‘Happy Talk’ from Simon Maierhofer
From Yahoo I caught this tonight. An excerpt:
Deep down, every investor is an artist. Your portfolio tools are your paintbrushes and the next trading day or trading year is the blank canvas. Artists will tell you that the first few strokes are the toughest as they set the stage for the entire painting.
The same is true for investors. The New Year is often viewed as a clean slate. If you start the New Year off on the wrong foot, you are under pressure to catch up for the remainder of the year. A good start, however, will give you the freedom to express your investment ideas freely and provide much needed confidence.
None of that makes any sense. It is foolish writing and thinking. Why?
1. The start of the year is but just another date in time.
2. Every investor is not an artist, nor should they try to think like one.
3. If you under pressure to catch up (whatever that means exactly), you are already dead in the water.
4. That last sentence sounds as if the writer was impaired in some manner. Unreal idiocy.
