What are we going to talk about today? A Chinese collector won the bidding but will not pay up in protest or here in America, we have nationalized the financial system. I guess sometime the world goes to a direction we had never imagined. Some time when people are so desperate about money, power, and other desires, we are forgetting what is important for us?
Last night I was talking to a friend what make people becoming a great investor and how to be a great investor. While talking to him, I realized that I may never become a great investor. He told me a book called Currency War (Chinese name called货币战争) I don't think it has an English name so I just call it Currency War. (CW). I really don't know why this book can be so popular in China. I know nothing about the author Song Hong Bing but I do know the book like CW in America is anywhere about how Jews run the nation’s financial institutions and the rise of the Rothschilds and international banking. Okay, here is some of facts about Jews, during the past 200 years Jews have had upon the world with remarkable impact but here is a ‘but’ but even with those remarkable impact Western public never hears about the influence of the Jews upon their cultures. Public uses the word such as ‘leftist’ or ‘socialist’ to describe Jewish social activists in the West without realized how much influences they bring to the world--- and especially upon the West fiscal and political, even cultural. Second fact is they are NOT terrified!! Jews are not, Rothschilds are not, capitalism is not.
I don't want to talk about CW here because currency field is a war field and you are in it since the first day you were born but I do want to talk about what and how to becoming a great investor. I personal believe a great investor has his or her own eye. What it mean by our own eye? It is your own investment philosophy. I’ve come to believe the most important investment decision you can make is deciding what your investment philosophy is. Okay, here are some of my suggestions. First one, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, his book the Science of Logic, one of the greatest investment books we had ever written in the mankind history and also the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences, a summary of his entire philosophical system. Second, Bertrand Russell, I think you all know Russell’s what I have lived for but not just enjoy his infinite literature but his idealism his ideas about what is right and wrong and the analytic philosophy.
After you have established your investment philosophy, than let’s talk about your investment strategy, and your investment style. I am sorry there is nothing I am going to talk you about. Company stock, bond funds, mutual funds, futures, different people have different interests. Should you invest an index fund, or should you buy gold? Do you prefer certificates of deposit (CD) or do you like currency speculation? (Some time speculation is pretty much the same with invest but ever put them together)
Above all, don’t believe anything that is not come from your brain. (Okay, if you are a fool, this advice doesn’t count.)
Okay, next time I will talk about what makes you never be a great investor.
今天我们要讨论什么呢？ 一个中国收藏家在法国赢了拍卖但是拒绝付款作为抗议或者是在美国逐步的国有化自己的金融体制。我想有时候世界正在向人们从未想象过的方向发展着。有时候，人们盲目的追逐着金钱，权利，和其他欲望的时候，却忘记了什么是对我们真正重要的。
昨晚，我和一个朋友讨论什么使人变成一个伟大的投资家以及人们怎么样成为一个伟大的投资家。和他交流中，我发现我也许永远没有办法成为一个伟大的投资家。 他告诉我一本书 ， 货币战争， 我不知道他有英文名字， 就叫它， Currency War， 我只是真的不明白为什么这本书变的那么的流行在中国。我对书的作者，宋鸿兵一无所知, 但是我知道书像货币战争这样讲述关于犹太人是怎么样控制美国的国家金融系统（货币发行权）和罗士柴尔德家族的崛起在美国随处可见。但是这里有2个， 第一个事实是在过去的200年里，犹太人在西方世界中做出了非凡的成就，但是即使就是这些非凡的影响，在西方主流社会还是很难听到关于犹太人的文化和故事。媒体只是用左翼和社会主义形容犹太社会活动家。西方社会没有深入的了解自己被犹太人改变了多少，—尤其是在他们在西方的金融的，政治的和文化的改变。第2， 他们不是可怕！ 犹太人不可怕的，罗士柴尔德家族也不可怕，资本主义也不！ （我会在下一次文章中谈，为什么他们不是像货币战争中说的那样。 BTW，我个人感觉货币战争像是一个学术的八卦杂志）
我并不想过多的讨论货币战争，因为人一出生就已经被卷入到这场关于货币的战争中了。但是我确实想讨论一下怎么样成为一个伟大的投资家。个人认为，一个好的投资家需要拥有他自己独特的视角。什么叫独特的视角呢 ？他就是你自己的投资哲学。我开始相信最重要的投资决策是决定你的投资哲学是什么。好，下面是我关于怎样建立正确的投资哲学的一些建议。第一，Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel，格奥尔格·威廉·弗里德里希·黑格尔，他的《逻辑学》，我认为是至今为止人类历史上最伟大的投资书还有是就是他的《哲学全书》他的整个哲学系统的总结。第2， 我认为是Bertrand Russell伯特兰·阿瑟·威廉·罗素，我想大家都应该知道罗素的为什么而活吧，但是不要只是欣赏他的美丽的文字，但是还有他的思想，他的理念，关于什么是对什么是错还有就是他的分析哲学。
当你确定自己的投资哲学之后，然后开始考虑你的投资策略和投资风格。但是对不起，关于这个我没有任何建议。不同人喜欢不同的金融产品，公司股票，债券基金，多重基金，期货。是应该投资指数基金呢，还是去买黄金呢？是喜欢定期存款呢还是货币投机呢？（有一些时候，投机是和投资很相像呢，但是永远不要把他们混为一谈。）
总之，不要去相信任何不是从你脑子里出来的想法（don’t believe anything that is not come from your brain）。
