    Market Frustration (Part 1 of 2)

    Friday, October 28, 2005

    NOTE from Denise: Women are notoriously less likely to invest in stocks because we are more fearful of taking risks. However most polls indicate that men are seriously outperforming women in terms of investing returns. If you've kept your head in the sand because as a woman you have been uncomfortable with investing it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. You will likely divorce or outlive your husband or partner. So be a strong, savvy woman and start educating yourself today.

    By Al Thomas

    “I bought that stock a month ago and it hasn’t done anything. My broker said it was going to take off.” Yes, and pigs can fly.

    How about, “I bought that stock five years ago and it went up and now is selling for less that it did when I bought it”. Do I hear the violins playing?

    There is an old, old saying; THE STOCK MARKT WILL DO WHAT IT WANTS TO DO, BUT NOT WHEN YOU WANT IT TO”. You may have heard that one and today’s market is doing just that.

    When there is an obvious trend up and people are buying as we had from 1982 to 2000 everyone is happy. Each person thinks he is a stock market genius. For 18 years it was difficult to make a mistake. Even if you bought a dog (no reflection on man’s best friend) it would go up. When the market started down the geniuses looked at each other and did not know what to say. There was silence in the boardroom and commiseration by the water cooler. Everyone was losing.

    Probably one of the most frustrating investment periods of all is the sideways market that we have had for the past year. The talking heads on CNBC-TV say it is not a broad market in which you can buy any equity, but a market of particular stocks. In other words you have to turn into stock picker. Unfortunately, most stock pickers end up with smelly fingers.

    The investors who have owned index funds find they have made no money for the past year. In fact the S&P 500 Index is just about where it was 5 years ago. Pretty darn frustrating. Is there any way to make money in the market without raising your blood pressure?
