Lessons from successful investors

 

Why is staying in the stock markets the safest investment strategy?

Over the long term, this strategy is the best for most investors. Why; because the stock markets can provide 10%-12% a year over time. The stock market can return +38% and -37% (1980-2023). A broad comprehensive portfolio may provide a more balanced approach. The Callan Periodic Table of Investment Returns shows you why. Either way, holding stocks over time beats trying to time the markets. No one has shown how to be successful with the timing strategy for very long—certainly not for a lifetime—IN ADVANCE. Many well-paid advisors claim they have done well buying and selling at the RIGHT time, but every fair study shows it can’t be done. Diversifying your portfolio means maintaining a portfolio of several assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash. This approach has several benefits, including spreading your risk across multiple high-earning low-cost assets. (Vanguards-Top-Ten-mutual-funds/dp/150073909X) In addition, investing in several types of assets gives you exposure to different markets, which can have negative correlations with one another. This helps protect you against volatility as you aren’t concentrated in a single type of investment. Diversifying your portfolio can give you better results while reducing your long-term risk. Most large mutual fund firms can provide you with a way to buy a portfolio of many asset classes. Warren Buffett, one of the most consistent high-return investors, advises to buy and hold a low-cost S&P fund like the Vanguard 500 Fund.

Best way to invest for retirement income

When I was at my first day on the job for an employer, I had no clue about the company retirement plan. Yes, they gave me the papers but they were not in English—legal words for lawyers. I could not decide which investment option to pick. I took the suggestion of the HR person and had them take 6% of my pay into a very conservative fund called a “stable value fund.” This was not a good choice at my age. However, they matched my tax-deferred contribution so I appreciated what I had. Investing at the same amount on a set schedule (payday) was good since I learned later that “dollar-cost averaging” is the best way to invest for the long term unless you have insider info like our representatives. Since no one knows whether the market will be up or down on any given date, it is best to invest on the same day every month. However, I did not learn until later that I should have chosen to invest in a low-cost stock market index fund instead of “stable value.” Stable value funds are for when you are IN retirement not when you have 35-40 to invest! After studying the most successful investors and fund managers, I learned that the best way to invest for retirement is to buy the shares of a cheap stock market index on a monthly basis for the same amount. “Almost no one who is operating honestly can maintain a persistent information edge over the millions of other smart investors who comprise the market.” As Warren Buffett says: "A very low-cost index is going to beat a majority of the amateur-managed money or professionally-managed money."  Fidelity study of millionaire retirees confirms his advice.

Will Social Security benefits be there when you need them?

Congress does not like to spend money for the important things. They like to give defense contractors, oil, gas and coal companies subsidies because that pays their election bills. They like to create tax loopholes so they and their friends do very well. They use insider information that is illegal for us to use. Since the Supremes 2010 decision to treat $ billion companies the same as you and I in terms of election gifts, Congress must do what these companies want. Because there are more old people and fewer working people, SS benefits will be reduced to 78% of normal benefits by 2034 according to SS trustees. Since Congress is unlikely to deal with this collapse of the single most important support for seniors before it is too late, older Americans will be faced with the poverty that existed before SS was created in 1935. Bread lines were daily work for many depression-era out-of-work workers. The wealthy could live overseas untouched and untaxed just like today.

Have you taught your child how to make tax-FREE money?

Make sure you teach your kids how to create wealth the easy way. My parents were not investors. At my first job, I had no clue which investment option to use for my 401k contribution and company match. The HR person told me to put it into the 'safe' stable value fund. That was the worst choice at my age I learned later when I got my securities licenses. If I had followed their advice I would have ended up with $150,000 instead of a Wealth Reserve of $877,233 about 33 years later. I have used this 'Wealth Reserve' as I call it to have funds to buy low-cost insurance, to buy two homes and 5 cars with higher down payments or cash, and now to receive $2,500 a month in retirement supplement. Now your child can build an account that provides tax-FREE retirement income too.

Miracles that made our world

 

Our Universe is a miracle

 

Light is both a particle and a wave depending on how we look at the light.

I don’t think that there is any such thing as a position or a velocity of a particle.

Everything (galaxies to stones) in universe made of subatomic energy ‘vibrations’

A subatomic ‘particle’ is the smallest possible vibration (quantum) of a quantum field.

A ‘particle’ is an event; not an objective thing. This event is set of complex relationships.

New theory may finally unite Einstein's gravity with the quantum world

Our Reality May Be a Sum of All Possible Realities

 

Mass–energy equivalence: E=mc^2.  At the smallest level; Everything is moving

Energy into matter: scientists converted light energy directly into matter in one step

In place of atomic lattice, light waves used to create an optical lattice with same geometry

Physics Nobel Prize: “entanglement” 2 particles share info instantly at a distance

Quantum mechanics violates local realism: two objects behave as single system at distance

New theory: no need for dark matter; dark energy: energy in universe due to erratic spacetime

 

“It may be that gravity and quantum mechanics are exactly the same thing,” Leonard Susskind

Gravity might induce the collapse of quantum vibrations into 1 quantum state—our world

Strange state of physics that allows energy to flow frictionlessly through a material

Bending light from extreme gravity reveals largest black hole so far

Curved SpaceTime: heavy masses and simultaneously quantum effects become visible

There is no TIME at this level because of force fields come and go in all directions. 

Universe expanding: events may not come together like they did before: created our time.

Our planetary system: rarest system: only 1% of all systems with same number of planets

 

Stars fueled by the self-annihilation of dark matter might have been spotted for the first time by JWST

Inside protons, neutrons, it is the fields of the virtual particles that creates its mass.

Gold made from neutron stars: collisions produce more neutrons:79 protons,118 neutrons

The proton is so complicated science still finds new energy entities/forces every year.

 

“Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can’t even measure them.” Space expanding.

New method to study systems with long-range interactions: previously puzzling experts

The electricity we use comes from the field around the wire not from electron itself.

 

Natural ‘missing law’ explain how universe evolved: functions increase in complexity over time

Scientists build 'baby' wormhole as sci-fi moves closer to fact: inside quantum computer

starts-with-a-bang/universe-expansion-not-accelerating/

Physicists knew black holes eventually disappear particle by particle. Now they think everything else does, too.

Astronomers discover raw materials for life are present all across the Universe: methyl cation

New Astrophysical Models: Earth’s Building Blocks Contained Water: metal oxides
