I consider myself a relatively experienced investor. I’ve been retired for well over 16 years without a pension and lived a very good life on my investment results. Our nest-egg has increased each year of our retirement in spite of robust spending. Oh, to be sure there were many mistakes made but mistakes are a learning experience for us all. Through these many years I’ve somewhat formulated a philosophy that lets me sleep at night while invested in the market. I have no agenda and nothing for sale as we begin this Journey. I’ve discovered that the US Stock Market most resembles a teenage Girl who has discovered she has a Zit; there is huge drama over “things” that mean little over the long haul. I faithfully read the Wall Street Journal and the Economist. When I watch CNBC I mute the sound as I’ve found that their commentators job is to attract viewers not inform them and Bad news attracts eyeballs to their station. Everything they say is coached as exciting news yet they are completely prohibited from really advising the investor class. CNBC is Stock Market noise.
I'm sure you're nearly spot-on... great little piece regarding one of the sharpest designs of the last century.
