No one can predict when the five worst days of the market will be each year. Nor can they predict when the five best days will occur. It’s common sense, though, that the more money you lose the longer it will take to earn that money back. Why not just prevent big losses in the first place? Not all advisors preach Buy and Hold. Some realize the secret to greater stock market returns starts with a fanatical focus on minimizing your losses. I’ve invented a money management system designed to How Directory Listing Boosts Real Estate Sales The financial services industry has duped unsuspecting investors out of millions of dollars. For decades, they’ve said the best way to invest was to buy an investment and hold it decades. I think they’re crazy!The real estate industry is a competitive one, and as a player in that market, you’ve got to play every edge that you can find. You’ve got your listings on MLS, submitted your ads to the newspaper classifieds, bought space in local realty For Sale magazines and even set up your own website. Now you need to maximize your exposure by getting the word out about the service that you offer. Listing your real estate related web site with a real estate directory is an excellent way to help drive targeted traffic to your website.< The key to greater stock market returns is a little-known secret shared by some of the most successful stock market traders. It is simply this: better returns begin by minimizing losses. That’s right. It’s not some undiscovered method for finding that special stock that will go up 1,000%. It’s not digging through the near-microscopic footnotes on a company’s balance sheet. It isn’t reading technical charts in an attempt to anticipate the future. All of these methods can be used to help select which investment to buy. The key is what you do after you buy it. Brokerage firms and their army of advisors have been preaching the wonderful benefits of Buy and Hold for decades. It’s been taught in colleges and the courses advisors are required to take in order to earn advanced designations. Buy and Hold has been supported by legions of mutual fund and insurance company representatives. These ‘wholesalers’ sell your broker or advisor on recommending their products instead of their competitor’s. They produce beautiful brochures that show an investor will suffer irreparable harm if the 5 best days each year are missed–but more on that later. Buy and Hold is based on historical returns. The historical return on equities over the last 30 years has been roughly 10%. It’s these historical percentages that are used by most financial planning software to help project how much you need to save in order to retire or how to divide your portfolio so your money lasts longer than you. If these assumptions are wrong you will have to work longer before you can retire. You will have to live with less during your retirement. Millions of retirees have been forced to go back to work in the last few years because they believed these assumptions. These assumptions are based on the belief that low short-term market returns will ‘revert to their historical mean’ over time. In other words, just because the market didn’t earn 10% this year or the year before that or the year before that (!), just ‘hang in there’ because eventually you will earn the historical average. Buy and Hold demands you do nothing while your investments lose 20-50% or more of their value. Buy and Hold is why your advisor expects you to “just hang in there.” You may recover those losses, but how long will it take? How come the advisors using charts that show decimated returns because the 5 best days were missed each year never show a chart of what would happen if the opposite occurred? What if the 5 worst days each year were missed? They don’t show you just such that chart because they don’t know what would happen. They’ve never looked into it. They just toe the party line. A study done by Birinyi & Associates measured staying fully invested from 1966 to 2001 versus if missing the 5 worst days each year. The Buy and Hold return period was 1,071% meaning $10,000 grew to $107,100. The return of missing the 5 worst days each year was a whopping 98,612%.That means $10,000 grew to $9,861,200!

Whether for it or against it, most people I speak to have fairly strong feelings about its use.Some hope that regulations or changes to the tax codes will stop businesses from using it. They hope to see fewer local jobs lost as a a result. Others see it as the only way to compete in a global economy and save their enterprise. I believe it is going to become increasingly more prevalent. Further, it's going to take the jobs from many people who have so far escaped its impact.

However, we can’t and won’t please everyone all the time and we shouldn’t try to. What then, do we do with negative feedback?I recently had the opportunity to take a 360Reach assessment, which is designed to help me identify my branding position based on how others see me.
