Preface to all KYS posts: Until Tuesday (CPI) and Wednesday (FOMC) are out of the way, there’s absolutely no point in mindless speculation about the market. I’ve said all there is to say until the smoke clears. Therefore, this weekend, I am going to share some specifically-chosen videos. It is my view that most Slopers are overlooking the vast majority of content and features on the site, and I am hoping these videos and links will prod some to action. For this particular feature, the relevant link is here.

In the past, I’ve written that a person’s immediate reaction to a sudden situation is highly indicative of their internal character. This, to me, seems obvious and self-evident. The example I usually give is if a person is confronted with a situation (such as a building bursting into flames) in which they are immediately forced to choose between doing something heroic (some may say foolish) or elect instead to be passive (and thus safe). Heroes, I believe, are largely born, not made.
Perhaps you saw a video that just came out of a couple visiting Mexico who were terrified that they had been hunted down by a murderous cartel. I feel bad that these two men went through this ordeal, although I confess to smirking a bit at their pearl-clutching reactions (just watch the video). All the same, I’m glad they’re all right. I share this video simply because it’s one of those instances in which raw feelings are exposed because one doesn’t have the opportunity to think of a reaction and then act it out.
