Long Term Investing The American public is underrated. It's not that we aren't capable of understanding how long term investing works, it's that we aren't given the opportunity - or easy access - to the information. Instead, TV and Cable news programs are overly concerned about short term gains and sensationalism that they are willing to turn the whole scenario on its ear just to vie for ratings. Enough is enough! Long term investing isn't about fast and easy money. It is about investing your money for the long run. Putting your money into investments that you trust will pay off years from now. Long term investing is very different from making a quick buck or trying to make money in a day, month or even a couple of years. Long term investing used to be considered to have a time window of at least 10 years. Now people refer to long term investing as anything over five years, but honestly that timeframe is a lot shorter than longer. News programs have a responsibility to report accurately and informatively. They need to lose the sensationalism. We're tired of it. We want the simple plan truth. All of it. Even if you think we won't stay for it. Even if you have to do a little research to gather it. Do it. Tell us the facts. Tell us about the revenue. Not big talk about nothing or different strategic schemes in hopes of the new way to the quick buck. Just tell us the facts so that we can best determine which long term investment opportunities fit our needs. This economic disaster that we are in is because of greed and ignorance. The market is an inadament object. It's not possible for the market to be greedy. It is people who are greedy. It has made them pathetically irresponsible both with their own money and with that of others. AND THEY THINK IT'S OKAY! Well... it's not okay. Get it together. Slow down and stop trying to keep up with the Jones'. In case you haven't noticed, it's put the homes of both you and the Jones' in foreclosure and now you are expecting the rest of us to bail you out. These people did not think about long term investing, rather they thought they'd get on the bandwagon of the new fast money scheme. Let's live and learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others. Let's not keep repeating them. Let think about long term investing when we think about our money objectives and goals. Let's not teach this sort of greed-based, national insecurity and over-consumption to our kids. Let's stop. Breathe. And, reconsider our options. Think about the benefits of long term investing! Also, it's okay to write your local or national stations and let them know that you want more responsible reporting, rather than fear-based rhetoric spewed for the purpose of sensationalism spurred Nielsen ratings.Let them know you want less sensationalism, more facts and more in depth programming that will help you make decisions related to long term investing. |
