The Way Of The Rebel Investor
Last week, I talked about how Wall Street needs investors to buy and sell in order to make money and I teased that there is a way that you can get out of this way of investing and into a way that is prudent and based on academic research.
The way of the rebel investor is different than the way of the average investor.
Average investors look for what stocks or commodities are working right now and chase after them. Rebel investors ignore the hype because they know that what is hot now should have been bought before it was hot.
Average investors get scared when markets go down and move to cash to avoid further losses. Rebel investors smile when markets go down and buy more of the stocks the average investors sold at a loss. They know that when the market comes back that they can capitalize on these purchases.
Average investors have not identified their true purpose for their money and just want to make as much as they can. Rebel investors know what their true purpose for their money is, and they adjust their portfolio and lifestyle accordingly.
Average investors work with advisors and financial professionals who share their ideals and help them find what’s hot in the market now and get paid when average investors move their money around. Rebel investors work with coaches who share their ideals and help them build a prudent, well-diversified portfolio and get paid for their coaching by a fee.
Average investors build their portfolios in a hodge-podge manner and fill them up like someone in a grocery store without a list. Instead of following the list, they grab whatever looks good and when they go to check-out, they can’t cook dinner because the items they bought weren’t coordinated to go together. Rebel investors build their portfolio based on academic research and disciplined rebalancing. They are the grocery shopper who has a list, sticks to it, and has a wonderful dinner with all of the right items.
What kind of an investor are you right now?
What kind of an investor do you want to be?
I am looking for rebel investors who are ready to begin shifting their investing experience. I want to work with people who take their investments seriously because they know their future depends on it.
