Stocks Fall – A Time For Massive Change is Coming??

Honestly, I hope what I write is NOT true but here you go…

What took almost every stock market in the World to make gain in 12 months, has been lost and vaporized in ONLY 2 months! I’ve been posting on a few social media sites since a couple of months ago – GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!

Many people who have money in the stock market have been holding on since the BIG decline in 2008. What are they holding on for? They are holding for the time when the stock market will once again rise to the DOW 12,000 to 14,000 level. The DOW has for the last 2 days, closed below 10,000 once again. I fear, that those people who are waiting, will be waiting for a few years to see those higher levels.

In the middle of 2009, I was already advising to a few people (but who am I to advise right? I’m not a certified stock analyst or anything like that), to get most of their money out. The only way that a person is going to make money in the markets for a while to come, is by either short-selling stocks or trading options. If you don’t know what those two ways are, then you either want to begin to learn now or stay out of the market.

Of course I may be wrong, but what if I’m not. The only way you’re going to have a little more certainty that the stock market (DOW Jones)  is going to advance higher than the DOW 14,000 level, IS when it actually does break a new high. Until that happens, I would suggest it would be safer to stay “short” the market and NOT long. In other words, no buying and holding stocks!

I addition to all this, a few weeks ago, as I sat and watched the stock market on my computer, I witnessed something I had never seen before. I witnessed the stock market decline (almost) 1,000 points in less than 15 minutes. 700 of those points were lost in less than 5 minutes! If you know anything about the stock market and how human psychology is so deeply embedded into it, you will know that those were some of the most fearful 5 minutes that existed for many, many people. Massive selling like that only takes place when there is MASSIVE FEAR.

And here’s a key distinction: I don’t think any of us have seen the worst declines yet.

But really I’m not writing because I want to talk about stock markets and global economies.

I am talking about the fear that exists in the World as a whole now. This is something that must be thought about and prepared for beginning from now. Sure some people are still sitting nice and happy, and “partying” away all their monthly or weekly income because 2009 (so people think) was the year of the “recovery”. Some people still believe it is “ok” and that economies are doing fine. I have even heard some people tell me, “Banks lending money is a good sign, loans are a good sign”.

The only thing I have to say is that, every once in a while comes a HUGE opportunity. Opportunity for what? Opportunity for transformation. Transforming what? Transforming what we believe, how we think, discarding our “old” models of the World and adopting “new” models of the World that will work in the future.

There are always two paths one can go down. One is a path of waiting for the “sh#!” to hit the fan before doing something about it. The other path is a path of anticipating the possibilities and future outcomes and preparing for them “ahead of time”. You choose…

If you were to ask me, I would say, that even starting to prepare now is a bit too late. But hey, any preparation is better than nothing at all.

Question is: “How do we prepare for this coming time of escalating fear and collapse?”

Sure we can prepare financially, but what is more important than that is to prepare and build up our psychology and “state of being”. We need to begin strengthening our mental, emotional and even physical states in  order to, not just handle, but be able to create the life of success, balance and serenity that we want amidst the global chaos that will be going on. There is a way to do this – there is always a way!

Here’s a final note and something to really think about:

“Everything that exists on this planet, has been built up from an idea and thought. That’s how EVERYTHING started. Therefore, I need not say that your mind and brain are the most powerful things you will ever own physically. If you do not learn how to use them in order to create the life you want, truly desire and deserve, then what are you doing with them? Your mental, emotional and physical state determine everything else that you create in your life, everything that you experience in your life and everything that you WILL experience in life.

And of course, I may be completely wrong about all this and be absolutely out of my mind. But hang on… I am out of my mind!
