I've always felt that investing, at least in the United States, is a robotic and almost Socialistic system that we get caught up in. It's a system of promises about the Golden Years and how over time all will work out. But then, once you get there, it turns out that it's terribly flawed and full of holes. Unfortunately, this is the new reality for a whole bunch of would-be retirees that have recently seen their fortunes crumble. The promises that our recent bull market made turned out to be nothing more than terrible lies - and it's the investors that are left to try and pick up the pieces.

The important idea to take from all of it is the fact that this isn't the first time that this has happened. There's a long history of broken promises in this country - and all are typically referred to as "bubbles" once we've moved past them. It should be no mystery that chasing dreams of quick, easy wealth lead to disaster more often than not. MMG Capital believes in steady, controlled, reliable investing that will get you to where you need to go when you need to get there. We preach this constantly to our investors and those who follow our ramblings. But, sometimes it's nice to hear from someone else who feels exactly the same way.
