If you had left your money in the stock market or invested at the time of the great recession four or five years ago, it would be worth more than 150% of that amount today. I had said last year that the market would likely hit 14,000 this year, and I was wrong: it’s hitting 15,000.
All those people paid to find the worst possible news, and those who wanted to profit through fear, will be back, of course. They’ll say this isn’t “real” and that disaster looms, despite the fact that joblessness is down, manufacturing up, housing up, and a dozen other positive indicators. (Watch for “comments” after I publish this!)
And this is DESPITE an executive and legislative branch that are stubborn, ineffective, and in deadlock over “sequester”: Which we were told would result in a “fiscal cliff.” Imagine if they ever take their hands off the brakes? (Don’t hold your breath. Since the terrible Newtown shooting tragedy, they have been unable to pass a single gun law.)
For those of us in professional services, there is wonderful potential for growth and wealth. (And I am sensitive to the fact that many who worked in organizational America are still trying to recover and have been harmed long term.) We take the risks of working on our own without a net, and we deserve to reap the reward of providing value to our clients. We don’t rely on an ineffective, partisan government, but on our own abilities and value.
I’m launching Alan Weiss’s Common Sense® Worldview in June, where I’ll discuss issues such as this one, education, globalization, technology, debt, opportunities, and so forth. You can find sample videos below, as well as registration, with one-third discount until May 15. The total comes to a few dollars a week to hear insights that are largely positive, oriented toward your growth, and entertaining. I hope you’ll join me as good times become better.

Friends, what if I told you that the future of the automobile in our car-culture country is with the internal combustion engine? What if I told you that electric cars (or wind-powered energy) will remain a very minor, veritable novelty act?
The US is going to establish total energy independence in the next decade, due to:
• Discovery of increasing oil sources on both land and at sea
• Advanced technology to capture what was previously not obtainable
• Greater and greater mileage efficiency of car fleets
• Increased taxation of “gas guzzlers” and gasoline
• Lower emissions acquired through advances in engine technology
What if we need to understand and prepare for that future, and not one of predominantly solar, or turbine, or wind, or electric, or hydrogen power? How much money, energy, and political capital are we wasting today on what won’t be used or needed?
The US will be a net exporter of petroleum, which will change the geopolitical landscape. The Gulf of Hormuz becomes unimportant, the prices will plummet in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, and Iran. I’d suspect that there will be a revolution in Saudi Arabia, with the very narrow and disliked royal family overthrown, and that other governments may radically change.
Perhaps it sounds like a novel to you, but what if we’re inured to the wrong future, the wrong warnings, the wrong possibilities, the wrong opportunities?
Sign up for Alan Weiss’s Common Sense™ World View video series. It’s only a couple of bucks a week, and produces more energy than it consumes! We start in June. You can find it here:

I recently ran a free day of development for consultants which required only a $50 contribution to the East Greenwich Animal Protection League. We sold out, and I’m presenting the check here to Karen Kalunian of the EGAPL, along with Bentley, the 2013 sponsor of the annual Hound Hike, taking over from Koufax.
