“It’s morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money.”
~ W.C. Fields ~
Have you ever laughed at a joke and thought, “Hmmm! That was funny…but it also makes a lot of sense.”
If that’s the case, then you also know that most comedian’s jokes come from real life experiences.
Some of W.C. Fields best jokes came from him (allegedly) taking an event (or something he experienced) and asking two questions about it.
-
What’s funny about this?
-
Why is it funny?
Okay, by now you might be thinking, “What’s this have to do with investing?”
The answer might surprise you.
Try asking yourself those questions about a time you bought into some Wall Street overhyped idea that ended with you losing money.
Go ahead. We’ll wait.
If you’re like us, when you look back at an unwise decision, you gain a unique perspective. And it’s often funny.
But the key takeaway is, “What did you learn?”
Did you get persuaded by some smooth talking “Guru” you saw on TV?
Or did you read a compelling/well written financial newsletter that caused you to act on impulse?
If so, then welcome to the W.C Fields club.
We’ve all fallen for the hype at one time or another…and that’s why his quote makes so much sense.
It’s also the basis for Wall Street predators whose sole purpose is to help you part with your hard-earned dollars.
And the funny part is, many of these “experts” are people with little or no experience in the investment world.
But they can write convincing letters or articles that make you salivate for what they’re promoting. (and that’s the real joke Fields is referring to)
And based on what we are seeing happen in the Middle East, we believe all markets will be subject to a lot of disruption in the coming months.
We lay it out for you to see (In Plain English) in our September newsletter (HERE) with an exclusive insight to the problems in Saudi Arabia that the Presstitutes DON’T want you to know.
At Financialsmatter.com we have over 115+ years of combined traders experience to help you navigate the Wall Street mine fields.
Which is why one of our favorite slogans is:
A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with a theory.
Compare our experience with other theories (HERE).
And share this with a friend…especially if they think we will win Netanyahu’s war by the midterm election and that gas prices will go down then too. They’ll thank YOU later.
And tell them:
We’re Not Just About Finance
But we use finance to give you hope.
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
~John 8:32~
