Stop the Gloom – Go Boom!

©  Helena Lind · Filed Under Features · Add your comment

No Gloom - Boom!!Do not get too comfortable in this doom and gloom scenario. Anyway do not take pleasure by making things worse than they are raving in bad news from banks and markets as that pleasure might be short and not what you want at the end of the day.
 
And there is another old adage:
“whence down in the valley all around ye is pointing uphill”… Or so…
 
This valley of subprime crisis, credit crunch, banks faltering and squeezed customers failing their payments is not going to be perpetual.
We tend to forget that all is an eternal cycle of change. When we’re up there we think there is no horizon and the sky ain’t high enough to pose a limit.
 
When we’re down in them old dumps all is so sad, bad and gloomy and hope is abandoned far too quickly in favour of painting a grey scenario pitch black.
Both attitudes are only too human but both attitudes are only too wrong.
 
All is going in circles, our planet spins instead of moving linear.
So are events, history, life.
 
Soon there will be the time to buy stocks.
Because they are dirt cheap and will again generate good value in good time.
Where if not in stocks will investors put their money?
Having to do so because the stuff’s gotta go somewhere.
Think of all those pension funds alone.
And the end of the Bush era.
 
Prices are rising and profit margins are falling right now.
Macro economics are deteriorating internationally.
But they have done that before.
Time and time again.
We are in a valley.
 
But there is no eternal gloom.
The swell goes up and down.
The mountains around us show us where to aim at.
 
I can see us going towards the hugestest boom ever. The light at the end of this maybe rather elongated tunnel is very big and very bright.
There will be wholesome harmonisation between the all too fast growing states like China and India and the old economies US and Europe. By chance there will be healthier growth.
 
And perhaps a few of us might have learnt something from the current crisis?
 
As the well respected philosopher Yazz once said: The Only Way Is Up, Baby!
Not referring to inflation.
 
Change is in the air.
Mark my word.
