Blog: How to Prepare for When the European Crisis Hits the Dow

Straight Talk Wealth Radio Host, Bruce Weide exposes why stocks keep growing in the face of bad news, and how to stay safe when the tide turns.

This video has been getting some great feedback from our listeners of Straight Talk Wealth Radio on KRLA.

It is based on and how we expect that it will be the straw that breaks the back of Europe's bailouts and pushes their troubles over to America.

In this video, we wanted to give you a handle for the matter.

Our stock market seems pretty teflon. But consider the insanity of today's headlines. The Wall Street Journal reports "Spanish Crisis Deepens" and at the same time "Blue Chips Jump 156 Points".

Read just past the second headline and you'll see the utter peculiarity: "NEW YORK—U.S. stocks rallied as signs of a worsening U.S. labor market and European debt picture bolstered investors' hopes that central bankers will again come to the rescue."

What this is saying is that we have a stock martket that is addicted to crack. The crack is Federal Stimulus. The Federal Reserve Bank printing more money and giving to the banks, who do not lend it, they simply put it into riskier investments likes stock or commodities, thereby causing further bubbles in those markets.

What does it say about our stock market when bad news drives it UP? Is that the new normal? Is this what you want to plan your future prosperity upon?

And each stimulus has had less and less effect, as do drugs. And eventually there is a price to pay when the addict is told "quit or die from the drugs".

My suggestion is this: If you are savvy investor, and you really know when to get in and when to get out, more power to ya. If you are someone who gets the feeling that Wall Street plays by it's own rules, then you need to step aside. Something awfully weird is going on.

See where Mom and Pop went wrong in the video above.

Thank you so much. I definitely should not have been wearing it... it has been loose for a coupleRead More of years now. I'm hoping that it is on my property otherwise I am at the grace of good honest people... Thank you for your suggestions and I have filed a lost property report and I will definitely call the local pawn shops. Keeping it in perspective and at the end of the day it is just an object, but I'm definitely hoping that it finds its way back.

I can well empathsize with your loss. First thing, can you remember taking it off anywhere? DidRead More you wash your hands anywhere, soap makes fingers slippery. Did it fit well or was it a little loose? Running makes the arms swing. Strange as it may seem, it may still be in or on your own property. There are still honest people, call the desk of every business you went to. Also, call every pawn shop in your area and report. Good luck. If its any comfort, I found a diamond studded tie tack when I gazed at the soil in my garden and saw it. Keep us posted. b

I feel bad that teachers are having to pull money out of their own pockets, I wonder whateverRead More happened to the lottery money that was supposed to go to schools? I am a volunteer for an organization that offers free drug education kits to any teacher with booklets on the various harmful drugs . Educators play a vital role for our children and in society and should be supported in any way possible. Any who might be interested, e-mail me at tbadger2000@yahoo.com.
