Episode #31: 5 Momentous Decisions to Live a Richer Life
To live a richer life, many important decisions need to be made about your health, life, and financial habits. A life with wealth but poor health is not a richer life. Excellent health, but no financial security won't allow you to do all that you want to do. Being healthy and wealthy with no deep-quality relationships is also not a rich life. A rich life is about finding a balance of all the things that bring life meaning. It’s about accomplishing things without sacrificing your most important relationships. It’s about making a difference in the lives of others. It’s about experiencing all that life has to offer.
Your life is the sum of all the choices you have made up until now. The decisions you make each day lead to the actions you take, which lead to the life they are currently living
Episode #30- Don't Play Politics with Your Investment Strategy
In this episode, I discuss one of Momentous Wealth Advisors' 9 investment principles: "Don't Play Politics with Your Investment Strategy." I explore the relationship between political parties in power and investment performance by taking a journey through history, examining how the stock market and various sectors have performed under different administrations and political landscapes.
I want to emphasize that this episode is purely educational and based on historical data. It's not intended to be a political statement or a prediction of future performance. As always, remember that past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
Episode #29- The Value of Research Analysts and Price Targets
IWhether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, you've probably come across stock price targets in financial news or brokerage reports. But have you ever wondered who sets these targets and how they're determined? That's exactly what we'll be discussing today.
What are Research Analysts?
Let's start with the basics. Research analysts, also known as equity analysts or stock analysts, are financial professionals who study publicly traded companies and their stocks. They work for investment banks, brokerage firms, and asset management companies, providing valuable insights to both institutional and retail investors.
Episode #28- Investing Near All-Time Highs
In today's episode, I am tackling a topic that's on many investors' minds: how to invest when the market is at or near all-time highs.
Are you nervous about putting your money into a market that seems to have nowhere to go but down? Or are you worried about missing out on potential gains? You're not alone.
Today, we'll explore the challenges, strategies, and opportunities of investing when markets are near all-time highs.
Wealth Decision #7- Don't Try to Time The Market
Peter Lynch once said, “Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections than lost in the corrections themselves.” “The idea that a bell rings to signal when to get into or out of the stock market is simply not credible. Though tempting, trying to time the market is a loser's game.
The old adage, “It's not about timing the market, but about time in the market,” has been proven true over the years. Research shows that those who stay invested over the long run in a well-diversified portfolio will generally do better than those who try to profit from turning points in the market.
Wealth Decision #5- Don't Just Invest in Your 401k
If all of your money is in a Traditional 401k, every dime you take out when you retire will be taxable. We don’t know where tax rates will be 10 or 20 years from now, so having all your money in a tax-deferred account doesn’t give you a lot of control. It is crucial to not just have investment diversification, but also account diversification. Account diversification gives you more flexibility and tax control.
Episode #3- Investing In High Quality Stocks
It has often been said that “the biggest risk of all is not taking one.”
Early in my investing life, I always tried to find the next Amazon, Netflix, or Microsoft. I found stocks that did well in the short term, chased momentum growth stocks, and invested in smaller companies thinking I was smarter than the rest of the market. If I had a process for investing in companies like I do today, my success would have been substantially greater.
