Contain the Truth to Build a Valuable Stock and Investment Portfolio

'Dog eat dog' works best in stock investment and retirement financial planning. It is wrong to pour blame on Dick Cheney alone for his Halliburton shenanigans. Most of Washington and Wall Street do the same things when it comes to personal financial worth over the interests of the rest of us.

Private enterprise in the financial world is mostly about how to contain the truth. Both buyer and seller of stock or any security cannot be right: one party to every stock market transaction, with notable exceptions of exchanges, analysts, and brokers, has got the numbers wrong. It is either time to buy or to sell, it cannot be both.

'Join 'em if you cannot beat 'em' is not just a hackneyed adage. Either work the system to your benefit, or lie back and get victimized. This is the essential difference between Lehmann and AIG.

I envy those who are close to the administration. They can take all the risks they like, and use public funds and unlimited budgetary deficits for bail-outs. The rest of us have to work diligently and daily to built financial portfolios to see dependants through lives in retirement.

Do your financial advisers and the sources of information on which you depend 'contain the truth'.
