Over the past couple days, you've been asking a lot of questions about one, specific topic: Inauguration Day.

But the focus isn't so much about the event itself… it's about what the media is "advising" to do with your money ahead of time.

And what they're saying could potentially destroy your portfolio and undo any profits you've already made this year.

So we need to talk about this right now – before it's too late.

Every January, without fail, the TV news networks run endless stories on the best New Year's resolutions to make. You probably saw at least one today.

At the top of those lists is "make more money." And by February, at least 80% of people have already failed.

Now that's not because making more money is impossible to do… it's not.

The real reason is that they didn't set a specific goal – and specific and proven path to get there.

As hard as it is to believe, another year has come and gone.

But all this means is that you've now got a brand new year to make twice the money you made in 2016.

After the Dow failed to hit the 20,000 mark yesterday, the TV news pundits went crazy.

In a matter of minutes, one station was calling for a huge stock market correction while another not only dismissed it – but said a correction was impossible next year.

Clearly, these talking heads don't actually know if – or when – the markets will turn.
