On Tuesdays, we usually talk about time issues time management, productivity and getting things done. But today, with the volatility of the stock market, we thought we d take a look at how time affects your investments. ___ ___ It took many years to create a portfolio of value. It s been frustrating to see that value fall so quickly. But we re reminded of a Gordon Gekko quote from the movie Wall Street: Don t get emotional about stocks. It clouds the judgment. Yet that s exactly what we tend to do. We get emotional and do the opposite of what we should do. We should buy low and sell high. We buy high on exuberance and sell low in a panic. The smart money does just the opposite. It buys low in the panic and sells high on exuberance. A look back at the Dow We ran some calculations to see if there is a benefit to buying and holding for a period of time. We specifically looked at the Dow Jones Industrial Average because it s the basket of stocks with the longest history. Going all the way back to 1896, we assumed we bought the Dow on the last day of every year right before the close. We looked at every period up to December 31, 2007. Then we looked at holding periods of: 1 year 2 years 3 years 5 years 10 years We looked at two specific things for each holding period: our return and our chance of losing money. Risk and return results We found that the longer we held the Dow stocks, the better our return with one exception the average 3-year return was lower than the average 2-year return. Even more interesting, we found that the longer we held, the less likely we were to lose money: In one year increments, we had a one in three chance of losing money. Over five year time frames, we had a one in four chance of a decline in the value. Of the ten year periods, we only lost money in one out of five cases. Then we looked a little deeper to the size of the volatility. The range of highs and lows went down over time, so the downside was as follows: About 14% for the 1-year increments About 2.75% if we invest over 5-years 0.55% for the 10-year ranges So based on these historical numbers, the longer you hold your portfolio, the less likely you are to lose money and, if you do, the less you are likely to lose. Just remember the past doesn t necessarily predict the future. However, it s not unreasonable to use it as a guide. Beyond the Dow You ll most likely invest in a bigger basket than the Dow. You ll also probably want to invest in more than just U.S. stocks. You ll also almost certainly invest in bonds and other assets. As a general rule, the more diversified you are, the more likely longer time periods will work in your favor even beyond what we ve shown here. You, CIO Here s something we can t possibly emphasize enough no one will look after your money like you will. You are the Chief Investment Officer for you and your family. So it s important to understand investing basics. DIY doesn t work Having said that, do-it-yourself investing doesn t work well for most of us. So plan to outsource and inspect. Your most critical decision, then, is the hiring decision. You re not trying to figure out specific stocks to buy, how to allocate your assets among stocks, and those kinds of decisions. Turning to professionals With full knowledge of investing basics, you re ready to work with a certified financial planner to help you plan your retirement portfolio. You re also ready to invest in mutual funds with proven managers. Time is money in the bank As we saw with the Dow, time is money in your account. So keep investing month after month or paycheck after paycheck. In times like these, you ll get a sweet deal. The smart money is getting it too! You re buying low so you can sell high later. That puts time on your side! ___ Get the tips and tools you need to be a BIGG success! Subscribe to the Bigg Success Weekly it s FREE! ___ Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes.

We usually talk about money on Mondays. As we discussed possible topics for today s post, we realized there was no bigger issue than what s going on in Washington and Wall Street. Our apologies to our international listeners, but we re going to be domestic today. But as we ve seen, it obviously affects everyone worldwide. ___ ___ We usually don t talk about politics. We won t be partisan; there s plenty of blame to go around. We know that we may upset everybody today; that s not our intention. We think it s time to look at the facts so we can make the right decisions here in a few weeks who are we going to hire? Not just for President, but for government at all levels. It s time that we, the people, take back our country, our states, and our cities. We re sick and tired of the blame game and passing the buck on personal responsibility. Leadership is about taking responsibility. The leaders of our biggest companies aren t taking responsibility, but even more sad, our elected officials aren t bearing it, or requiring it, either. We, the taxpayers, invested $85 billion in AIG. What was AIG s response? They threw a $440,000 party . Sure they called it a planning meeting or an executive session . But how can you justify spending that kind of money for a retreat when you re using our money and you ve been on the brink of financial collapse? It was a complete slap in the face and our leaders should have seen it as such. But what did they do? Turn around and give AIG another $38 billion two weeks later! How many of us could walk into a bank two weeks after we borrowed a bunch of money in desperation and get more? How successful would we be at getting more money if we so grossly underestimated how much it would take the first time around? Oh, and by the way, Mr. Banker, we know you ve heard that we wasted some of it on a spa getaway, but we need about half as much again as we borrowed the first time. Will you lend it to us? Can you imagine the response? Fortunately, AIG scrapped plans for another party after news got out about the first one. Of course, we ve also learned that they tinkered with the idea of spending some of our money running an advertising campaign to apologize for the first party . Some insight into the mismanagement Warren Buffett was interviewed by CNBC s Becky Quick back in August. Part of the conversation turned to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We ll paraphrase Congress set up the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) back in 1992. The sole job of this agency was to evaluate the soundness, accounting practices, and the like of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Two companies that s all OFHEO had to oversee. Buffet, of course, notes that he does more than that all by himself. It took 200 OFHEO employees and a $65 million dollar a year budget to do that. Year after year, OFHEO reported to Congress. They stated that the accounting was sound. The directors were great. Everything was just fine. There was nothing to worry about. Well, we all know what happened two of the greatest accounting misstatements in the history of the stock exchange caused by management misconduct. What was OFHEO s response? A report to Congress blaming the management, the directors, the audit committee. Everybody but themselves. 200 people with a budget of $65 million overseeing just two companies. Yet they assumed no responsibility for this huge blunder. The problem we have is that everybody blames anybody else every time there is a problem. It needs to end now. How to put an end to it The solution may surprise you. It starts and ends with us. We need to take personal responsibility. We made mistakes too. We bought in. We saw government borrowing and living beyond its means, so many of us borrowed and lived beyond ours. From this day forward, that ends. We won t forget this lesson. We will bailout ourselves. We will get back on our feet. We will prosper. We also delegated too much. We voted, but we didn t pay close enough attention to what our elected officials were doing. Well, Mr. or Ms. Politician, you have our attention now. And we re going to keep paying attention. What we can t control Here s what paying closer attention has shown us we see a complete vacuum of leadership. You re not a leader if you don t take responsibility for your mistakes. You re not a leader if you don t solve problems; you only assign blame to others. You re not a leader if you can t tell us where we re at, why we got here, and what we re going to do about it to make tomorrow better than today. We can t personally do much to change the leadership on Wall Street. We can t do much to change who reports our news, because the media missed the boat on this one as well. We can t choose the bureaucrats, like the ones at OFHEO, who oversee key agencies and put policy into action. What we can control We do get to choose who we hire to represent us. We have important decisions to make in a few weeks. Not just for President. Not just for the Senate or the House in Washington, D.C. We get to choose who will represent us at all levels of government. So here s how we put an end to it now. Quit thinking like a Democrat or a Republican. That s another trap they ve led us into and we bought in. No, we will hire the best person for the job. We need to do our homework: What s their record? What have they accomplished? How have they handled their fiduciary duties in the past? The past is the best predictor we have of the future when it comes to human behavior. That s how we would hire anybody else. Why would we hire our elected officials any differently? We have access to the records of our current elected officials. We can know what they ve done. We need to start paying closer attention.

We the people are taking our country back. Go ahead, Mr. or Ms. Politician take that special interest money. But you better be clear about who you serve. We the people. Mr. or Ms. Elected Official, go ahead and listen to your party leaders. Just know that, on Election Day, we won t vote for the person who serves the powers that be. We will vote for the person who serves us. We the people. Combined, we re more powerful than Washington can ever be when we are educated and informed. We will take personal responsibility to learn who best serves our interest, and the interests of our children and grandchildren. We the people are taking back our country. What do you think?

Renee Amoore, CEO of The Amoore Group and author of The Elevator of Achievement: Determination Requires a Choice, joined us on this episode of Small Business Trends radio to share tips on how ordinary women can move up the corporate ladder by shaping their own attitudes about success, prejudice, oppression, equality, business and leadership. Using an elevator as a metaphor, Amoore examines nine levels of personal and professional growth that create stand out leaders and lasting careers among women. They are as follows: The lobby is the central hub of the structure. This is where you center yourself and prepare to take a step into the elevator to advance yourself to the first floor. In the elevator you begin your journey. This is where you look at where you are and define where you would like to be. Determine your destination. Open your voice and incorporate positive self-talk into your workplace. Begin to speak your truths. Define your leadership signature by determining your strengths and modeling your behavior towards your goals. Value people and yourself by spreading a little TLC around the office and onto yourself. Begin to lead others through help, guidance and assistance. Foster women as leaders and begin to build a support network of like-minded individuals. Put all the pieces together and carry it through. One of the biggest challenges for women is to be taken seriously. Believe in yourself - and others will believe in you, too. If you have doubts, others will see them. A positive frame of mind (and a support system of the right people to encourage you) will help you to position yourself for advancement and draw attention from your leaders for your skill and determination. It s important to remember: people are always watching you - and they will treat you as you treat yourself.

And the answer really is folks: they don t work. When you think about almost any economic system that exists today, there is a buyer and a seller. The seller has something the buyer wants and the buyer expects the seller to give him or her a fair price. There is an inherent negotiation that happens whether the negotiation includes price or not is irrelevant. A negotiation about economic value, their physical or service value for economic value. When two parties are involved and there are two things being exchanged, economics is incredibly efficient. The economics of individual transactions are aggregated over a large number of transactions are incredibly efficient. The market in itself is not micro efficient, but it is incredibly efficient in the macro sense. Unfortunately, economists have known for hundreds or years, at least as long as there have been economists anyway, that three way economic systems don t work. When there is a buyer and a seller and some other provider, somebody who provides cash to one or insurance to another, it inherently distorts the market. The two examples that are most easily known, not just in the United States but across the world, are systems like healthcare where there is an insurance provider or perhaps the government or schools where there is a provider and a purchaser that is the family or the student, the citizen. And then there is the government that is involved in regulating in some fashion, [we re] not anti-government regulation inherently, but any economic system, any economist will tell you, any economic system with three parties is inherently unstable. It cannot reach equilibrium. All three parties are incented for different reasons and the incentives don t naturally balance in the negotiation that occurs over the price and the product and service. So be careful, anytime you are involved in internal or external exchange of good and services for some sort of compensation, be aware of any economic system that you are involved in that has three parties. If you are in an economy, if you are in an industry that involves a third party, which would include insurance for the government, there is an inherent uncertainty and inefficiency there. It is not to say that the system doesn t work in some fashion, but it could be a greater efficiency if there were only two parties in the system. Again, I don t mean to be anti government or anti insurance, [we] love the insurance that Mike and I have on our business and in our personal lives and yet insurance inherently distorts economic transactions.
