This is NOT a political article.  Whether you like Obama or not, whether you voted for Obama or not – there is a lesson to learn. Please note that this is NOT a children’s tale.  Whether you believe in Superman or not – there is a lesson to learn.

Please note that this is not a primer on the stock market.  Whether you invest in the stock market or not – there is a lesson to learn.

Let’s Begin With Warren Buffett There is at least ONE idea which you share with the Greatest Investor of all Time.

Let’s look at this ONE idea you share: BUY LOW SELL HIGH.

When times are terrible, Warren Buffett buys.  He not only SAYS “Buy Low Sell High”, he actually DOES it.

You KNOW “Buy Low Sell High”, the purpose of this article is to make you look at whether you BELIEVE it and are prepared to actually DO something about it.

Prices are LOW only when there is a problem.  Wise investors look at the low prices and decide to:

-feel good; and

-invest at the wondrously low prices.

People who are simply frightened by headlines and get scared:

-feel bad; and

-see only the problem not the low prices.

So, what do you and Warren Buffett have in common?  Both you and he know the rule: “Buy Low Sell High”.  Warren Buffet invests when prices are low.  Will you follow his lead and be happy now that prices are low or will you see only the problem and get scared?

Maybe you’ve already got scared.  Well, let me confess that I too got scared and did not know what to do for a brief while in September 2008 when the markets began to crash.  But, I quickly remembered what I already knew and what Warren Buffett is a model of – Buy Low Sell High.

I am not asking you to necessarily buy stocks, mutual funds, real estate, etc. right now.  But, I sure am asking you to feel GREAT that the economy is poised to rise spectacularly from these current depths.  NOW is the time to feel great.  NOW is the time to get ready for great investment deals.  NOW is when the greatest opportunities arise.

Now, Let’s Look at Obama and Superman Obama is not Superman.  Don’t waste your time waiting for him to fly in to save you.  Some think that Obama will be a great President; others think he will fail.  Some think Obama has valid financial ideas; others do not.  Regardless, he is the President and he will do what he does.

That’s the point.  He will do what he does and he will NOT fly into your home to save you.  There is only one person who has that job – YOU.

Obama feels that YOU are Superman, certainly not himself.  He knows he is not Superman.  But, one wonderful aspect of Obama’s character is that he definitely knows that YOU are the one who can save yourself.  You are the one who can rise above your current situation.  You are the one who can learn your lessons and become greater than you currently are.

One of my favourite Obama quotes is: CHANGE DOES NOT COME FROM WASHINGTON, CHANGE COMES TO WASHINGTON.  Metaphorically, he means that only YOU can being change to yourself, to the nation, and to the world.  Start with yourself.

How Can You Begin Becoming Your Own Superman, Your Own Warren Buffett It is your job to not only KNOW the slogan “buy low sell high”; rather it is your job now to DO “buy low sell high”.  Notice what GOOD investments are absurdly low right now and then grab them instead of being afraid like everyone else.
