Four years ago I retired as Logistics Manager from Minera Barrick Misquichilca. Over my ten years with Barrick I had participated in the growth fueled by the very low cost Peruvian mines of Pierina and Lagunas Norte. As I watched President Obama being sworn in for his first term, I thought to myself, "when a new manager comes to Barrick for example, things change."
On the bottom of the TV screen was a market flash alert - DOW down 200 points. About 10 months before I had moved my IRA to cash and had subsequently missed the stock market crash of late 2008. Based on the "things change with a new manager" theory, I invested 30% of the IRA back in the same Fidelity Growth America fund I had contributed to monthly for almost ten years. Every two weeks I invested another 30% and by March I was 100% invested in $FDGRX. Only now I had three times as many shares as I had had just one year earlier. The rest is history.
Today it is easy to look back four years ago, and see that it was a different situation back then. President Obama, his administration, and Ben Bernanke have done an incredible job restoring the economy and resolving terrorist threats. During President Obama's last two years I invested in Apple. Change happened and my IRA/401K has benefited greatly.
Which will be the most profitable investments at the start of President Obama's second term?
