Investing Strategy

No matter how grim the global situation is or even becomes, indiscriminately selling is exactly what you don't want to do.

It's one of the worst possible decisions any investor can make and, ultimately, one that will cost investors billions in lost profits.

When markets hit rough spots, we see a spike in selling. No surprise there. It's natural; folks sense trouble and panic can set in, so they sell... and then sit paralyzed while desperately looking for a way back in.

Maybe you've made these moves yourself. I sure have. Most investors have, at one point or another, made a decision like this without a clear plan.

But here's the thing - if you sell, or buy, or make any investment decision without a clear plan, you're setting yourself up for steeper losses and lower gains.

But the good news is, with a simple plan like the one I'm about to show you, you can make better (read: more profitable) investing decisions.

And you can do it in two steps. That's it.

While there's no really bad time to kick underperforming stock positions out of your portfolio, some times are actually better than others.

The good news is, if you're sitting on losing positions, now may be a great time to exit them.

It's great because stocks are near all-time highs. That makes it easier to see which stocks in your portfolio haven't participated in the long run-up we've had.

It's also a good time because some investing themes that saw big gains are fading, some are dead in the water, and others are just starting to take shape.

And with this investing strategy, you can handle those losing positions with confidence.

My mission and vision is to help you uncover tremendous wealth-building opportunities through our six unstoppable trends, maximize your profits with the best trading tactics, and (perhaps most importantly) protect what you have.

Today I want to keep that promise by talking about investing strategies.

Many investors think they have this covered but, in reality, the savviest investors are always on the hunt to learn new tactics in the pursuit of profits. Like a chef who discovers new ingredients, they are constantly improving the "recipes" they use for success.

Before we start, though, I need you to make me a promise.

For every story of a $5.00 stock exploding and becoming a $50.00 stock, there are countless examples of companies flaming out, leaving investors with worthless shares.

That's why it's so important to have a risk management strategy in place - and one that's tailored for small-cap stocks.
