OCTOBER: is proving to be one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks in. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February.  Mark Twain cautioned us that speculation is akin to religion and politics, where people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.

Of course, nothing could be more soothing for the soul and the mind during these turbulent times than a trip to the Southwest Inn to reconnect to reality and sanity!!

Daily Quote: “The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.” - James A. Michener

Saturday, October 18-”What a week” !!

After a week like this one, it is no wonder why so many of our guests are coming to the Southwest Inn, just to get away from “it” all, to take a break and reconnect with reality. One week ago, on Friday-our own Tayrn Crispo correctly predicted that the Sedona Halloween weekend would become a huge event, which was a bold statement when you consider the stock market was crashing. But, then on the heels of a record number of reservations, we began purchasing our favorite stocks: Apple, which runs our lobby “info-net”; and, Google, who loves our website. Monday followed with the largest gains in the history of the stock market, only to be followed by incredible up and down volatile swings.

Early in the week, a New York State Tax Court held that a retired lawyer could not deduct from his taxes $322,000 spent on prostitutes, pornography, and sex toys. William Halby, 77, told the court that he used “sex therapy” to help battle the depression of the economy, and that in his opinion the expenditures qualified as legitimate medical expenses. Judge Brian Friedman, unsympathetically noted that prostitution in New York is not only unrecognized as a medical necessity, but that it is against the law!

Later in the week, Bloomberg’s Ann Woolner unraveled the new bankruptcy laws by stating, “it’s easier to hold onto a second home at the beach–and a boat to go with it–than your home sweet home.” Ms. Woolner’s advice: “Buy a Beach House for Shelter When Going Bankrupt”.

Finally, on Friday, Warren Buffett informed the world in a New York Times editorial that he was buying American stocks. Stating, “A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors”.

Our Advice: come up, or down to the Southwest Inn at Sedona, and take a hike out to a rock, clear your head, and reconnect to the reality that surrounds us all !!
