If you’re not convinced by now that we live in a global economy and world news has an impact on a stock, the stock market and your rsp or 401k, I’d suggest you don’t invest your investment capital and wealth in the markets. More than any other single factor today, Europe’s economic crisis is the catalyst for the rise and fall of the US and Canadian market levels.
There is no thoughtful commentary on what will happen in Europe… and those that have attempted to guess what will happen with the European bailout have been shown to be as foolish as that small fanatical group that claimed the world was ending on May 21, 2011. So, I’ll steer far away from making any predictions on when, how, if, etc. and simply point us to the reality: “It’s a Small World After All.” READ MORE →

To capture the reality of the stock market and the role of Greece in this ongoing crisis, I’d like to tell you a short story. It goes something like this: Once upon a time… there were five little PIIGS. When the time came for them to leave home and seek their fortunes, where do you think they went? To the market of course… yep, every one of them went to the market and none stayed home. And why would they… their homes were in bad shape. The straw economic houses they built were falling apart around them and the Big Bad Wolf of economic reality was pounding on their doors and yelling, “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.” ”No, no” they cried out. “Not by the hair on my chiny chin chin.” But economic reality doesn’t just walk away… it’s always here to stay.
