Just wait for the next train.

If I were in a position in which I had a great deal of free capital right now, I would not try to chase the speeding train that has already left the station called Mr. Dow Jones.

I would not worry on missed trains. I would still stay in the station, nurse a nice cognac, have a nice Cuban cigar, watch the girls go by and wait.

There is always another train called the Dow Jones coming around the circuit once again, there is always another nice cognac, another Cuban cigar, another horse race, another girl.

People write me to ask:

“Having missed the train of Mr. Dow and Jones, what now to do?

After all, the newsgirls say, and very breathlessly too:

Oh, MY!! the markets keep going up..everybody on the train of Mr. Dow Jones is getting so:

RICH

In the stocks exchanges!!

Just look at them go up!! leaving me to ask, how do I get my little bit of heaven?”

The market, as a general place, may continue to go up, even very much up. The investment planning questions of the past two years and now more so are:

If you are really not now invested in the run up, where do you get the capital to get in, how much will it cost to get that capital and do you really want your buy in price to be at these current, very high, price levels?

My thought is:

Yes, the markets have been going up, now almost 5 years going..but what particular equities or other instruments do you now want to buy and at how dear a price?

Have you considered the tax implications on what instruments you have to draw down in order to get capital?

How much of a price to premium do you anticipate getting for your return on investment?

After what you liquidate of your current holdings and pay the taxes and other fees that are due once you sell off your IRA or 401k or another instrument to get cash to chase the speeding train of Mr Dow Jones and have paid a very high price to premium to buy the equities or other instruments you want to buy on Mr Dow Jones’ train, how much money do you expect to get in net return on your investment, all these things considered?

You may say to me:

“Hey, wait a minute, son!!

Everybody else is getting rich today, where is my little bit of heaven?”

I say to you:

“Heaven does not have to wait, but if you are not rich and want to be rich, you must have a, very specific, plan about precisely what you want to buy, not merely listen to giddy newsgirls, reading news releases, about the collective generalities on board the golden train of Mr Dow Jones.

When you say you want to get RICH in the stock exchanges the first question I have to ask you is:

“Do you know anything about money, how it works, its relationship to credit, why it is ever true that, as we said when I was a boy:

“If you really want to see a RICH man, do not look at what he has..look at what he OWES.

More so than anything else, access to credit is what defines RICH.

If a man has access to credit, he doesn’t need much of what was in my day called “folding money,” at all.

If you do not understand that very basic dictum, don’t go to college and, please Jesus..do not chase Mr. Dow Jones’ Choo-Choo trains until you have figured out WHY having large debts is more the evidence of who is RICH than is having large capital accumulated.

It is not what a man has…it is what he owes that most counts.

When we just miss a train and see it pull out of the station, we are annoyed, but we know that running to try to catch it is foolhardy.

Wait for the next train.

Finis Origine Pendet…
The escape commences…

~~

September, 1957

~~

Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic parochial school, called, by anyone of any background, simply: “Chan~al,” a place where, of an autumn day in 1957, school, for me, began and ended in the first convening of the first grade in which a tiny nun, one Sister Dom Bosco, appeared before me, just behind the window appearing at far left of this photograph, and piped out this: “I may be small, but so then, is the Atom Bomb.”

~~

My determination to escape school commenced immediately on hearing about this Atom Bomb business and took 16 dicey and arduous years to finally accomplish.~~

~~

Non Sibi

The escape continues…

"Jean-Marie Le Pen is a friend. He is dangerous for the political set because he's the only one who's sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own."~~
