The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.
–Andrew Carnegie.

News Flash! The Stock market has gotten killed and you have no control over it! But don’t sweat it! Because I have a tip that is going to bring your portfolio back from the dead. And this stock is a sure bet, can consistently beat analyst’s expectations, and if played correctly, can help you secure the retirement home of your dreams. So grab your pen and paper, look behind you to make sure nobody is looking and get ready. The stock symbol is…Y-O-U. That’s right…Y-O-U. And that stock is recession proof. Because unlike the battered blue chips, Y-O-U’s value to its customers and shareholders is directly proportionate to these three fundamentals in its business:

1. Positive Attitude and Enthusiasm- Too many people are using a down economy to work less and complain more. Y-O-U on the other hand, is buying into a more positive and upbeat attitude while others are selling out to fear and negativity. To keep Y-O-U’s stock positive, keep your attitude positive.

2. Product, Industry and Competitive Knowledge- To remain a valuable stock, Y-O-U understands the importance of being able to provide more value to its customers than the competition. So when things get a little “slow,” Y-O-U turns “extra” time into “learning” time.

3. Repeatable, Measurable and Sustainable Skills-Great professional athletes, actors and salespeople believe in preparation and process. Knowing what specific repeatable actions to do on game day creates confidence as well as an opportunity to learn by evaluating the specifics of each performance. Y-O-U understands that success does not come by accident and that constant tweaking and improvement drives the stock price higher everyday.

So this week, forget that your 401k has turned into a 201k. Balance that portfolio by investing in Y-O-U and when the stock market gets back to 14,000, YOU will already be famous in your company, region and industry. See you at the TOP!
