Think about it like this – if your portfolio never underperformed the market, do you think you’d really complain? You might, but you and I both know ‘average’ performance is good enough for most people…particularly if they don’t think they can do better.
That’s where I hit my emotional stumbling block….I think you can do better than average.
And then another bolt of lighting hit me. Part of the ‘pitch’ was to manage my clients’ expectations…to not let them expect more than mediocre results. I was encouraging them to not even try to get better results, telling them it was impossible for them to consistently beat the market since most of the pros can’t even do it. Now I realize what I was really telling them was that neither I nor the firm I worked for had the ability or willingness to beat the market - we just didn’t want to tell them that. If you did just good enough to let us keep you around as a client, we could continually collect fees and commissions.
Like I said though, I’ve uncovered what it really takes to do well as an investor.
Now I know what you’re thinking…if I figured out what the secrets are, how come the big Wall Street name I worked for couldn’t do the same? I have a couple of theories on the matter, but it all boils down to one thing – brokerage houses are lemmings; they’re all basically giving the same kind of advice, because nobody wants to risk sticking out and looking unconventional.
Well, I’m here to tell you, unconventional is where the money is.
Let’s face it – you’re probably here because you’ve been on the ‘conventional’ path for too long, and have been dissatisfied with your results. At least open your mind to something a little different.
There’s another reason, however, I firmly believe most financial-advice-givers haven’t embraced anything beyond run-of-the-mill techniques – it may just be more than they can handle. When you’re trying to give uniform advice through thousands of advisors to hundreds of thousands of customers, you pretty much have to whittle it down to the bare basics (like diversify, think long-term, and buy quality). Like I said, those things are important….they’re just not enough.
The missing pieces of that puzzle are what I’ve been working on ever since I left that firm. Now I’m ready to let you in on my research.
Are you excited yet? You should be. Here’s a brief introduction to my money-making discoveries.
First of all, no, this isn’t some sort of black-box trading technique. And no, I’m not going to guarantee you quadruple digit returns in a day. And no, you don’t need to margin your account to the hilt so you can buy in insane numbers of highly-leveraged futures contracts. These are principles for selecting and trading individual stocks…rules you should be using consistently to achieve outstanding returns just by owning shares in the right company at the right time. (Just so you know, it’s the same rules I use to run my highly-successful Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio.)
And yes, YOU can do it too.
What are my principles? Don’t get scared here – there are 10 of them. They’re simple ideas though. In fact, you can learn them quite easily (which is what the training course is for). I won’t even go into all ten of them here; I just want to mention three of them so you can get an idea of just how easy – but how underutilized – these ideas are.
1. Combine fundamentals with technicals: Most investors only do one or the other, but combining the two tools weeds out the weakest of trading ideas, and leaves you with the strongest.
2. Bet against the screaming hordes: The collective market is usually the most wrong at the most inopportune time. Take advantage of their fear or greed…or their regret.
3. The right or wrong sector can make or break you: If you think all sectors are about the same, guess again. Your broker is saying ‘diversify’, but Warren Buffett says diversifying – to the point of dilution - is for chickens. Who are you going to believe? One of the most successful investors in the world, or your broker who’s still working for a living?
Not brain surgery, right? It’s certainly not the kind of thing you’d hear from your average broker though. And trust me, the other seven ideas are equally important, yet all-too-often ignored.
So how can learn about the other seven principles, and learn more about the three I just teased you with? It’s easy – just sign up for my self-paced course. We can explain in detail exactly what each principle is, show you examples of how and why it works, and help you build your confidence in executing the rules going forward. And let me stress again, these are ideas you’re not likely to get anywhere else…yet these same unconventional rules have served me far batter than the industry’s boilerplate advice has.
For those of you who enroll in the class today, we’ve also got a special lifetime bonus for you….a tool that will help keep you focused on effectively using all ten rules for as long as you want.
This might make a little more sense after you’ve taken the course, but I can’t help it – I want to tell you right now. I’m going to allow free lifetime registration to the bigstocktrends.com newsletter for new course students. I don’t know how long I can keep the lost open for free (I have to eat too, you know). But, it’s worth it to me just so I know that you know you’re getting a great value.
The newsletter comes as needed, and highlights the very things I’ll teach you to look for in the course. For example, I told you above that being in the right or wrong sector can make or break you. In the newsletter, we actually illustrate which sectors look like they’re getting ready to underperform our outperform the market. The class also teaches you how to spot those ‘screaming hordes’. In the newsletter, I’ll specifically tell you when I think the majority of investors are screaming in unison….which usually comes right before a reversal.
That’s it – the choice is yours. You can choose to do something different and get better investing results, or you can choose to keep getting the same advice, and get the same results.
I can’t speak for you, but I can say this much for me….I’ve never regretted investing in my own success. Here's your chance to get more out of the market.
