Sheep mentality

As humans we see ourselves as the top species on the planet. But when it comes right down to it, some of the things we do collectively may leave aliens from another planet wondering who is in charge. Looking at the global economic crisis, it is very obvious we are making it worse because of the sheep mentality.

If you had the opportunity Friday October 10 to watch the minute by minute ride on the New York stock exchange, you may have noticed in the opening minutes the market dropped faster than a fighter jet with afterburners full on. Then shortly after the market bounced back flying up and down in a 1000 point range all day. When it was all over, the market finally close down 128 points. The day’s chart looked like a seismograph riding out a 9.5 earthquake.

They may easily come to the conclusion that there is no intelligent life on the planet.

The secret here is to understand what stocks are more or less immune to the market and then after the sheep have drove the price of stock to a ridiculous low level, buy as much as you can afford.
