Let’s be honest.
Why do Gloom and Doom stories grab your attention? Is it because they appeal to our darker side? Or is it a result of the constant media onslaught to keep us worried about things we need not worry about?
It’s probably a combination of both.
Wall Street’s bought-and-paid-for media knows this and uses it as a weapon against YOU. They know that by distracting you with “Doom Porn,” you won’t be able to see what’s going on behind the scenes.

When you focus on something negative you tend to see everything from the negative perspective.
The opposite is true about something positive.
Q: If that’s the case then why doesn’t the media focus on the positive side of things?
A: IT DOESN’T SELL.
And if something doesn’t sell, you can bet that the financial media stays far away from it.
Ex: Based on headlines, which story would you most likely read?
- MASSIVE SEX SCANDAL ROCKS THE SENATE
- THESE TWO SENATORS HAVE FAITH IN AMERICA
See my point?
As far as investing is concerned, here’s the message: It’s very hard to Listen to the markets when someone the media is Screaming in your ear about something unimportant.
Do you want to win more than lose?
Learn how to LISTEN to what the markets are saying. And the best way to do that is to tune out the “Doom Junkies” that strive to keep you hooked.
We successfully “kicked the habit” years ago. And we’ll show you how simple it is (HERE).
