I've been out of touch from the stock market since people started calling the market a bear. Yet since last December, stocks have quietly gone up by an average of 20 or so percent. Hell hath no fury than a bear market rally.
As I read somewhere, timing is everything. It's that art that only a handful of people have learned. Or even understand. It's not just with the stock market that timing is key, in business, in life, in love life, or in loveless life. Timing is always crucial.
Nobody can predict the direction of the stock market. Neither do the pundits and know it alls who annually send out price targets.
Those who entered the market in 2007 are still busy counting their losses while those who're experienced in trading must be laughing all the way to the bank (provided the bank is not yet in default).
Ever since I got back to working, I've had little time to look at the market, much less to trade. So for those who are intent on learning how to trade, make sure that you have time on your hands. Otherwise, you'll just join the ranks of the weeping toms.
Ever since I started blogging, I never failed to write about trading, investing, et. al. I usually avoid endorsing or rumor-mongering a particular stock. I don't know if it appeals to readers, though I really couldn't care less.
In a bull market, everybody is a genius because anything you buy goes up anyways. It's in the bear market where the machomen are set apart from the sissies.
I'm neither though I still long for the bull market days.
Blog articles like these are what happens when people like me don't get to enjoy the upswings of the market.
So enough of that I guess, back to work work work! More on investments and less of my complaints in my next post.
