The Chicago Cubs persevered through over a century of losses and disappointments to finally win the World Series, demonstrating the importance of never giving up. Election uncertainty is pushing up gold prices and volatility in markets. While computers have advantages, human ingenuity and analysis remain important. Real estate has been a proven wealth builder as home values have risen. The best city to live for various factors like crime, jobs and amenities is Broomfield, Colorado. Women and men should consider pursuing high-paying careers in fields like engineering, nursing, medicine, technology and law. While things are better in the US, Venezuela faces a dire humanitarian crisis with hyperinflation and food shortages, requiring urgent relief.

1. Never Stop. Stay in the Game.
Market Thoughts of the Week ending 11-05-2016
Never quit. Stay in the game until you win. Chicago Cub's 108 year journey was not
pretty or easy. Cubs endured humiliation, heartaches, and fear... Finally they won the
Major League World Series baseball championship because they never stopped pursuing
their goal. Huah. Salute the Champion's perseverance.
Election jitters like if 'Donald win, if Hillary win, or if 269/269 tie' may all be pushing
gold price to $1500. Market does not like uncertainty as fear index has climbed more
than 40% over the last six days, while the S&P 500 has lost 2% in that time. In these
difficult times, should you rely your investment strategy to computers or trust human
ingenuity and analytic ability? Some believe people can still beat
computer… Meanwhile, there is a proven wealth builder... The home owners are twice
as rich in America than five years ago. So where and how will you invest now?
America's best city to live is Broomfield, Colorado based on a range of variables,
including crime rates, employment growth, access to restaurants and attractions,
educational attainment, and housing affordability. And women in America may be best
to pursue higher paying jobs in Engineering, as Nurse practitioners, Physicians and
surgeons, Computer and information systems managers, Lawyers, Pharmacists, and
as Chief executives (#1). So women, and perhaps men too, should be moving to these
growing cities and pursue employment in the listed industries? Why not try?

2. Things could be better in America, and let’s pray they will improve. There is always
hope here in USA. However, in Venezuela human condition is dire. They have no food
to eat and inflation is raging up to 500% and forecasting to 1600%+ in 2017. And there
seem to be no relief for Venezuela any time soon. Let there be miracle for the poor and
hungry. Please God help people of Venezuela.
