Recession makes life difficult for a stock investor. You may think that bulls suffer more pain. Factually, bears may make greater stock losses. Any uncontrollable impulse to trade can hurt. Commissions for stock brokers are the only certain cash flows. A long term optic is a reliable antidote for meandering stock transactions.
Adversity separates exceptional stock from the market crowd. Bulls are infamous for lacking discretion when they trade. Bears and fear of bears encourages caution. Any sales person can beat a target when the going is good. Superior executives come to the fore in trying times. An investor knows stock value for certain when a company performs in hostile territory.
“Check out Starbucks. There is a spike in media interest, and I want to know where we stand on this stock”.
Edward de Bono has called it ‘Water Logic’. Stand on your worries. Suspend conventional barriers in your mind. Allow your thoughts to meander. So what if worst case scenarios come true? You could be surprised by those bright lights at the end of the tunnel in your brain.
Stock investing feels rather like a transcontinental flight at this time. The seat belt sign stays on long after you think that the turbulence is behind you.
