For over a month now I have been telling people that we are in a bear market and that they need to take action accordingly - both in the private members section of this site and with people I know. Last week I issued a video sharing my views to the general public.
I believe we are in a bear market that is going to last into the second quarter of next year fueled by further deterioration in the economy.
Thousands of people listen to what I say, but when it comes to something like this very few people are able to get defensive in the stock market, because they are more fearful of missing out on a rally than they are of losing money.
It's crazy - especially considering how we have just lived through two vicious bear markets in the past ten years and witnessed a collapse in real estate prices and now are living in a time of economic malaise - but the average person who gets in the stock market is unable to deal with reality and simply gets caught up in greed and the fear of missing out.
This is a video one of the website members found and shared by someone who is a better video talker than I am. Maybe it will help you to wake up and make some adjustments to your portfolio. His advice on what to do is 100% spot on.
