Week 32 Update and Timing your investments

There are lots of different reasons to invest or not invest at a certain time...

EDIT: At the time this blog entry was posted I had a Youtube video here. That has been removed but I want the rest of my content to be remain. Nothing hidden no past mistakes ignored. All out in the open.

This may or may not be the Christmas rally. For me, I want to wait and see. I saw one author last week not only say that this is the Christmas rally but that this is the beginning of a new bull market. Kind of a bold statement what with everything going on in the world right now.
