Characteristics of Successful Clients?
  

I was recently asked "what are some characteristics or traits you've noticed in people who seem to reach their goals?".

 

Hmmmm.....good question.

 

I suppose I could be completely self-serving by saying "they click on my videos in my newsletter" but that'd be too obvious. 

 

So, I'll start off by saying "they treat their life and goals like a business".

 

For the rest, you should watch the video

Stimulus in Europe?

Currency Symbols 

Unemployment in Europe is at an all time high.
  
Inflation has fallen to 1.2%

Will Europe cut rates and cause a stimulus?
  
I think they will.

NerdWallet investigated all the 883 analyst ratings issued on the Dow Jones 30 stocks in 2012.

 

All the recommendations were  issued prior to January 1, 2012.

 

Then it compared the recommendations to stock performance through 2012.

 

NerdWallet found that only 51 percent of the recommendations were correct.

 

Yes, predicting stock movement is challenging, but you do expect highly paid analysts with decades of experience to at least beat the average. And 49 percent of analysts failed on that parameter.

I make no secret of the fact that I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, along with the prequel The Hobbit.

 

Not that I'm counting or anything, but there are only 224 days left until December 13th, when "The Hobbit:  The Desolation of Smaug" opens in theaters.


If you've read this far down in the newsletter, you have no one to blame but yourself for this random piece of information.
  
I'll keep you posted as the year unfolds.
