Santiago re: [""If you position yourself correctly now, you’ll look back from the year 2010 and see that this new commodities boom marked the beginning of the greatest wealth-building event of your lifetime." --Louis Navellier, editor, Blue Chip Growth Letter
Actually, that quote was written by a very talented "copywriter" from Phillips Publishing in Lancaster, PA...whose name I will not use.
He was tapping into your hidden desires... his job is to know the conversation ongoing in your mind, your hidden desires...and your greatest fears... and then in the essence of salesmanship in print -- to push those hot buttons and to sell you something.
And he does it buy knowing "you" -- better than you know yourself... and if he's a student of human behavior and psychology (which all successful copywriters are)... he fans the flames of desire by telling you exactly what you want to hear -- not what you need to hear...and sells you what you want -- not what you need....
Remember that point...(more on this later...)
re: "not comiting myself" ?
Puh-leeze... (more on this as well...later this evening)
The greatest sin of all sins that any trader/investor will ever make is -- SELF DELUSION.
...already having your mind made up -- and filtering what others are actually saying, or writing...and only reading, hearing, or seeing -- what you want to hear, read, or see... versus what was actually said, or written.
That's human nature... people constantly filter "reality" into what they want it to be...versus what it really is.
90% of humanity is so "hard wired" in this way -- that they couldn't change it -- even if they consciously tried...
The other 10% of humankind... who are lucky enough to not be wired that way...can "crack the code" to investing & trading by following this simple advice vis a vis human psychology & behavior:
"Don't play your cards -- play the people."
-- DOYLE BRUNSON
10 Time -- World Series of Poker Winner
I'll keep repeating that mantra -- for the benefit of 10% of the readers who are reading this -- who are capable of putting it to use.
I remain,
