Welcome to 2015 – I’m thrilled you’re here!
I think this year is gonna be absolutely filled with opportunity for investors, perhaps more than ever before. But few of us are set up to take full advantage of it. That’s because most people’s portfolios are totally out of whack. (I’ll show you what I mean in a moment – and why it cramps your returns.)
But I’ve got great news for you.
There’s a stunningly simple investing tactic you can use to achieve significantly higher returns – 21.97% higher annually, on average, over the last 14 years, in fact. But that’s far from the only reason I want you to use this tactic today…
First, it is proven by study after study after study to be a foundational element on the path to higher profits.
Second, it is a way of injecting discipline into the investment process. That makes it an important risk-control mechanism.
And, third, what I’m about to share with you requires only about 20 minutes a year to do. Yes, a year. That means you can pick one day you won’t forget – like the first trading day of the year or perhaps your birthday – to make it happen…
… and immediately start building the kind of wealth you deserve.
Here’s how to start this year off right for your money.
The investing tactic I’m talking about is rebalancing.
Most investors haven’t heard of rebalancing. That’s very surprising, given all the lip service Wall Street pays to fancy-pants diversification, hyping stocks, and day trading as a sure route to wealth these days.
What I like about rebalancing is that it’s simple yet immensely profitable, because rebalancing forces you to buy low and sell high. There’s no ambiguity, no emotion, and no second-guessing yourself, the markets, the Fed, China, Russia, or any other influence in the headlines.
What I positively love about rebalancing is that it can lead to huge performance gains, even if the markets drift lower. Not too many strategies can do that.
