Contemplating the Boobs We Were

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I’m really glad Kim Kiyosaki started blogging again (or…ahem… hired someone to write for her again) at www.richwoman.com

This was the entry from last week

I want to share with you an article that appeared in The New York Times
on December 28. The article is titled, “Contemplating the Boobs We Were”and was sent to me by Donald Trump. Donald has fully embraced his
role as a financial educator.

The author cleverly describes how
so many people became “boobs and easy marks” in the financial markets

there anything we can learn from this latest round of financial

I couldn’t post a blog earlier today because Myspace was working on it’s blogging platform.

So I watched the stock market slash through several layers of support, bounce back up to kiss the ceiling, and then fall down through the next layer of support.  It was textbook Fibonacci Retracement.  I had my best trading day EVER!!!  I took profits on GOOGLE and moved the stops down on my other positions to lock in profits.

My response referenced my definition of a SuperStripper:

Assets

So I got talking with one of my co-workers last night about investing.  It is a topic I’m passionate about because I believe the path to financial freedom is through acquiring assets and limiting liabilities.  In fact, this whole subprime mess is because millions of people don’t understand the difference between an asset and a liability. 

One blog I read everyday is by Kim Kiyosaki,  http://kimkiyosaki.blogspot.com The following is an excerpt from her Dec 30th post.  Her company is dedicated to providing women opportunities to improve their financial literacy which will inturn, improve the quality of their lives.  If you have absolutely no clue what investing is about, this is a good place to start.
