1.) Markets are driven by CONFIDENCE over long term investments, but sadly it is also driven by HERD MENTALITY, as proven since the beginning of 19th century that led to the famous GREAT DRESSION Worldwide in the 1920s.
2) Intelligent INVESTORS would RESEARCH FAR MORE that what appears today, THRU a variety of INDEPENDENT Worldwide research agencies, such as renown Standards & Poor, WTO, etc, etc, before committing ANY of their hard earned life savings into ANY stock or currency, as well as more probable indicators such as employment/inflation rates within the country, and also to hold firm based upon REALITIES of what that company or Nation is doing to uplift the Nation, whereby minerals & critically Human resources are the prime leading front to productivity & profitability, for Return On Investments.
3) TALK is CHEAP to the serious investors, as they know how markets can be manipulated, the way a simple football match can be 'Kelong'. No mortal or even the rich would have to ability to purchase ALL stocks or currency within a Nation, BUT it ONLY needs just a few millions or should one have rich & powerful individuals, to simply
PUSH up the stocks/currency on
buy purchase orders to FOOL morons into believing a stock or currency will RISE forever......and then simply leave the naive fools with their precious life savings bankrupted, when the manipulators feel the rise of a stock or currency is sufficient to meet their needs with a
short sell order....
4) Thus the question begs - is one an ignorant sheep in financial issues, to be played out & bankrupted within the short term, or an intelligent savvy investor with precious LIFE SAVINGS to be enhanced thru making long term INFORMED choices?
