The All-Inclusive 2008 Economic Recap – A Free Presentation for the Global Recession
Posted on January 7th, 2009 by Jim under Economy, Stock Market News
The markets were rough in 2008, that’s a sure thing. But while my financial counterparts and I are all over the newswires on an hourly basis, picking up every finite detail of the catastrophe that comes out, many people do not have that leisure. Because of this, I have created what I feel to be an all-encompassing presentation of the global recession, and all that happened to the markets in 2008… in an easier-to-understand version.
I’ve packed about all I can do into a short 20-minute presentation on the markets in order to bring you almost completely up to par on where we are, and why. It’s important going forward to understand why things are bad, and where the United States (among others) went wrong with our borrowing habits and over-leveraged recklessness. The bottom line is: if you are at all interested in business, or even if you just work in a line of work that handles a lot of transactions, this is going to be a very important presentation.
The Official TNF 2008 Market Presentation
This is a video-presentation on the markets, and you can download it for yourself in Microsoft PowerPoint format here: DOWNLOAD PRESENTATION. The powerpoint presentation attached can serve as a nice refresher course of everything of note that happened in 2008 that specifically and directly impacted where we are today in the markets. There is certainly a lot of confusion, anxiety and uneasiness surrounding the investing world… and I think that the waters are finally starting to clear.
If you are considering investing, I highly recommend you consider equities over the next few months… as I feel that we are at an attractive long-term investing level. However, it is NEVER a good idea to jump into something without understanding how things function, and how things trade. After all, owning a successful stock in 2009 will not be a function of picking a “good company,” but rather, it will be a function of picking up on a favorable trend. Watching this presentation just might be the excuse you were looking for to get caught up, eh? 
I hope that you enjoyed this year’s run-down of the entire year of 2008 in just twenty minutes. It’s definitely a crazy environment, so feel free to post any questions you might have down below in the comment area. If you enjoyed the presentation, please subscribe to my blog to show some support for my efforts. Alternatively, I would love for you to share this post around to your friends, so that we can get as many people “in the know” as possible. Here’s to a profitable 2009… stay BULLISH on the net!

PPPHHHEEEWWW, that was a long video, but it was worth watching though.
Thats a long video, but well worth it. Downloaded the ppt presentation.
Very informative, nice to see you cut everything down to just the basic facts
Hopefully this economic recession that we are currently end will end soon because I have a lot of ideas in mind and they won’t work if people don’t have any money to buy them
Market really bad for this year, now we are facing global recession. What to do? Life must carry on. The video is not working for me, I didn’t see the video but just downloading the power point file.
It was worth every minute of the twenty to sit through that presentation. Very well made and informative. Thank you.
I am seaching for some idea to write in my blog
Fantastic presentation three Jim. Very well and concisely put.
Personally I think even in this times we can make money byt helping all the poeple that may turn their eyes to the net. there is a lot of unemployees and the Baby Boomers (A lot of them have money), so now it is time to make money helping others to make money.
There are newbies, we can help them shorten their learning curve and as well to avoid so scams.
I agree completely. Bad economic times provide great opportunities for those who are resourceful and forward thinking. As more people find themselves unemployed, they will be searching for a new direction with their income. A home based business is something most people would love to have.
I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…
