21st November 2008 - Market Report by Dale Gillham

Every day, we are being bombarded with news about the demise of the world’s share markets and economies moving into recession. While the media’s job is to sell papers, all this doom and gloom is becoming a little too monotonous. As we know the market is driven by changes in market sentiment, which tends to correlate with what many investment experts refer to as the investment clock. The clock itself assists investors to determine where we are in the current investment cycle and what they should do next with their money. With this knowledge the investor is able to make more informed decisions rather than the emotional decisions that are fuelled by the media frenzy.

A long time ago a wise individual told me that if you want to become wealthy, listen and learn from someone who already is. Based on this I have found that it is far more beneficial and profitable to block out the noise of the media and instead focus on opportunities that always present themselves when times are bad. As we know, good times never last and neither do the bad times; therefore right now you should be preparing yourself to take advantage of the opportunities that will present themselves when the market stops falling as the next cycle on the investment clock is for rising share prices and rising commodity prices.
