Why Do You Think You Can Beat Professional Investors?

Blog, Principles

Did you know that 95% of portfolio managers don’t beat their index? How can you be better than them? I’ve been bombarded by such assumptions over the past 15 years as an investor. Imagine that professionals surrounded by scores of analysts doing research 7/24/365 and fueled by virtually unlimited amounts of cash to support their work, can’t beat the market most of the time.

Blog, Portfolio Building

I was talking about investments with one of my friends last week and he mentioned something that made me think. He wasn’t at all interested in investments and told me that investing was only for people with lots of income. In other words; you need lots of money to start investing.

Maybe they thought we were stuck between selling our house and doing our RV project… well they guessed wrong! After a night of calculation, I came up with another plan. I’m still leaving, but I’ll keep the house! I’ll explain you this next week! It was quieter on the blog this week, but not because I didn’t write. In fact, I have …

Each week, I read numerous dividend investing blogs. Most of them are authored by savvy investors who have been following their own dividend investing strategies. What is amazing about investing is that there isn’t a single strategy that trumps all the others. There are many ways to make money on the stock market. What really matters is that you find the one that works for you. This is probably the hardest part as most investors you encounter will tell you they have the strongest strategy of …
