7 Deadly Investor Traps – 2005 (21:12)
Do Not Confuse Markets Work with Markets Go Eternally Upward – 2004 (20:24)
This audio from the year 2004 has timeless information for all investors. The longer term average returns include both upside and downside volatility. Upside and downside volatility can be reduced but not elimintated in the risk part of the portfolio. Markets don't always go up. There is risk in volatility. That is why there is potential to earn more than risk free Treasury Bonds. Investors tend to take too much risk, or worse, take too much risk and don't know how much risk they are taking, tend to panic and lose large sums of money with market timing issues. Almost every year the stock market has declines of 5%-10% or more at some point in the year. The volatility is part of investing and we reduce our own portfolio volatility by adding high quaity bonds, so we have the money to rebalance into stocks on the inevitable declines. To get the longer term average returns the stock and bond markets deliver we must be able to go through the periodic negative periods. We don't know which direction the next 20% will be (up or down), but the next 100% is alwasy up. The fact is somewhat reassuring if you are a lifetime investor. Diversify, know your risk, buy and rebalance...do not buy and hold.
Lifelong Investing – 2009 (18:41)
This is for both young and seasoned investors (yes, even those that tell me they don’t even buy green bananas). You and I are investors, not speculators. The risk part of your portfolio is designed to be invested for a lifetime and beyond, not for the next 6 months. Remember, if you are an educated investor, know your portfolio, and know how to filter the good information from the junk that is out there...you will have true peace of mind! This is great information! Take the time to listen and become an educated investor.
Given the recent market downside volatility, this is an important lesson to listen to.
