The Best Thing You Can Do TODAY With $50!

After the freefall of our financial markets last week it’d be easy to justify taking every last cent you can get your hands on—in cash—and stuffing it into your mattress.

Whether you’re heavily invested or not, you felt the ground fall out from under. Yet, as harsh as it’s been your biggest hit may not have been in your pocket, but between your ears, confidence shaken.

Things are going to get better. Chances are we won’t see the 14,000 point highs any time soon, but the market will rebound and this will lift our spirits.

For many this will be enough but they’re missing a rare opportunity.

My suggestion (noting I’m anything but a financial adviser) is to get back up and in the game.  Take $50 and put it in the market.

This is no time to stand on the sidelines. This is your chance to immediately replace the negative, disempowering, body-level memory of the plunge with an empowering one. Why not break-free from the fear and “herd mentality” that’s been driving the market down and make a statement of confidence and belief.

Why just $50?

Clearly, you’re free to add as many zeros to end of that 50 as you like. But this isn’t a get rich scheme, it’s about making a statement. If you choose to be courageous, to make a statement of confidence in our country—even with the small about of $50—the benefits to you can be enormous.

Fact is you couldn’t stop the market freefall but when it begins its rebound—even a mild one—if you’ve made a move of support you’ll feel more than the sigh of relief that millions of others will feel. You’ll be involved and thus get many more benefits—by having helped you’ll be empowering others and thus be empowered.

It’s the difference between being a spectator when your team wins a Super Bowl or being the ball-boy to the team. One feels really good but it’s about “them,” as much as we like to call it "our te On the other hand, the ball-boy is part of it. It’s his world championship too.

One feels good—the other is great.

Don’t just sit on the sidelines and watch. Slam $50 in the market with confidence, with intention, with faith, with courage.

Get in the game. "Be-the-ball-boy."

Americans could really use your vote of confidence and $50 bucks too.

Well, I was going to buy an extra box of FS this month but if you insist, I'll spend it in the markets :)
