My love for the market began in 1987 when I first opened a brokerage account with Fidelity Investments. You know what happened back in 87'. "Black Monday", the market crashed. My initial $ went down fast. Thus began my thirst for the challenge to make it in the market. Although I have science background, my Bachelors degree is in Economics from Washington University (great school). I also have earned an MBA in Finance from Fordham University, New York. Although I am registered as an "investment advisor" with the NASD, any information in this blogger is not intended for any business use.

Your Health & Iran

What a beautiful weekend I had.
The weather was perfect in the last few days. I went up the mountain again yesterday. We (group of about 12 people) left at 7am, reached the foot of the mountain (no idea what the name of this particular mountain is) at 8am. It takes about 2-2.5 hours to climb up, have lunch at the top (apples, bananas and other goodies) then we hike down (another 2 hours). The amount of excercise you get is unbelievable. Why hike the mountain? I will tell you.

Did you know that between 8am - 10am all tress and various vegetations release oxygen into the mountain air? Breathing this clean air is obviously good for you. Most of us do not get this kind of air to breath all life. There are basically two ways for your body to clean itself.
1. Urination - Drink a lot (8 cups minimum) of fresh water (I prefer filtered water to bottle water). Make sure you have a water filter system in your home (Culligan offers great value-call them and get one today-I already did most of the homework for you). Your kidney will appreciate this and you will feel significantly better. Please do not try to save about $200 by not getting this - especially if you have a child. Just do it.
2. Breathing - Inhale fresh oxygen & exhale all chemicals and bad gases out of your system. The problem for most people (in New York City and elsewhere) is that you do not have a chance to breath in clean, fresh, oxygenated air. Your body is consist of many (let's just say a lot) cells. These cells carry various toxins and gases which it picked up during the circulation of your body. It has to get rid of this through the filter system in us (kidney, liver and lungs). If you are fortunate enough to live near mountains or seashores, try to visit it often. All the money and fortune we try hard to get everyday means nothing if your body fails to work properly.
Trust me, health comes way (long way) before money and your job. Remember this.

Business: Look at the big picture. Step back and look at the forest not the trees. What do I see? We are in a major bull market. Like any other bull markets, we will have our share of occasional dips. These dips last a few weeks to a few months. I fully expect this to be the case in coming months. But until then, we are in a bull market. As long as this is the case, it is more risky not to be in the market than participating in it. When the time comes, we will play more defensively. For now though, we will be offensive. Full attack mode.

Iran is playing with the U.N. & the U.S.
If this continues, we all have to pay for it. Oil is still going up. Iran wants nuclear weapon. This is why I said we all have to have an insurance by having oil related investments in our portfolios. Regardless of Iran situation, oil related business is booming. In our porfolio, we now have two oil plays; OIH and MVK. Let's see how this plays out. Good luck next week!
