You can be on your way to doubling your money in 3 years by trading Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) rather than individual stocks.
DIVERSIFICATION
The most important reason is the diversification that Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) provide. With an individual stock you are exposed to the possibility that one of your stocks could get hit by bad news and plummet in price. It takes a long time to recover from one of these massive hits.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
Skilled Mutual Funds managers spend every day determining which stocks to buy and sell. These managers companies have teams that examine quarterly and annual reports, interview Company executives; visit factories and review market share trends to get know the companies on a comprehensive basis, and avoid buying stocks when they are over-bought from a technical standpoint. There is no way an individual investor can compete with this level of sophistication.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
Mutual Funds are able to take advantage of their buying and selling size to reduce transaction costs. This means a savings for the individual mutual fund investors enabling the individual investor to diversify without paying numerous commission charges involved in buying 15 to 20 individual stocks needed for diversification.
DIVISIBILITY
If someone only has $500 or $1,000 to invest, it is often insufficient to purchase an individual stock, especially after deducting commissions. Investors can buy mutual funds or add to their existing mutual fund holdings with a very small investment to keep their money working for them. With mutual funds, investors can hold fractional amounts as well.
GETTING STARTED
I invest my own money in every one of my Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Funds trading systems. I subscribe to several advisory services to keep my universe of possible investments up to date. I utilize four different pieces of technical analysis software to determine which funds to buy, when to buy, and when it is time to sell.
I employ a strict stop loss and profit-protect methodology to keep my losses small and let my profits run. My approach is biased to the conservative side. I want to constantly upgrade my various mutual fund holdings so that I am holding the best mutual funds available.
Whenever I plan to buy or sell one of my holdings, I send my subscribers an email telling them exactly what I am doing, why I am doing it, and when I am plan to make the trades. I do the work so you don t have to. And, importantly, it will take you less than 30 minutes per month to make the trades with your on-line broker. You too can join me and my fellow investors and double your money in the next 3 years.
