in this video we're going to talk about the primary mistake most investors make
[9]
and how we can fix it I found it a firm whose sole purpose is to share with Main
[15]
Street some of the investing rules that wall street has been keeping to itself
[18]
now we've all seen the market enter hot streaks when a market becomes overpriced
[24]
and then stays over price there's a name for that it's called a bull market now
[30]
we've all seen bull markets they appear in individual stocks and indexes and
[34]
commodities in real estate just about every asset that trades can experience
[40]
momentum driven bull market in fact it's the very nature of markets to exhibit
[45]
momentum because it's a very nature of humans that chase return now
[50]
unfortunately it's this pattern of bull markets and bear markets that actually
[55]
plays into the key mistake most investors make let's examine the mistake
[60]
for a moment and discuss how we can avoid it as you watch more videos I'll
[65]
explain why it is that both value investing and momentum investing deliver
[70]
returns that are better than index investing but for right now I'm going to
[74]
highlight a mistake that we all make that I call value momentum investing
[80]
when a stock or an index is trending higher and higher it's normal for to
[86]
start getting a lot of attention the people that own it are telling their
[90]
friends how much money they're making the talking heads on CNBC are putting up
[94]
pretty graphs let's just say the investment hits our radar now if we
[99]
don't buy it right away a common course of action is to wait for a pullback to
[104]
get invested the feeling is and we've all been there this is a rocket going to
[109]
the moon and we need to get on but because the stock has already gone up a
[114]
hundred percent in the last three months we decide will wait to see if we can buy
[118]
it at a lower price now ironically the worst thing that can
[123]
happen to us during this time is the stock actually falls in price because if
[127]
it does and we see it we buy the stock and that's when the losses start what
[133]
have we just done we just used a value rationale to buy a momentum investment
[140]
now don't get me wrong we didn't use any actual valuation calculations we didn't
[145]
construct a discounted cash flow model we didn't look at any financial
[148]
statements we just consider the investment to be a value now because its
[152]
twenty percent cheaper than it was two weeks ago unfortunately and this is the
[157]
reality that we miss as investors the momentum investors that run Wall Street
[162]
are now done with the stock do that twenty percent price drop that enticed
[166]
us to buy the momentum is gone in fact those guys probably just sold us the
[172]
shares that we just bought so now there are still no value investors buying the
[178]
stock and the momentum investors we're only selling the stock so the price goes
[182]
dramatically lower and we take a major loss as an investor we can't value
[189]
momentum invest if we do we will lose real money now there are plenty of
[195]
places on the internet that will teach you how to value invest if you want to
[200]
learn how to do that I'm here to tell you that now thanks to exchange traded
[205]
funds or ETFs momentum investing is more effective than value investing and it's
[210]
much easier to implement and I'm here to help you it's not as hard as you might
[215]
think I know first certain that you can do this effectively in your own
[219]
brokerage account if you just follow a few simple rules so sign up give away
[225]
all of the rules of my website you can even sign up to receive free portfolios
[230]
delivered right to your inbox don't miss out on this opportunity it's extremely
[236]
important that we implement these ideas before the next market collapse in my
[242]
next video we will talk about that market collapse and discuss how we can
[246]
be prepared for it.
