« Fixed Income Fund Ideas Inflation Not Any Near-Term Imminent Threat »

Sitting here listening to CNBC while working, I heard that economist Nouriel Roubini, appointed by that network as “Dr. Doom,” was going to be a guest host for two hours beginning at 7 a.m.  The tease suggested that he was changing his stripes a bit, becoming more optimistic regarding the economy.  I immediately thought that the economy as well as the financial markets are not a still photograph that can be taken from one’s pocket from time-to-time, never changing, but rather a motion picture that evolves. 

We always keep this in mind when investing.  Always reassess your holdings.  Constantly reassess your views regarding the economy.  Finally, never back yourself into a corner regarding an economic outlook or a particular investment.  Always be willing to change your opinion when the situation changes.
