I realize it now - my emotions are like the stock market and economy

[futuregopher]

I'm constantly testing out new lows and rallies only end in sell offs which decrease my happiness mood. Some days, I'm like the DJIA at 13,000 but it's not unusual for me to sell off to 8,000 points for the next few days. Speculation about good news coming out of certain regions of the world is like speculation that the future will get better which results in huge 800 points rallies. But then some people take advantage of the rallies and good emotions, sell their shares and interests for their own short term gains, and I'm back to testing out new lows.

 

No one can stop this volatility. Not even Bernanke or alcohol. A short term fix like Quantitative Easing 2 which comes in the form of partying with alcohol does nothing to the real fundamental issues. I've been in a great bull run for the past two years but the bear market started three months ago since she dumped me. What will really fix this economy is dedicating ourselves to fixing the underlying issues which make this economy great. Improvement in education, updating our infrastructure and appearance, and to take a leap of faith in ourselves to make our country and us get back to where we were.

 

It won't be easy. Nothing ever is. Hopefully I will continue to fix the fundamental issues that cause this volatility. I am going to make these mini-rallies of faith into a full blown bull run that will lead to prosperity for all.

 

Until then, I will continue to study for my test that is in 9 hours!!
