Greetings!
The tsunami that hit Japan last week and has affected their nuclear reactors is causing great concern in the stock markets. The Nikkei dropped 11% a few nights ago. The US markets have dropped 2% this morning (Tuesday as I write this). Now is the time to determine if you're gambling or investing?. Is this an emotional sell off or a harbinger of things to come? I discuss Emotional Selling in my video this week.

How Should Investors React to Geopolitical Shocks?
The article I link to below expands on the themes I bring up in my weekly video. You want a double dose of "emotional selling"? You know you do. Click on the link.
Don't forget the unexpected happens. The "Peace Dividend" after the Berlin Wall (quite a euphoric event) saw the next 2 years in a stock market recession.
After 9/11? 6 year stock rally ensued.
It is uncertain the long term effect of the Japanese troubles. Let's not make long term decisions based on short term emotions.
That's what separates the amateurs from the pros. Be a pro.
How to Make Better Decisions
I'm in a constant pursuit of improving my skills as I manage your money and guide you towards your goals. This study, which I find interesting, studied decisions made by people with empty and full bladders. The full bladder people made better decisions. While I don't necessarily think having a full bladder is the true answer to wisdom, I read this study that good decisions are made when there is a deadline, sense of urgency, and you're focused on your goal so you can move on to other things. Good takeaways. Just in case, I'm drinking some water while I write this. Full article at the click.....
There is a significant amount of money being held by corporations at the moment.
$1.9 trillion. 7% of their cash. That's the highest level since 1963.
This is rational (from their point of view) due to the uncertainty in the world, including mixed signals from Washington.
But as they reinvest in technology, efficiency, and new products, this bodes well for the longer term value of their firms, and ultimately our investment markets.

Rock, Papers, Scissors
In my continued pursuit of winning at Rock, Papers, Scissors (see my previous newsletter where I gave strategies), the New York Times has an active webpage where you can play against a computer, and the computer learns from you in order to beat you in subsequent tries.
It's pretty good. Of course, it's really an exercise in statistical averages and that we're really not as random as we think we are.
But knowing that takes the fun away, so forget you just read that.
I encourage you to play at the link.....
