Diligence & Detailed Orientation is a Major Investor Character Trait

Many investor behaviors are not rooted in math and science. There’s no real analytic underpinning to most financial product purchases. But there’s significant data that can’t and shouldn’t be ignored.

Investing without a strategy is like redoing the D-Day invasion of Europe without a plan. Instead of launching one of the greatest military successes in history, you just send ships and planes and tanks and men at random and watch them get chopped to pieces. It’s a nightmare of failure.

The same thing happens to your finances. Moving forward without a strategy invites disaster. You invest based on a story you read in the news or on the advice a relative or friend told you, or even worse, you blindly followed your financial advisor’s recommendation. You invest when the market is at the top and pull out your money after it craters.

To avoid all that, you need a plan, supported by proven strategies that work, let’s take a look at where we are today. We’ve had two consecutive market meltdowns since 2000. Each one of those drops was followed by a recovery.
