“It’s been a long time, shouldn’t have left you without a
dope beat to step too…” As you know I
have a love for music, especially hip-hop, so when I am thinking a song will
often pop into my head. Here, I am
thinking of how long it’s been since I’ve written something to the readers out
there. I admit work, life, and stuff
happens but I shouldn’t have left you without a nice article to think about.
I would like to start off by simply just being honest! One of the primary reasons I have not written
anything is that in REALITY there is not that much going on in the investment
world. Maybe I should say it different,
the markets have been steadily going UP and there hasn’t been much else. If you remember, there have been a few
moments in the last year or so where I wrote that the stock market indicators
lead me to believe that stocks and the overall market were headed higher for the
foreseeable future. If I were a TV
personality, I can say “We Predicted This Would Happen!” but the reality is it
took months and months of reading, researching, and keeping my eyes and ears open
to rationalize where things were logically headed. The goal while investing is to navigate
through ALL of the NOISE (family, friends, and TV people telling you how to
invest) and for you to logically conclude about where things like are
headed. Once you get a good idea about
that then you can determine what and how much to invest in. I am here to simply share my thoughts on how
I navigate through the noise so that I can share those with you and I can learn
from the past by coming back and reading my own writings. This is helpful in life, because you must
navigate through the noise (when choosing a house, car, job, etc.) and really
get down to making a sound decision.
Here I am always looking to make a sound investment and I’m
going to present 1 topic to assist you on your investment journey:
Easier Said Than Done…
