ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INVESTING

You can skip this article if you think:

• You can be a great stock picker and beat the market.

• You can be a day trader and generate high returns.

• You can trade options and produce above average results.

• You can deploy a sector investing strategy and beat the market.

• You can trade bonds to generate high returns.

• You can trade commodities successfully.

• You can trade cryptocurrencies successfully.

The odds of being successful at any of the above strategies in the long-term is less than 1%.  Those strategies will also require a time investment of two hours per day or more.

If you choose to pursue one of these paths, good luck to you.  Many people feel the need to try to be a financial wizard and expert trader.  After they have tried and failed at these approaches, they are ready to hear what I will be covering in this article.

Once people can get past the dream of outwitting the market, their investing life can be simpler, and their investing results will be better and more consistent.  Simple beats complex in investing. Spending less time on investing and investing the right way also wins.  There are NOT too many areas in life where you can do less work and win.  Take advantage of this rare situation.

In investing, you do NOT need to know about:

• Fancy investing terms like P/E ratios and PEG ratios and Profit Margins and Market Share, etc.

• Bonds

• Commodities

• Passive Real Estate Investing

• Stock Options Trading

• Fancy Technical Analysis and Graphs

• Asset Allocation and Rebalancing

All you need to know about investing is:

• Stocks beat all other asset classes in the long run

• Large cap ETFs beat all other stock investments in the long run

• Which large cap ETFs to invest in

Once you learn that, you are pretty much done.  You can be very comfortable earning about 10% per year on your investments.

If you are okay living through stock market meltdowns and following the industry’s recommended strategy of Buy & Hold you are done.  If you are not okay with getting crushed in stock market collapses and you want to earn higher investment returns, our Market Signals investment service has you covered.  It is simple and easy to follow along with our recommendations.

When you simplify and improve your investing this way, you can concentrate on the important work of saving and investing as much money as you can.  You can also free up time to focus on doing the things you enjoy.

Simplify and Enjoy!
