The photo you see is a Raku pottery piece by the famous American Raku pottery artist Robert Pipenburg. I purchased this from an ebay seller out of Water Mill, NY. Yes, the Hamptons which is in the throes of an economic crisis right now. I won't go into how much I paid for the piece, but just let's say that for my investment, I reaped a substantial financial reward. No way I could have purchased this piece at the going market rate!
On 3 March 2009, Barak Obama gave a speech in which he mentioned then current market conditions. He said that stocks haven't been this low since the late 1990s and now would be a good time to buy. His message was panned everywhere, with news pundits berating his stimulus package as well as his financial savy. Well let's see...
3/3/09 DJIA 6726;NASDAQ 1321;S&P 500 696
3/16/09* DJIA 7218;NASDQ 1404;S&P 500 753
3/23/2009 DJIA 7776;NASDAQ 1558;S&P 500 823
* - Adjusted my 401k from bonds to stocks.
Since my 3/16/2009 move, my stock value has incerased 30 per cent. Since Obama's speech the DJIA has increased 116 per cent, NASDAQ 111 per cent and the S&P 500 109 per cent.
For the people who did not get in, don't sweat it, there are more increases to come.
Folks, stocks have not been this low in a while, art has not been this low in a while, do you see a pattern here!? Now is the time to start buying again; we have hit bottom and things will be quite shakey for a while, but for those with money, the time could not be more perfect.
Now I'm not saying that our President is a sooth-sayer and that "happy days are here again", but opporunities are out there to create value and wealth. President Obama has given us the road map and we now must go out , seek and find it. Don't listen to the nay-sayers and near-do-wells, all they want is to get back in power and take what you have. They also don't want a thing to work because they believe that will get them back in office faster.
SEIZE THE DAY PEOPLE!!
