As I was thinking about all that is going on, I cobbled together a summary of the market madness inspired by a list of Bruce Springsteen’s songs. I am even thinking of writing him in as my choice for President since I am having a very difficult time deciding who to vote for.<\/p>\n

I hope The Boss would approve….<\/p>\n

(Song titles in bold\/caps)<\/em><\/p>\n

I am certain that there are BETTER DAYS<\/strong> ahead as the markets are generally BORN TO RUN<\/strong>. My advice is simply: DON\u2018T LOOK BACK<\/strong> and realize that there is no MAGIC<\/strong> formula in the world of investing. Right now, there is panic OUT IN THE STREET<\/strong> and in the REAL WORLD<\/strong> these days every REAL MAN<\/strong> is having troubles and RESTLESS NIGHTS<\/strong> because PARADISE<\/strong> seems LOST IN THE FLOOD<\/strong> of the market turmoil.<\/p>\n

This has been a LONG TIME COMIN\u2018 <\/strong>and the worry about keeping a MAN\u2018S JOB<\/strong> on top of this mess makes this time TOUGHER THAN THE REST<\/strong>. It is clearly a WAR<\/strong> taking place started by the financial companies stoked by greed that made many investors now understand that WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY<\/strong>. \"Bruce<\/strong><\/p>\n

We borrowed too much and created an environment of ALL OR NOTHING<\/strong>. But, be sure that you, me and WE SHALL OVERCOME<\/strong>. Right now though, the market is being pushed and pulled by many DEVILS AND DUST<\/strong> particles will surely begin to settle after the election.<\/p>\n

Remember, the markets cannot deal with uncertainty and when the MAN AT THE TOP <\/strong> is found and that LUCKY MAN<\/strong> is known, we will be ONE STEP UP<\/strong> towards reduced volatility.<\/p>\n

One thing we do know is that right now, investing in the financial markets is a ROLL OF THE DICE<\/strong> or perhaps more like a game of ROULETTE<\/strong>, but there is REASON TO BELIEVE<\/strong> that the SEEDS<\/strong> planted by the FED and Treasury will eventually SPARK THE FUSE<\/strong> that could create a bull FEVER<\/strong> from these levels.<\/p>\n

How long will it last is the real question as we all wonder WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT<\/strong> on the rally. Now it is right to be a CAUTIOUS MAN<\/strong> into a time when short sellers are screaming COVER ME<\/strong> and frantically pushing stocks up in an environment of NO SURRENDER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is no longer a world that is run by those who are “in-the-know” who have our best interests at heart. Rather, it appears that those in charge are PART MAN AND PART MONKEY<\/strong> that gave us THE PROMISE<\/strong> of the American Dream only to issue more and more credit; better know as THE TIES THAT BIND<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

THE LINE<\/strong> has been crossed and it appears that while we may seem TRAPPED AGAIN<\/strong> by bills and financial worries, those that have realized early on that it is time to take matters into their own hands will eventually LAUGH ALL THE WAY HOME<\/strong>. We know all too well that the credit crisis was BORN IN THE U.S.A<\/strong>. and has spread ACROSS THE BORDER<\/strong> and now beyond THE RIVER<\/strong>. But, in the REAL WORLD<\/strong>, things have a way of cycling and this too shall pass. Now we need to look OVER THE RISE <\/strong>to seek and plan for yours and MY BEAUTIFUL REWARDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
