Lessons From A Bear Market Survivor

Lessons From A Bear Market Survivor

Seeking Alpha — I have lived through several bear markets since I began buying stocks in 1993. I stayed invested through all of them, except one. In early 2016, I got out of the market and regretted it and then got back in six weeks later. We've seen a lot of volatility in the U.S. markets this year but little or no gains through Dec. 13, 2018. After a nine-year bull market, a bear market may be upon us. I am preparing myself for the possibility but hope I'm wrong.

These shrewd intelligent investors taught me valuable techniques for making money. They taught me it is easier to be profitable if you test your ideas against the best in the business. Growing up in Nebraska in the 1980s and 1990s, my early mentors were overshadowed and in awe of Warren Buffett.

Attributes of a Hyper-Conscious Mind & Enlightened Soul | elephant journal

Elephant Journal — "When you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that going for me." -Bill Murray quoting the Dalai Lama in Caddyshack.
