As you may know, I’m an avid music fan.

Specifically, classical jazz.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Chet Baker recently. The way his melody’s lull you into a trance is hypnotic. That’s why I’ve moved Chet, along with some other smooth jazzers, to my “Relaxation Playlist.”

Listening to jazz helps me unwind after a long, stressful day. Last night, after Wednesday’s and Thursday’s market slide, his voice was crooning around the corners of my new apartment.

Today I’m in the mood for something different. Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew or anything by Dizzy Gillespie. Both keep my mind guessing.

And that about sums it up for the markets this week…

The Dow Drop

At the Wednesday close, the Dow had dropped by more than 800.

It blindsided almost everyone.

It jazz’d us, you could say (in the way that an unexpected musical note pierces the ear).

It woke everyone up. Made them discontent. Moved them to some form of action.

Harry chimed in on the matter on Thursday.

I hate to say he told you so, but… it’s something he’s been predicting for some time.

Then yesterday he sent a second market update after markets popped upward at the open.

As Harry says all the time, when things run smoothly for too long, we get too comfortable and complacent. This week’s chaos has jarred us awake. The thing is, and this is why we work so hard to create the team of experts we have…

You’ve “Gotta Have Faith”

Yes, George Michael. Yes!

When it comes to investing, you’ve “gotta have faith” in your system. Adam talks about this regularly in 7 Figure Trader, 10X Profits, and Cycle 9 Alert. If you’ve chosen correctly, your system will guide you profitably through the good times and even the bad (or, at the very least, minimize the damage during crashes).

It’s something that our editors here at Dent Research – Rodney Johnson, Lance Gaitan, John Del Vecchio, Lee Lowell, and Adam O’Dell – pride themselves on. They burn the midnight oil regularly making sure they’re serving you, our readers, in the best possible ways.

The thing is, you’ve got to stick to the system. You’ve got to listen to the experts. You’ve gotta keep reading.
