Conscious Investing for Peace of Mind (1:11:04)
This is a special video we are sending out for the long weekend.This is one for the archives. Save this video until you can watch it. We recorded this video in October 2010 when Mark Matson came out from Ohio to speak to our clients. Mark Matson manages millions of dollars for our clients, focusing on obtaining market rates of returns in various asset classes, and controlling bad investor behavior so investors can obtain the market returns that are available to the disciplined investor. The sad truth is most investors don’t get the returns that are available to them because of wrong behavior. In the first 11 minutes, Scott and I do an introduction and then Mark takes over. Very interesting stuff about investing you probably never thought about before. This is an important video for all investors to watch. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity we had and were blessed to have a $2.7 Billion dollar money manager teach us about money. For those that were able to attend you will love seeing it again. It was a great night. For those that were not able to attend, we recorded it special for you. Investor behavior is an important topic. Enjoy Mark’s presentation, Conscious Investing For Peace of Mind! Feel free to forward this to other investor friends.

Becoming a Seasoned Investor (38:58)
Here is a great coaching session for the current downturn we are going through. Rookie investors chase markets up, and panic when markets go down. They take too much risk when times are good, and not enough risk when markets go down. This costs them big money. Stay consistent and disciplined in a diversified portfolio according to your true risk tolerance.
In the first 5 minutes and you will know what it is to be a "Seasoned Investor." In the first 14 minutes you will learn the mistakes immature investors make over and over again. The last 6 minutes is also something everyone should watch. Just because you are a seasoned investor, does that mean your fear and greed emotions go away? Certainly not! But it does help you to control those emotions and prevent you from acting upon self destructive behavior like buying high and the panicking and selling low because you have taken on too much risk to begin with. Know your risk, diversify properly, then stay with a quality diversified portfolio. It is important to continue to learn how to become a "Seasoned Investor."

John Stossel on the Stock Market (9:29)
Scott & I had the privilege of meeting John Stossel in person at a recent Advanced Advisor Conference. It was an honor to meet him! You have to check out the timeless 20/20 story from 1992 featuring Mr. Stossel. You will be amazed! He shows how picking stocks by throwing darts is often a better way than following the “experts.” Check out Barbara Walters 18 years ago and those clunky big screen computers! The truly amazing thing is that the story could be written today.
If you try and pick individual stocks just like gambling you may get lucky from time to time. However just like in gambling the more you pull the lever (the more you trade) the greater the likelihood you underperform the markets over time. Plus you bring in the unnecessary risk of corporate bankruptcy or unexpected negative news that can come with any individual company no matter how good the company is today. You can diversify this unnecessary risk to a minimal amount with a broadly diversified portfolio. Returns come from the markets. There is no need to pick individual stocks to get the returns the markets deliver over time. Know the difference between speculation and gambling and prudent investing. Stay disciplined stay diversified!

The Con Game Continues: Dent Sees the Future, Again! (10:40)
Harry Dent is a market forecaster that the media loves. He dresses nice, is articulate, yet his investors have lost boat loads of money. He's predicted dow 35,000 and now forecasts dow 3,000. If he really can predict the future, why don't his funds make 30% per year with little or no risk? And why does the media support his act without checking him out? Sadly, unsuspecting investors tune in and follow his advice. You know better!

What Your Typical Advisor Can't Do (31:06)
Many advisors and brokers will throw you under the bus to save their income at the potential huge cost to the investor for enabling dysfunctional investor behavior. In this regard, many advisors and brokers prove to be useless and detrimental to an investor's lifetime success. Check out the hidden advisor biases that investors need be aware of. If you know this stuff, you won't become a victim. Some of your friends and family may already be unsuspecting victims. And don't think that just because an advisor/broker is a nice person that you won’t be subject to these problems. Most advisors/brokers are nice well meaning people. However even after evidence is presented and documented regarding their current advisor/broker they don’t believe it and they sometimes remain in denial.
Be sure to pass this important video on to help prevent other investors from becoming a victim of their own costly behavior and advisor/broker biases. Whether you circum to your fear or greed emotions, it is important to have an advisor that will help keep you disciplined, especially when you don’t want to. Without discipline, none of the other stuff matters (diversification rebalancing asset allocation etc). Stay diversified and stay disciplined for a lifetime!

War & the Markets (19:52)
Historically, war and international conflict occurs frequently and doesn't prevent equity markets from growing. Need more evidence that discipline is more important that timing the market? It is so important not to chase rising markets, because markets will go down again in the future. Be prepared! Diversification, discipline, and rebalancing, while hard to do, is much easier than trying to forecast (I mean guess) when to get in and out of the market. Noone can reliably time the markets. This can be very costly behavior. Instead, know your risk and prepare yourself for inevitable down periods. Then stay disciplined and get the lifetime market returns you deserve.

As an investor, you must be able to hear advice you sometimes don't want to hear. Can you handle the truth?

As investment managers, coaches, or advisors, we work with real people who have real families and lives.

Imprudent investing can destroy your health, your outlook, your mental state, and investment decisions that create confidence and peace of mind for the long term. Learn about the "investor's dilemma" that traps investors in a vicious circle of imprudent investing. Some investors have learned to become a victim. Don't be one of them!

Drawing upon our emotions or gut feelings to make important investing decisions can be very costly. You may get lucky by guessing right once, but to guess consistently correct during a lifetime is almost impossible. The good news is, a prudent investing strategy does not require guesses, forecasts, gut feelings, or emotional based decisions.
Learn how the cognitive part of our brain (what we know) often justifies bad investor instincts and causes investors to make irrational and costly decisions. This is an excellent lesson on investor behavior every investor should learn. Share this video with your friends and family.

Instincts & Investing (10:39)
This clip is from our Conscious Investing for Peace of Mind event when special guest Mark Matson came out to speak to our clients. Mark is the founder and CEO of Matson Money Inc., an investment advisor firm managing over $2.7 billion (as of 09/30/10) for investors nationwide. This was an amazing once in a lifetime event. We all learned a lot from Mark about investing that day. Unfortunately for most investors, they will never learn the stuff we teach because the financial industry at large does not want investors to know this stuff. It is important to spread the word and share this information.
In this clip Mark teaches on how the cognitive part of our brain (what we know) often justifies bad investor instincts and causes investors to make irrational and costly decisions. This is probably the most important short video clip on investing you will ever watch, and something every investor should learn.

In response to an investor inquiry Mark explains why a broad based diversified portfolio does not track the S&P 500. Three simple decisions will have the most impact on your portfolio performance. With a diversified portfolio, there will be times when you underperform the S&P 500 and times when you outperform the S&P 500.

Rebalancing = Automatic Discipline (2:10)
Mark will reference the word "investment coach" in certain videos. I want to give everyone the definition of a coach so you will know what he means. An investment coach is a fee based independent registered investment advisor that provides their clients ongoing education, the discipline to stay with proven diversified investment strategies, helps you measure risk to choose the appropriate portfolio, and makes sure your portfolio is rebalanced periodically to keep your risk parameters in line. It's a long definition, so that's why we simplify it to "Investment Coach". Enjoy this first of many important video clips. This one isabout 2 minutes and explains the concept of rebalancing.

Investors - Bad at Predicting Bad Events & Good Events (11:12)
I created this video on May 7th, 2010. In 2010 the markets were negative for much of 2010, then in the last few months a period of positive returns came when few expected it. Patience paid off in 2010. Is it Déjà vu all over again for 2011? Time will tell.
Note: This is not a prediction of the future. No one knows the future. This is a lesson on patience and discipline so you get the average returns that are available to the disciplined investor, and so you don’t lose money by getting fearful or greedy. Every portfolio has different levels of risk and volatility. Choose a portfolio that has the volatility you can tolerate for a period of years.
What’s happening in the markets? Volcanoes, oil slicks, Greek riots and sovereign debt…But, it’s different this time! Well, I have some news…it’s different EVERYTIME the markets go down. This is nothing new.

Examining Expectations - 10 Pledges for Investors (6:30)
There's a lot of money to be made in the prophecy racket... or in other words, the market forecasting business. The media and the financial industry at large have to keep this illusion alive to keep making money off of investors. They need investor's (or an investor's hyperactive money manager) to constantly be active and make transactions.
But here's the industry's dirty little secret. Real investment success doesn't come from following the right predictions. It comes from following the right principles.
• Allocate your assets properly.
• Diversify your portfolio broadly.
• Buy quality investments.
• Avoid the scams by sticking to the basics.
• Keep your investment costs reasonable with low turnover.
• Maintain discipline so you can get the market rates of returns that are available to the disciplined investor.
• Know the risk measurements in your portfolio so you know what to expect in up and down markets.
• Rebalance when necessary on a disciplined basis, to eliminate the need to forecast and predict.
• Hire an investment coach that sticks to these principals for successful lifetime investing.
Yes, you can make it a lot more complicated than this. But to be successful, you really don't need to. These ten pledges are timeless. This is some of the stuff we teach, and is summed up nicely in the 10 pledges in this video.
For the Advisor (our pledge to you): We pledge to adhere to the written Investment Policy Statement. We pledge to continue to dedicate both time and resources to investor education and have made it our mission to help you succeed for your lifetime by helping you adhere to the 10 PLEDGES FOR INVESTORS.
Many of you have already taken the pledges to help you become better lifetime investors. For those that have not yet done so, simply e-mail John or Scott to get your copy of the 10 Pledges For Investors.

Rationally Optimistic (38:27)
This is a class we recently taught when we had the Casino Night at the Conference Center. The class was “Where is the Optimism?” and how you can be rationally optimistic about the future and your broadly diversified portfolios. We don’t rely on individual companies, but on free market capitalism. The world should continue to grow from population increases and mutating technologies. Yet, investors tend to focus on the relentless negative news in the press. So, we don’t see the good stuff that is going on all around us every day, all over the world.
There are some really cool videos in this lesson, and an awesome one at the end, so be sure to watch the entire class. Watch and you will become more confident and rationally optimistic!
