What really is the market

The markets are as old as human existence itself. When Eve gave Adam that first apple, that was the first trade in the markets. What Adam recieved in return from Eve we will really never know!

People wonder now is investing in the markets worthwhile. Will the markets continue to go up? What if they go down for the next 5 years, 10 years or longer? Do we know what will happen in the future?

We don't know what will happen tomorrow, but we have a pretty clear picture of what will happen in the long term. As long as man continues to develop, as long as trade continues to expand, as long as new developments occur, new inventions, new discoveries, the markets will keep rising.

Why - because that is nature. If we can create more, become better at what we do, we will trade others for what they do, and that trade is in essence the markets.

And another reason why - because it has too! I am frightened at the thought of the markets not moving forward. If we had 5 or 10 or 20 years of flat or declining markets, we would have more troubles than just losing a little savings.

So have confidence in man, in trade, in growth.

Have confidence in the markets!
