Belated Happy B-day wishes out to Zack “Juiceman” Miller. We were a bit late with this one but with all the volatility in the markets it sort of slipped my mind. For thsoe of us who take a birthday seriously, it’s a time not only to reflect on the past, but more importantly, to look ahead to the future. What do you want to accomplish in the upcoming 12 months?

For investors the previous 12 months have been a disaster with major market averages off about 25% in the US, and some Israeli averages down more than 50%.

Obviously no one can predict the future, but let’s hope that this coming year for Zack will also be a blessing for investors.

Back when I  was in high school, I worked for a company in sales and we used to go around to businesses and sell books. We used to have a sales/motivational meeting each morning before heading out to our territory. At the end of each meeting we started doing a chant. The theme of the chant centered on the word juice. The word juice was an acronym for ‘join us in creating excitement.’

Let’s hope that we can get a bit of upside excitement this year. Happy b-day.
