Haiku for Investors

[OldAIMGuy]

March, 2011..........

Markets struggle up
in an attempt to escape
the News Tsunami

Prognostication
has been reduced to slapstick
lowbrow comedy

When nothing is known
speculation can run wild
with no knowledge gain

May, 2011...........

"Buy Gold and Silver!"
the television ads say.
But, when should we sell?

Having the target
in sight improves our AIMing.
But good Arrows help.

August, 2011

Summertime should be
for picnics and vacation.
Not a tough three months.

Fund prices teased us
January through August.
Then buying started.

All Sectors dropping
except Consumer Staples.
We still buy those things.

May, 2012..........

Europe's stomach churns
while investors turn away.
Where will they go next?

September, 2012..........

Election Time comes
once every four years, but Change
is hard to perceive.
