My Advice:
Take all your money out of the market. The bubble is gonna come crashing down. Invest your capital directly into people and projects that you yourself have a say and can manage.
There are tens of thousands of small alternative businesses that need investment! Is greed your only motivation for investing? Then obviously you don't belong on this site. If you really care about more than money, then get involved personally, and use your money to help people, not companies. You might not get as much a financial return, but you'll feel way better about yourself.
When I realized that I was supporting the greed driven capitalist system, I took my money out of investments and put it into this website. I've never felt better (and I sleep a lot better, too)!
| Suggested Reading The Art of Peter Max
by Charles A. Riley II, Peter Max
A few years ago I went looking for any kind of Peter Max book, in vain. Now at last here's a great collection. Peter Max, along with Andy Warhol just about invented pop art. Max's brilliant colors, and iconic graphic design had a tremendous influence on commercial art in the 1960s. His psychedelic posters adorned just about every college dorm room, and embodied the spirit of the times.
Now you can relive that period, and Max's later work, some of it focusing on environmental causes. Peter Max has closely held his copyrights, with few chances to even see his work any more. So don't miss this one. A great holiday gift! |
