Shut Up and Buy

Over the weekend I saw a great documentary called “Searching for Sugar Man.” For those of you who’ve never heard of it, I highly recommend watching it. It’s such an unbelievable story; it’s almost too good to be true. I won’t give away the storyline. But it’s an important reminder to never give up on dreams. I do believe we all have our own, unique, special talents. You just have to exert the effort and courage to make them come true.

Turkey is going “full mohammed” on their government. I wouldn’t worry too much about revolution there. The country is protected by a secular military, who will drop cluster bombs on powerful religious zealots, before ceding control of the country to them.

Futures are higher and stocks look poised to recover some of Friday’s losses. As always, at the first sign of weakness, I got scared out of stocks, turned all bearish, and starting reading Zerohedge again. I really need to stop over-thinking the market, trying to time tops, and just get long the names that I like. I can’t tell you how many huge winners I’ve missed out on this year, and over the past two years, due to fear of losing money. It’s more than that, actually. I want to avoid losses and time bottoms too, also a ridiculously hard task–even with The PPT.

Bottom line: I have a few names that are worthy of my time and I am going to buy them today.
