Dow Jones Industrial Average in 1929

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it looks like we may be set up for a massive worldwide depression. Further research showed that the exact same thing happened during The Great Depression. There was a sharp drop in the stock market, followed by a rally, and only then did the real drop start.

I was speaking with a stock broker yesterday, and he said,

Everything is set to go down. Now is the time to get short.

Personally, I think there is a good chance that the world’s economies and stock markets will go down in a big way. So, that means we should be the farm, right?

There are even people who daytrade the currency markets. Forex is popular because it gives traders very fast executions, has tiny spreads and provides high leverage (100:1). Yet human traders are not the only ones who can benefit from these advantages.

Don’t do as I do. Do as I say. Because, fair disclosure: I am a loyal, buy-and-hold stockholder in several companies.

You are loyal at your own peril in the market, and God knows, especially in this market.

I bought Johnson Controls, for example, as one of my dividend-producing stocks about ten years ago because I liked the ever-increasing dividends and, to be honest, liked the company, for some reason. I still own the stock, even as its worth plummeted. And, to be honest, I will continue to plow my re-invested dividends into the stock.

Am I an idiot? Well, the point is certainly arguable. But I think I suffer from another acute and potentially financially fatal condition.
