This is NOT a political article. Whether you like Obama or not, whether you voted for Obama or not, there is a lesson to be learned. Please note that this is NOT a children’s story. Whether you believe in Superman or not, there is a lesson to be learned.

Please note that this is not an introduction to the stock market. Whether you invest in the stock market or not, there is a lesson to be learned.

Let’s start with Warren Buffett There is at least ONE idea that he shares with the greatest investor of all time.

Let’s look at this UNIQUE idea he shares: BUY LOW SELL HIGH.

When times are dire, Warren Buffett buys. It doesn’t just SAY “Buy low, sell high”, it DOES it.

You KNOW “Buy Low, Sell High”, the purpose of this article is to make you see if you BELIEVE it and if you are prepared to DO something about it.

Prices are LOW only when there is a problem. Smart investors look at low prices and decide:

• feel good; Y
• invest at wonderfully low prices.

People who are just freaked out by the headlines and freak out:

• feel bad; Y
• see only the problem not the low prices.

So what do you and Warren Buffett have in common? Both you and he know the rule: “Buy low, sell high.” Warren Buffet invests when prices are low. Will you follow his lead and be happy now that prices are low or will you just see the problem and freak out?

Maybe you’ve already been scared. Well let me confess that I too freaked out and didn’t know what to do for a brief time in September 2008 when the markets started crashing. But I quickly remembered what I already knew and what Warren Buffett is a model for: buy low, sell high.

I am not asking you to necessarily buy stocks, mutual funds, real estate, etc. right now. But I’m sure I’m asking you to feel GREAT because the economy is poised to grow spectacularly from these current depths. NOW is the time to feel good. NOW is the time to prepare for great investment deals. NOW is when the greatest opportunities arise.

Now let’s look at Obama and Superman Obama is not Superman. Don’t waste time waiting for it to fly to save you. Some think that Obama will be a great president; others think he will fail. Some think Obama has sound financial ideas; Others don’t. Anyway, he is the president and he will do what he does.

That is the point. He will do what he does and he will NOT fly to your house to save you. There is only one person who has that job: YOU.

Obama feels that YOU are Superman, certainly not himself. He knows that he is not Superman. But, one wonderful aspect of Obama’s character is that he definitely knows that YOU are the one who can save yourself. You are the one who can overcome your current situation. You are the one who can learn your lessons and become greater than you currently are.

One of my favorite Obama quotes is: CHANGE DOESN’T COME FROM WASHINGTON, CHANGE COMES TO WASHINGTON. Metaphorically, it means that only YOU can change yourself, the nation and the world. Start with yourself.

How can you begin to become your own Superman, your own Warren Buffett? It is your job not only to KNOW the slogan “buy low sell high”; rather it is his job now to DO “buy low sell high”. See what GOOD investments are absurdly low right now and then grab them instead of being scared like everyone else.
