Buying stocks can be overwhelming…
The five W’s — Who, What, When, Where, and Why — can lead to analysis paralysis in most people. A recent Bankrate survey confirmed as much: less than half of American adults have any money in stocks at all.
And I’m not just talking about regular stock traders — that percentage includes those who have 401(k)s and IRAs. In fact, one out of every three Americans has ZERO retirement savings. Zip, zilch, nada…
Even Americans who have taken steps to secure that future aren’t doing much better: 23% have less than $10,000 saved. That may get you through a couple of months, but it’s a far cry from a comfortable retirement.
These are alarming statistics to say the least. You can’t bury your head in the sand and expect your money to magically grow. You need to do something about it.
Simply put, to live a fulfilling retirement, you need to own stocks.
But I completely understand why folks are so scared and confused when it comes to playing the market. It’s hard enough for me, and I spend practically all my time researching and writing about it. Even with all I’ve learned and all of the diligence I do in my research, in the end buying stocks is still more of an art form than a science.
That’s why I’ve come up with one easy way to invest that takes all of the anxiety out of the process…
And there is plenty of anxiety to go around.
Depending on your age, you’ve likely seen at least two to three stock market crashes: Black Monday of 1987, the Dot-Com crash of the early 2000s and, of course, the 2008 sub-prime mortgage crisis which led to the worst economic crash since the great depression.
So it’s no surprise that most Americans sat out the recent market boom; they were shell-shocked. I don’t blame them…
But the shrewd investors who jumped right back in as the market bottomed in March of 2009 made a killing. The S&P 500 is up 206% since then. Check out this beautiful chart:
You could have more than tripled your money on about any stock you chose…
It isn’t really up for debate: you need exposure to stocks, plain and simple. But you also need exposure to precious metals, bonds, and options. But this is where it really gets tricky…
- Roughly $170 billion worth of stock is traded on the NYSE each day the markets are open
- The gold market trades roughly $22 billion daily
- More than $400 billion is traded in the bond market
- The foreign exchange market, where currencies trade, is worth more than $4 trillion a day
- The largest U.S. options exchange (CBOE) trades millions of contracts daily, with a value in the billions
These are some of the largest, most complex financial markets in the world. So what do you choose, and how do you diversify your portfolio?
The problem is, unless you have a PhD in economics, these fields are practically impossible to navigate.
That’s why this new approach I’ve found allows anyone — even if you’ve never bought a stock in your life — to take advantage of all of these markets at the same time.
I’ve discovered a way to “hack” some of Wall Street’s biggest, most profitable trades… and take a “cut” of the money without doing any of the work. You don’t need to know much of anything about finance to take advantage of this “hack” and profit from nearly every U.S. financial market with one simple trade.
The best part is that it’s totally legal, and it’s cheap to get into — you can get started right now for less than $100.
