Find Your One Thing
In the movie "City Slickers", Curly is asked what the meaning of life is. He replies "One Thing".
It's my belief that your financial success is so much more than just investments. That's why I named my company "Generosity Wealth Management" instead of "Generosity Investment Management". I feel 80% of acquiring and preserving wealth is behavior, not chasing after the home run investment.
A colleague here at the office said "funny, the harder you work the luckier you seem to get". I couldn't agree more.
My video this week is about the importance of finding the "one thing" that you're doing that is holding you back from financial success. It's also about the "one thing" that you've done to make yourself successful--continue doing that!

Japan Slowly Awakening to Debt Situation
One of my goals in my newsletter is to bring to your awareness things that I find interesting or alarming.
The article below is in the "alarming" category.
Japan borows more than it raises in taxes, and its debt amounts to two years' worth of Japan's economic output.
Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the world. Half of the country's tax income is directed to simply servicing it's debt.
In addition to Europe and China (which I've written about in the past), Japan is one of the next huge players we'll be unraveling in the future. I have great concerns about investing in Japan, and a Euro-Pacific investment is the most troublesome to me.
Be careful if you have that allocation in your portfolio.

Greece
Are you tired of reading and hearing about Greece? Me too, but that doesn't mean it's going to stop. The most recent Greek agreement is a joke (in my opinion) and makes a significant number of overly optimistic assumptions about the future. As I view it, there is no way the European Monetary Union can survive in it's current form, and definitely not with Greece in there. Where is the money to be made for investors like us? I continue to advise a higher allocation to the United States and avoid Greece and the whole of Europe for at least 2012. Open Questions Surrounding the Second Greek Bailout This is Your Brain on a Hot Streak 
Continuing the theme from my video, investor behavior has a significant influence on your success.
A recent study found that cells deep in the brain calculate a sort of moving average of past events, giving the greatest weight to the most recent outcomes.
So, even after a long term upward trend, or long term downward trend, a few months in the opposite direction can prompt impulsive investor decisions towards or away from stocks.
Avoid the knee-jerk reactions.

Duff Beer
 Oh yeah, Duff Beer.
This post only makes sense if you watch the Simpsons or have kids that watch the Simpsons. I'm 43 years old now and I've been watching it since I was about 18 and in college. Hard to believe it's been on that long. Anyway, the fictional Duff Beer is now available in the UK. If anyone is going over there soon, can you buy me some? Fictional Beer Made a Reality |
