STICK WITH THE FACTS

  STICK WITH THE FACTS
In this book you will see facts, information, and ideas that you
most likely have not seen elsewhere. You will see why the conventional
wisdom on investing is dead wrong. Following bad advice
can actually cause you great financial loss and emotional distress.
The problem is that you have not been given the complete story on
investing and on how difficult it is to succeed over the long term.
In the long run, the only thing that matters is that you have protected
your money and that you’ve helped it grow. Letting bear
markets devour your hard-earned cash does not make sense. Buy
and hold does not make sense. It’s like seeing a train come roaring
down the tracks, and you decide to step in front of it. That’s irrational
and deadly, because you know the outcome.
My objective is to level the playing field and provide you with
the knowledge to become a more informed, calm, and profitable
investor. You have more important things to do than to be in constant
turmoil about your investments and your retirement funds as
you listen to the financial news each day. You can manage your portfolios
in a nonemotional, methodical manner, if you put your mind
to it.
Although this book is written for investors, it also provides
usable strategies that financial advisors, financial planners, mutual
fund managers, and brokers can use to protect their clients’ capital
and make it grow in both bull and bear markets. Hopefully, these
professionals will embrace timing strategies, after reading this
book, to use in their investment arsenal for all their clients’ benefit.
