Fear-Based Investing…Never a Good Idea (S3 E10)
Manage episode 485257371 series 3571300
S3 E10: One trait that’s nearly universal among investors is fear. Given the inherent uncertainties in investment outcomes, investors frequently seek strategies that promise a higher degree of control over their portfolios. These strategies range from simple to complex trading methodologies, as well as various insurance-based investment products. Buyer beware!
Jeff Harrell has observed numerous attempts by investors to "protect" their investments using stop-loss orders, annuities, option trading, and more. Although such strategies appear advantageous in theory, their practical implementation often yields unexpected and disappointing results. As you will hear him reiterate, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Rather than attempting to eliminate fear, investors must learn to manage fear by accepting volatility— which will likely lead to superior long-term results.
