Should You Keep Your Options Open or Stay Disciplined? (19:35)
Investors often continue dysfunctional behavior "just in case" there is "something better". It's tough to stick with a prudent boring diversified portfolio. Don't chase hot sectors or investments. It's like cheating on your spouse, it might feel good for a short time, but it's wrong, and you will likely get burned. Investors would be much better off dedicating their resources to prudent strategies, than to chasing "opportunities".

Things Will Get Better - Stay Disciplined (2:39)
In this segment from a recent investor coaching session, John shows how things can get better. Check out this short video and the comparison to the misery of the 1970's and the last few years.
Were the people in the 1970's at the time of this really bad economic period thinking we will get out of this mess some day? Or were they paying more attention to the overwhelmingly negative headlines at the time saying how bad things are and we will never get out of this mess?
It is extremely difficult to see how we can possibly get out of it when we are in the midst of bad economic times. I grew up in the difficult times of the 1970's. I remember the inflation, large stock market declines, the oil embargos, and gas rationing. At the time we could not imagine the stock market doing very well for the next 20 years or we would have cell phones, computers, flat screen TVs, digital cameras, internet, big improvements in health care, and a huge economic boom for two decades. While we can’t yet see how…the cycle will turn. Things will get better!

Despite the Bad Stuff, Prudent Investing Perseveres (11:21)
This is a short clip from our Optimism class. Despite all the bad stuff the goes on, a prudent diversified portfolio perseveres over time. Yes, there will be negative periods of returns, but the positive periods have outnumbered the negative periods, mainly due to population increases and technological advances (mutating technologies). You and I can participate in the capital markets, while being prudent with broadly diversified portfolios, and by investing in the appropriated portfolio for our risk tolerance so we can stay disciplined.
Check out on how we demonstrate that we often don’t see many of the good things that are going on every day all around us. The ending video is awesome. Enjoy!
