Bears Are Usually Wrong
Guess what!
The world is getting better.
The optimists are right. The pessimists are wrong.
In the stock market there are always people calling for a correction or a bear market, saying that stocks are soon going to drop. And sometimes they are right.
But they are usually wrong.
Stocks generally go up. That is the reality.
Stocks are usually going up.
People get awfully upset when they go down.
But they usually are going up.
So calling for a correction or a bear market is usually a bad call.

Peak Oil?
"An undeclared world war for oil is already under way." Roger Ebert says this in his review of the movie "Collapse."
World War For Oil
Is that what we are fighting about?
gasoline for our cars to drive around
fuel to fly around
travel around
transportation and travel?
Is that what we are killing for?
How sad!

Attitude Posture Footing
Where do you stand?
What do you stand on?
What do you stand for?
What is your standing?
Do you understand?
This could go on for a long time.
"We are spirits living in the material world."
Except there is no material world. It is all spirit. It is all spiritual.
We are spirits plain and simple living in eternity, in the infinite void, in the mind of GOD.
Posture is important. It is attitude. Your attitude is important. Your attitude can make a lot of difference. A positive attitude, optimistic, happy, loving, accepting. This could go on for a long time.
Postures
Work on your postures.
Feel them. Feel them good. Your posture is a reflection of your spirit. Your spirit is a reflection of your posture. Work on your posture is work on your spirit.
Choose
And stand on the ground. Have a firm footing.
What is the ground? Support, reality, truth.
The ground of being.
Good attitude
Good posture
Firm footing

I Had A Dream
I dreamed of a world where everyone was brilliant
and they all went to college
and they all went to law school or medical school
and they all became doctors or lawyers
and they had nothing to eat
so they all starved to death

Society Works Pretty Well
We have it pretty good around here.
Plenty of just about everything.
It is really amazing.
But people always want more, don't they?
Sure there are things that could be better. But look how good it really is.
We have more than people have ever had. And it keeps getting better.
Let's be happy now. Today. With all that we have got.
Let's not worry about they guy down the block with a nicer car or a bigger house.
Somebody else will always have more.
Be happy now. Smile now. Breathe now. Relax now.
Accept your limitations.
"Without limits we would simply dissolve into the infinite."

Out On A Limb, Things Getting Btter
Market is already done correcting.
It will hold at levels near 10,000 on the Dow 30.
This is a great buying opportunity.
I expect a 20% increase now in broad markets
Economy is recovering nicely.
Unemployment will gradually drop.
People will never stop complaining though.

Not Like The 30s No Great Depression Here
Really!
Things would need to get very bad for it to be like that time.
How many had indoor plumbing?
How many owned cars?
No TV
No internet
No computers
What kind of roads did we have?
What an amazing difference in the standard of living from 80 years ago.
Airliners?
Antibiotics?
Many didn't even have electricity in their homes!
You just can't reasonably compare our economy to that economy. It is like another world.
Things are great around here.
I see lots of activity. Breaking ground for new homes. New cars. Shoppers out. Restaurants busy.
The economy is great.
It will only get better.
