The Shock Market

Hi. I'm currently experiencing some market chaos as well. I have a product that can be an extremely lucritive undertaking, a new superhero feature motion picture and other related wares, registered trademark, franchise (already got 2 Prequels, 2 debut origin story co-spanning debut movies, and, a cycle of three Sequels planned that tie into the debut movies). But my forte is not in soliciting financial involvement, I'm on the creator, originator end of things.

I could have the first of the two origin story co-spanning movies made in time for a mid-late summer 2009 release date, based on the freshly revised first movie script I'm within days of completing, if, I could get the production ball rolling, essentially now, or say the end of the month. How might one be able to garner such immediate support without having a background in the financial world.

The first of the debut movies is a cheaper project to make than the follow-on second, capper movie - that second movie being an even bigger likely bet for becoming a mega box-office blockbuster. First one likely can be made for somewhere under 20 million. Even with an additional 20 million promo budget, the movie would have a pretty good chance at already breaking into a 20 million profit range by having a pretty good shot at pulling in at least a 100 million box-office domestically.

Everything else would be additional profitable gravy, the foreign box-office, the tie-ins, the distribution and broadcast licenses, all the licensed merchandise, the DVD, net streams, and rentals, the new comic book title runs, the publishing deal, the movie soundtrack, the possible pop hit theme song, and so forth. I mean this will be quite huge.

So what would be your advice to me on the matter?

Maybe it's time for guidence. Was there a chosen time? Maybe an article was published about this difficult period and wanted to win more than any-one took serious.

Look for a puzzle of intervention. Why?

It's becoming too look obvious. Too close.

I am concerned about all that is happening not only in the financial world but all around us. I worked for Merrill Lynch and was laid off in 2003. It is a shock to see companies that were the foundation of the financial world slowly crumbling. I appreciated your comments Mr. Trump, as it restored a feeling of hope within me. I would appreciate some advice on a managed fund that is for my son-money that was left by his father when he passed away. I called today to see what, if anything, should be moved or changed. I was told that since the money is in this managed, restricted account it is kept in all government t-bills and treasury bonds. I was told that "it was safe-99.5% of it" and I had nothing to be concerned about. As the financial guardian I am concerned and want this money to be there for my son when he turns 18. What would you suggest?? Thanks for your time.

Dear Mr. Trump,
I am an I.R.Professional with twenty years of the rollercoaster ride.
To be preventitive of these crashes, the government should impose a halt trading on days when the news causes people to try to sell their positions and thus a downward spiral.

Same as when someone yells 'FIRE" and everyone runs for the exit door....
The psychology of the market cannot even be quantified with fundamentals anymore, as it is based purely on emotions.

I also believe that the four day work week could benefit the health of everyone and slow things down a bit and shift the dynamics back to to a better balance.
MORESO, the 30 day turnaround time for payments should be restructured, as the timing is the only pure problem in meeting financial obligations.
The main problem is that everyone needs more time: to pay the mortgage etc.

The 30 day pay scheduels were based on 9-5 jobs and a very structured society in bygone years of payday Friday.

Some people have to spend so much time negotiating more time to pay, that it is actually hurting the usual productive work week over-all and dealing with creditors has become a daily job within itself.

I will take advantage of this marketing opportunity to market myself...stock promoter for hire, tight floats only and no morans.
WILL WORK FOR SCRAP GOLD AND BARRELS OF OIL.

All the employers always tell their eployees they shouldn't mix their problems at home with their office works while the employees are at the office. That's why employees have been trying to find another job environment that understands their problems at home.

I think good environment at home will sustain the job.

You can't have a strong economy without a strong middle class. You can't keep strengtheneing the top of the pyramid at the expense of the base. When you do that, the pyramid collapses. We need a period of responsible intelligent regulation, snd taking care of the needs of the American worker. We need to have people looking for long-term growth and not short-term profits. We need to invest in our future- not exploit the present. For the last 30 years, we have been on a run-away train. We need to get us a good engineer. Unfortunately, it looks like we are on a game show- Elect the Biggest Lier. We've suffered from having having a president who deliberately lied to the American people to get us into a war designed to increase the corporate profits of his friends. We can't afford to elect another lier.

Dear Mr. Trump,

First I want to start by saying that your note is full of wisdom. I really enjoyed reading it, and I could definitely feel the words coming from a successful man who always took time to think and evaluate situations before making a decision and implementing it. Now I would like to give my personal opinion about the changes that have been occurring lately in the Global and American market. I believe, just like you, that the economy is cyclical and that the American economy will get back on track eventually. The government and the fed have been getting more and more efficient, through time, at countering sudden and negative events that affect the US national economy. (9/11, meltdowns, oil crisis…)

As much as I believe that the American economy will get better, I do have the certainty that America is very unlikely to witness, in the near future, the economic boom and prosperity of the 90’s. The main reason behind my thinking is the way the Global economy is changing.

Once an economics professor told me "Physically, there are not enough resources out there for the whole world population to consume the same way Americans consume."
I totally agree with him. Today, with the rise of the emerging world, more people have access to things that their parents and grandparents did not have access to, personal incomes in China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Morocco, Romania, Brazil, Russia… are increasing faster than personal incomes in western Europe, north America, and Japan. Thanks to Globalization, many developing countries are moving towards more prosperous, modern, mass consumption economies. In a very near future, the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) will have more rich people than the whole population of the United States. Eventually, the personal income national averages will get closer and closer around the world: Wages in emerging countries are rising, while wages in the first world (on average) are either increasing slowly, stagnating, or even decreasing.

I believe that the conservatism of some Western executives is causing the financial catastrophes that we are witnessing. Socialists, patriots, and other conservatives are preventing multinationals from spreading their activities more around the world and focus less on the American market. It is easy to agree that we now live in a more Global economy, but is it easy to admit it? That is the real question. By admitting that our companies operate in a global economy, we have to accept the fact that we cost too much for the labor, products, and services that we provide, and that we have to let things naturally evolve towards a more balanced economy around the world as more and more countries are opening their markets to investments which allows other people around the world to be productive and generate income for themselves and their families.

That is my personal opinion about the changes happening in the American and World economy.

Mr Trump,

Every economy in the world has its ups and downs. It's a sinusoidal relationship. A smart person would understand this fact and take action to do the right thing . A not so smart person will stare at the news and not do anything. You've got to know, its the survival of the fittest. When the times get tough, the tough get going. That's just the way the world works. You can't blame the floor's uneven, if you can't dance properly. Make the best of what you alredy know, and let it benefit you and your loved ones.

What's shocking is how many people accept these changes as being par for the course. Too many people equate change as an opportunity for personal gain. But are these changes making our life better in other ways besides money?

Change should develop at a reasonable pace. Wall Street is making huge decisions using over-night express. I agree that some changes may be necessary. Thoughtful planning, open discussions, and concern for the investors money is a time honored tradition that I hope doesn't change.

Wall Street needs a correction in values not a hand out from the government that allows business as usual.

Dear Mr. Trump, Do you own a bank? Do you want to own a bank and be the world bank with more customers then anyone or close to it? Its very simple, it came to me today driving down the road out of the blue........................give the banks customers MONEY at random on a regular basis rather then pay for long term advertising to attract customers. Keep them with your internal computer audits to make sure your computers have made no mistakes and people have not been ripped off..................Honesty. Something Washington Mutual could't dream of 2years ago............that is honesty! Your customers win the lottery and don't even have to gamble! Random acts of kindness from the Bank to its customers! I would think you could make enough money off volume..............kinda like Mcdonalds and keep the price's low to do business with you. What do you think? You could even send out a few winning sounds like the slots in las vegas when you randomly give the money out............Make your customers day! Everyone would move there accounts! Thank You Faye Marie

How has real estate investing change if the government owns houses? The new bill that president Bush is proposing will involve government buy back of bad mortgage debt. Is this a new era of investing?

I agree with your assessment that we will survive and that something has to be done to prevent this from happening again. I am more intrigued with your statements of having a plan B, fall back position. Without a plan B, there is minimal assessment of risk. With no fallback position the risk of failure is obvious. Plans only work when everyone plays by the rules, but as we have seen recently many of the rules were violated. I am sure as a businessman you have as many of your risks calculated into the projects that you are running at the time, with back up plans, therefore risk becomes non-risk when calculated into the equations.

It seems that many don't pay attention to having fail safe positions when looking at government programs. Perhaps they should take your advice and make sure that all systems are backed up with back-up plans to make sure that we go forward into the future as risk free as possible.

Thanks for your insight, you spark thought into issues and topics that many would not attempt.

Now I know there is no "easy money". But I am being bombarded by friends to join this "Shop to Earn"
company started by Pat Welsh who is the son of the Welsh of GE....
Donald Trump's name has been dropped around as an "approver" of this plan, or scheme or a pyramid, and I don't believe it...so here I am leaving this comment in the Shock Market, just to see if anyone is reading.....let me know.

member1866174,
To the best of our knowledge Mr Trump has no involvement with "Shop to Earn" . Thanks for commenting.

Out of chaos comes reinvention....hme.... I think that is probably true most of the times, Mr. Trump. But what I am seeing right now is: out of chaos comes MORE chaos. I worry, Mr. Trump. I worry. I mean, you are a New York Real Estate Developer with an almost impenetrable amount of wealth. And you are king of reinvention - the ultimate comeback kid. I don't worry too much about you. But what, if at the end of the day, Wall Street as we know it is just unsalvageable? How do you reinvent Wall Street, Mr. Trump? Apres Wall Street, la deluge, Mr. Trump! And then what are we gonna do?

Mr trump:
I'm afraid that this time there's no plan B, plan B only exist when there's a plan A, but in this case plan A has never existed, this is the American economy, who would doubt about the system a few years ago?, nobody, as I have answered in this blog to Dr Jewell (if the comment is approved) at the entry :Creative Entrepreneurialism, if in our business we are used to sell garbage, one day we will became dirty, because at the end the garbage will surround us, and we will be sitting at the top, at the top of what?, (I have preferred not to use the words that I have in mind to describe the situation), but one thing is clear for me, the economy will start to run, people start to expend money again, but to make it possible, people must have money to use, money that today they don't have , what the government has to do to give money to people so they can start to use it an move the economy?, this is the question, I think that in the USA, it happened almost the same as in Europe (is were I live), the increase of prices and taxes have removed away the Acquisition power from people, must taxes and prices have a reduction of 40% and this is the amount of percentage that we will give back to citizens?, are prices real?, analysis is simple, when the people with the minimum salary can not live in a decent way because their expenses to have a normal life are superior than their income, the results are predictable, and more predictable it people have mortgaged over their possibilities, all mortgages are good meanwhile people pays them, but when the cost of life increase, then is less money to live and the final consequence is stop paying, then are mortgages bad? Or is the system failure?, when prices raise without control, the economy is in serious danger, look what happened with mortgages without control. prices and taxes must be according the earnings of citizens, that means stability and social peace, we don't have to forget that the global economy depends of consume, if we are not capable to give money back to people and so reactivate consume, even the stock markets can be in deep danger.
Here in Spain at the Mediterranean sea, our main business is tourism and construction, we still one of the preferred destiny’s of tourism in Europe, our city is one of the cities with more skyscrapers per m2, and we keep going on, I lead a group of business people and I always create illusion, so we are in this moments of crisis planning to develop an amazing leisure project unique in Europe, and may enclose a big land in witch is possible to build the tallest building in the world,( I am working on it) here we are planning to grow while others are scared and stopped , our bank system is perhaps the only one who have resist the crisis at Europe. I don’t know in the USA, but here there are a lot of business opportunities, money is running away from stocks markets and start to move in to the good real state witch is always a refugee and special now witch the prices are lower. So illusion we don’t loose, my recommendation is to keep gong on in one way or another, in the Usa or in Spain, great ideas make possible great business, maybe a different kind of business concerning the changing moments in today’s world, maybe we must change our way to do business too, many concepts will change after this, and the one who is ready to adapt to the new times will be in the line to success, that’s what I am doing right now, taking out good ideas that I’ve had in mind for years waiting for the right moment and no better moment like this one because there is a lot of sensibility by the authorities that when thinks are running ok it doesn’t exist.
This is like Murphy’s law, - If we keep thinking that we are ill because the system is infected, then we will be ill.
