Jonock's Blog : Some Clich are Worth Repeating

All arenas of endeavor are filled with their own unique set of clichs, and investing is no different .For instance Buy low and sell high is the investors equivalent of Break a leg in acting and when you listen to the talking heads on the business networks you hear these old clichs over and over again. This incessant bombardment of babble tends to numb one's mind to the occasional gem that is worth hearing.
In this period of uncertainty as, the world markets continue in a pattern of volatility, investors need to look back at history and review some of investings' old clichs. If for no other reason than to shore up their egos and reassure ourselves that, stocks will rise again and some undaunted investors such a s People and Picks members will lead the way. Whether we're at the beginning of a global recession or deep into one, it's likely that people investing in stocks over the next few months will retrospectively be the ones who realize the most profits. Rather than languish on the sidelines, wringing our hands over lost profits or unrealized gains, smart investors will prepare to reap a yield from current market conditions by mapping out which stocks will advance the most when the market completes a turnaround. One of the best ways for investors to profit from the turnaround is to discover the inevitable winners earlier than Wall Street does, this clich is well worth heeding. And since Wall Street typically buys in after a company moves out of its micro-cap phase, you've got an inherent advantage over even the best money managers on the street. What's even better is your knowledge that when Wall Street finally recognizes a company's performance, the rush to buy into that stock is often astonishing and you can take pleasure in knowing that stock was in your portfolio before they found it. This is what People and Picks is all about, finding emerging companies with the right fundamentals and situations that will allow us to use our experience and research to be on the leading edge of the market recovery.
Now for the disclaimer, just as the mutual funds always say past performance is no guarantee of future gains,....yada..yada.. My final clich . No recovery is ever the same, be cautious and diversify your portfolio.
