of emotions of greed and fear takes over.

It will be best if you stick to the area of your expertise when you're actively investing in stocks. In stock investing, winning is never easy.  

Bye, plan and invest wisely. ~~

P/s: Don't underplay the Risk inherent in your money management stratergies. The lie will fall with the next price crash. And some will be sent to prison when it falls. The full impact of this UGLY LIE will be witnessed and experienced by millions of average medium class people. Hung in there my friend.
