The reason is because we are not in control of the macro environment but we are in command (hopefully) of our micro environment. Now a not-so-famous multi-millionaire taught me a strategy that he developed after reading the late Harry Browne and the late Jerome Smith. He even worked for Jerome when he was in his early 20s. But you cannot deny the run up of oil gold and silver...and the continuing devaluation of the USD. So while you might not follow the writers you list you can still learn something and turn a profit based on your own acuity. Of course, if you were to study marketing you would see that the fear of loss out sells the pleasure of gain---so of course the writers play to the fears. Anyway, the one strategy I learned from that multi-millionaire has allowed me to begin to prosper in ways I would have never known about had he not first read Browne and Smith. Interesting...

Fear of losing is a much stronger emotion than greed. What I don't understand is how people fail to sell when losses are small. If they are so afraid, I would think they'd want to sell quickly. I know I sure do. I have tons of small losses. So many it seems tragic. But I am afraid of losing even more. It's not just being wrong that hurts, it actually feels unfair. Especially when the market rallies after you've hit your stop. Not only does it seem unfair, it feels like you've been robbed. No doubt, the fear factor is real.

It is hard to believe that most of the time, the people that have voice are exactly those that do not play for real in the market. I have been out of this crap for a while and it still impress me how the average investor is so hungry for someone to tell them what to do, that little secret that he is missing in order to achieve success. The survivors are always those who take full responsibility for their actions, being it bad or good. Great article. lol :) []s Hi Chris,
