RUSH: I don\u2019t know why people ask me, but they ask, ‘What should I do in the market? What shouldn\u2019t I do?\u2019 I counsel patience. The fundamentals here are fine. But look at this. I was looking at U.S. Snooze and World Reports, the issue dated August 6, 2007, and on the cover of that issue is this blurb: ‘If you had invested $1000 with Warren Buffett at 1956, it would have grown to 27 million\u2019 today. Fifty years, a virtual lifetime of employment, $1,000 to $27 million. That\u2019s 27 thousand times your investment! ‘But, Rush! But, Rush! What\u2019s the point? I\u2019m not Warren Buffett. What are you talking about?\u2019 Forget Warren Buffett here, folks. Warren Buffett isn\u2019t the point. Look at the lesson of the words: 50 years. That covers a lot. Look at how many market corrections there have been. <\/p>\n

Do you know what a ‘market correction\u2019 is, Snerdley? A market correction is defined as a market going down 10%. If the market goes down 10%, then the experts up there say, ‘We\u2019ve had a correction.\u2019 We\u2019ve had lots of corrections in 50 years. We\u2019ve gone up. We\u2019ve gone down. We\u2019ve had crashes In the \u201987 crash everybody panicked left and right. We\u2019ve had the Jimmy Carter years. — and we\u2019ve gone sky high too. The point is in 50 years, if you start investing in things and leave it alone and be patient, in 50 years a thousand dollars with Warren Buffett today would be worth $27 million. There have been some pretty real panics in those 50 years, and there have been some some imagined panics. I know you\u2019re still saying, ‘But, Rush! But, Rush! I\u2019m not Warren Buffett.\u2019 I know that. Lesson Two: Warren Buffett is smart, but don\u2019t think he\u2019s a soothsayer. Don\u2019t think he leaves the market before it tops and reinvests before it hits bottom. Nobody can predict what\u2019s going to happen when. He makes investments in good companies; he accepts the downs of corrections and bear markets over the long hall. His methods are not secret. Anybody can learn them. ‘Do you mean, Rush, I can make 27 thousand times my money?\u2019 <\/p>\n

No, no, no. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying here, folks. I wanted to use that example because it was on US News, but you could be one tenth as good, or one hundreth as good. Remember, you\u2019re not starting with just a single $1,000. That\u2019s just an example. Try a thousand dollars a year that you invest or try a $1,000 a month, whatever you have, and then add it up over 50 years. This takes us to lesson four — and this is the real point about all this. Just think if your Social Security withholdings were invested for those 50 years, not just the thousand dollars. Even half of your quote-unquote ‘contributions,\u2019 the FICA on your pay stub, imagine that\u2019s invested and you leave it alone from the minute you start working until the day you retire. Yep, the market is going to go up and down. It\u2019s going to have corrections. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s going to be bear markets. There\u2019s going to be imagined and predicted crashes, just like there have been always. You can take any 50-year period of the stock market, and you\u2019re going to find those same ups and downs, but over those 50 years — whenever you start and whenever you end — you\u2019re going to find the market way up over when it started at the beginning of the 50 years. So this Social Security business when they tried to reform it, the president wanted to reform it and let people invest a portion of it, you have a market like today and the Democrats say, ‘Oh, noooo! Everybody\u2019s going to lose everything they\u2019ve got,\u2019 and of course inexperienced people say, ‘Oh, yeah! I am going to lose everything.\u2019 No, you\u2019re not going to lose it. You just leave it alone, and you don\u2019t panic. <\/p>\n

Now if you\u2019re looking for signs, yesterdays volume on the stock market was lower than the day of the last big drop ten days ago. That\u2019s an encouraging tealeaf — and the FED, twice today they\u2019ve pumped a lot of money into the liquidity market and it is causing the market to come back a little bit. It is rallying a little bit from when it just started tumbling again when it opened. But patience, patience, patience! Take any 50 year period, start to end, and you\u2019ll find a market way up over where it began. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
