The World is Improving – Just as we Said
Remember our comments throughout the last few months. There will be no double dip recession. Economics are cleansing themselves.

The lesson here is to disregard the talking heads and look around you. Nowhere are there more ‘For Rent’ signs then there were a few months ago. Unemployment, although bad and distressful, is not rising. Bank and other financing is rising. Banks are stable and showing profits.

Successful Investing
If you had doubts until now, it is time to look at what is happening around you. If you wait until all markets have fully recovered, you will be back on that old treadmill of trying to figure out which stocks may rise further when almost all are already fairly valued.

If you want to make money, don’t delay. Start choosing your stocks now. The bottom has occurred. But be careful.

The juniors have started moving. Resources have started moving.

Don’t get trapped in so-called blue chips.
