Question sent to Martha Stokes, CMT in LinkedIn.com May 2013
"I wanted to ask a question. I have spoken to numerous of people about the markets some say it's an exciting some say it's awful I was wondering what is your outlook on the market. The reason I am writing this is because a person who has been in the business for 27 years told me to stick with my current job because this business is awful. I was wondering, what is your outlook on the market." William M.
Answer sent from Martha Stokes, CMT and TechniTrader(R) CEO
Whenever you get two diametrically opposing answers to the same question, you must realize that these people are having completely different experiences. One person is making money and is successful while the other is struggling, probably due to the new regulations and huge changes that are going on in whatever financial industry he specializes in, so his viewpoint is based on his personal experiences right now. By your term "market" I might assume the Stock Market, but your acquaintances might be referring to the Bond Market, Commodity Market, Futures, Market, Options Market, Mutual Funds, Annuities, Real Estate Market as in REITs, Credit Market, or Derivative Markets.
There is not just one "market" but many markets that all fall under the industry we call The Financial Industry." This vast industry is enormous and is the future of our economy. Is the market awful? It is only awful when someone is losing money, if someone is making money then it is exciting, wonderful, amazing, easy, and fun.
What is the future of the financial markets?
Well, rather staggering in proportions. The Cloud technology that is dominated by the US is creating a whole new opportunity for investors and traders, both professional and retail and you are retail by the way. But it is also creating huge displacement technologies. Displacement technology obsoletes older technology and replaces it with a brand new technology that is better, faster, more efficient, and more appealing to the consumer. Think of how far smart phones have taken us all from the old home phones that were in every home a few years ago. So right now the financial markets are undergoing colossal changes and that can have a serious negative impact on someone who has been in an industry for many years and is reluctant to change or hates the changes.
There are 2 things necessary to create a strong long term Bull Market that will create enormous prosperity for more than a decade:
1. An influx of new money into the financial markets.
2. A brand new displacement technology.
In the mid 80's when the last Great Bull Market Started which ended in 2000 with the tech bubble collapse, everyone felt that the US was on its last leg, that we had nothing to bring back prosperity, that scandals had ruined the markets. But the new displacement technologies of that day were already creating the early signs of a Bull Market.
We are at that same juncture right now. We are seeing massive changes as displacement technology obsoletes technologies used in the financial markets of years past. We are seeing a major upheaval of outdate methodologies, old style strategies, and poor portfolio diversification theories.
What is coming is far more massive in terms of change than what was seen in the 1990's. But what we are also seeing is a return to common sense, more regulations, more rules, more constraints and more sophisticated outside risk management analysis.
There is also a huge surge of new investors and new retail traders coming into the market which we have not seen in 20 years. If a person understands the markets, what changes are occurring, and how they will affect their investments or their trading, then they will enjoy wonderful opportunities that come only once or twice in a life time as these cycles are long and extensive in scope.
If you do not understand what is going on, are resistive to change, disagreeable about the constraints, regulations and rules that are now in place to make sure that speculation by the sell side institutions aka banks and other enterprises is under control and that banks cannot create another debacle, then you will perceive this time as simply awful and that everything is going to go down from here.
This is the beginning of a new era. What is coming most people won't even realize is changing their lives, and at some point most investors and traders will look back longingly, like they do now at the late 80's and 1990's as if that era was pure and without problems or struggles. It wasn't, and most investors got in very late. It wasn't until 1998 when most retail investors and traders got serious about the stock market, just as the Greatest Bull Market was moving to market saturation and inevitable collapse.
So you have a choice, believe the individual who is negative and stay away from the markets only to kick yourself 10 years from now, or embrace the changes as an opportunity. No matter what is going on in our economy, there are always opportunities in the stock market and other financial markets. It is a matter of being educated so that you can recognize what is an opportunity and what is not.
We are becoming an investing based economy where most of the wealth will be in the hands of those who are wise enough, savvy enough, and educated sufficiently to know how, when, and where to trade and invest.
Those who do not learn about the financial markets will be left behind, will struggle for financial security, and will find themselves constantly worrying about their future.
Exciting or awful is merely a point of view.
Trade wisely,
