As someone who was born and raised in Seattle, I've been a Seattle Seahawks fan for my whole life. And as a fan, I follow a few of the players' on Facebook. One of those players is Richard Sherman. First off, I'll just say that if he weren't on my team, I'd hate the guy because of his attitude, but he is a MONSTER in the secondary. Over the last month or so, he has randomly mentioned on his Facebook page about how his 'guy' who runs an investing blog (never heard of it before. Common man investing?) has been getting him more and more interested into investing. From some of these posts about the stock market, I'm starting to put together that not only is he learning and investing more and more into the stock market, but he seems to be investing either on behalf of, or at least in an attempt to benefit, his charitable foundation. This was a post of his today:
"Taking a moment to study up before the stock market opens tomorrow. My guy Dave Meyers with Common Man Investor has made me obsessed with this stock game! Love the support it gives to my foundation, and I get to put my Stanford education to work!
Check him out... giving several great stock tips to me and my foundation weekly."
No, I have no idea who the guy who runs that website is so I'm not using this as a way to promote that. But my point with the post (besides being a little silly of course) is that I seem to always read about how there are some "checkpoints" on the road to an overheated market. One of those being the general public getting more and more interested in the market.
Again, besides being lighthearted and of course anecdotal, what are your guys' thoughts on things like this? For the record, I have no interest in, nor do I try to predict where the market is going. Oh, and also I'd like to say that I'm brand new to the board after being a lurker for over a year. Glad to be hear! ;D
