Moving forward financially in the POST 911 ENVIRONMENT is not something to be taken lightly. Unlike other POST environments in our history there is no simple solution for the elite to upper elite economic class. Not this time pilots. I cannot tell my clients to put 80% in stocks and 20% in bonds, advise them to buy real-estate, or even start an insurance company. Unfortunately the financial upheaval in wake of the terrorist attacks on our country has created a possible paradigm shift in the investment arena. I say "possible" only because the full impact of these events is heretofore unknown.
What is for certain is that traditional safe havens such as blue chips and bonds are now less stable than the PRE 911 dot.com market. Now more than ever success depends on a clear statement of goals. You can not have your proverbial cake and eat it too. If you're like me you would do well to purchase a bomb shelter, gas mask, flak jacket, metal detector, and hire a professional mail-opening service. Just being alive will ensure your blue carpet status when everyone else is dead. Beer and women are a definite buy but only if you are prepared to die soon.
But post911, wasn't there a Cold War era strategy that would ensure both safety and sex during the fallout of a dooms day event?
Yes, but unless you are a politician, a hot babe, or a member of our MEC, the possibility of the computer selecting you are quite remote. All the pilots died. Slim Pickens = Slim Chance!
The end is near. You are lucky to even have a job, ahem, be alive. Invest with confidence my friends.
