Eternal Optimism Meets Reality or Know When to Fold Them

by Bob Schwartz

Government Bailouts – Why a Modern-Day New Deal Won’t Work

The days of buy & hold in the stock mark are over! The vast majority of stock brokers and media financial types have always said not to panic, hold for the long term and stocks always bounce back. The problem is when –a real bust, you can end up with a huge percentage of your savings wiped-out. About the only think for certain in the long term, is that the person who gave you the buy and hold advice has retired and you have to keep working because you can't retire on your reduced savings.

  1. Consumer demand has dropped. Unemployment will rise. The US will go into a recession at best, a depression at worst. Expect first stagflation (high inflation and high unemployment), both because of the increased price of imports and deliberate pump priming by the Fed, then deflation, as asset prices collapse so hard they take everything else with them. The other likely scenario is stagflation followed by hyperinflation. Formal inflation numbers put out will become not just a joke amongst market-watchers, but amongst the actual population. Same thing with unemployment numbers.

  2. Peter Lynch has been quoted as saying the following:
    “You get recessions, you have stock market declines. If you don’t understand that’s going to happen, then you’re not ready, you won’t do well in the markets.”
    Peter understands this is reality. Do you? Just as there are ups and downs in the stock market, there are ups and downs in the real estate market. Welcome to reality!

    If we look at the economic trends along with Real Estate market trends, we can realize that what may seem like a “bad market” for some people is the same market that “big” Real Estate Investors have bought the properties that made them millions. However, there are many people that are getting ready to capitalize on some great investing due to the common sense theory of investing, BUY LOW…SELL HIGH!
