Dear Reader, We're living in a very emotional time. Between the violence and protests that consumed the news in 2021... The new Omicron variant putting all your holiday plans in jeopardy... And the craziest year in financial history just behind us... It's hard not to feel emotional about some or all of these unprecedented events. Which is why it's now more important than ever to remember that when it comes to investing, emotions are your #1 enemy. With the Federal Reserve signaling higher interest rates ahead, many analysts are predicting stocks will take a BIG hit – possibly very soon. But as investors, we don't have a crystal ball – we can't control what happens next to stocks. What we can control is our emotions... And to me, the absolute BEST way for you to do that is to block everything else out and take advantage of this easy-to-use tool for timing when you buy and sell your stocks. Because even though I believe we're still in the middle of a historic market Melt Up... The next Melt Down could come at any moment. And if you don't have a system for taking your emotions out of the game when it does, I know it could cost you dearly. Please... please... don't convince yourself that you'll be able to time the next market crash. Instead, take just a moment today to watch this recent interview where I explain exactly why your emotions could cost you dearly and one practical step to get them under control right now. You see, there is a small change you can make today that won't take long... And the result is that you'll be far wealthier when you have a plan to help you hold onto all your gains... and not simply watch them disappear when the Melt Down arrives. Believe it or not, it should help you sleep a lot better at night. It certainly has for me. I'm not exaggerating when I say this one change in how you invest could be the most important financial decision you make in your lifetime. Good investing, Steve Sjuggerud P.S. Back when I started at Stansberry Research in 2001, "behavioral finance" wasn't even a passing thought for most investors... But over the last 20 years, a great deal of research has been done on how your emotions can impact your results as an investor. And what the research overwhelmingly shows is that most of us tend to buy our stocks high, and sell our stocks low. Our emotions get in the way... whether we notice it or not... and it causes us to make the same mistakes, over and over again. If you can simply find a way to block your emotions from impacting your investment decisions – that alone will cause your performance to improve. And in my nearly 30 years working in finance, this is the absolute best way I've found to do just that. |
