Tactics that Work in Good Markets and Bad
 
--

Dear Subscribers,

It was like a broken record the past two days of trading with a low start and then a bounce back. The market is running more on the fear of uncertainty and worry of investors resting mainly on the issues in Ireland and Europe. The Irish have laid out a budget, lets allow the EU run with that and get it together. We certainly cannot influence it. Besides, the European Commission is investigating Google, what? really? Are they trying to generate the money they need? Come on, leave our cash generating behemoth U.S.company alone!

Investor focus needs to shift domestically (seeing some of this with the afternoon bounce backs) because the important components right here are still showing positive. Consumer confidence is picking up and U.S. growth (albeit slow) is moving ahead.

Yes, there are those of you who are already saying, "it is all global, you big dummy, and we need to worry about Europe because who is going to be next, Portugal or Spain?...and government debt begins to wreck corporate debt". Okay, it is something to watch, but lets not confuse European governments with European companies (many of whom are doing just fine). And, lets not run screaming for the hills and miss out on some great opportunities. Besides, we need to get our house in order (which we are doing). Are you one who is getting nervous about the situation over the pond? Then, take advantage of the hysteria, short the euro for now and let's move forward.
