Stop Fishing in the Wrong Pond!
From Baltimore – This will be one of our most-read Sunday Oxford Insight articles. And perhaps one of our most-watched Market Wake-Up Call videos, too.
Why? Because today we have Club Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green as our guest.
And Alex is going to reveal an investment truth that I bet not 1 in 20 investors – even seasoned ones – realizes about where to find the best returns right now.
Many of you joined the Club because of an invitation from Alex. He is the Editor of our flagship publication, The Oxford Communiqué, and the strategist behind several of our premium research and trading services. He’s also a chief steward of our Pillars of Wealth investment system.
If you’re new to the Club, please review our proprietary investment system first. It will ensure that you’ve optimized your foundational asset allocation portfolio. It’s a great place to start.
Once you have that foundational portfolio in place, you’ll be ready to “accelerate your retirement” by ratcheting up your short-term profits. And that’s where today’s Market Wake-Up Call comes in.
In it, Alex reveals why most investors looking for quick profits are so frustrated. They’re losing their savings. And traders are losing their shirts.
They’re all fishing for huge short-term gains, which we at the Club fully endorse. But they’re fishing in the wrong pond!
In today’s Market Wake-Up Call, Alex and Associate Franchise Publisher and host Rachel Gearhart discuss why gambling with your money – for example, by investing in penny stocks or bankrupt companies like Hertz – is a terrible idea. There’s a far better strategy for investing in cheap stocks to get outstanding returns in the short term. And I’m frankly astonished that so many investors and traders are completely oblivious to it.
Alex put it this way:
Imagine you’re in a fishing contest. Let’s say you have five lakes… four of them are in public places. Every Tom, Dick and Harry fishes in these lakes. They’re easy to get to. But these lakes are also well-known, crowded and overfished. What’s more, the competition is fierce to catch the big fish. That’s the S&P 500.
Now… tucked away, there’s one private lake. It’s loaded with fish because nobody knows about it. And monster catches are everywhere. If you want to get the big fish, that’s where you want to be.
It’s the same with the stock market. The problem that most investors have is they’re investing in the wrong place! Everyone fishes in the same crowded lakes. The S&P 500. Blue chips. Stocks you hear about on CNBC. You’re competing with hedge funds… billionaires… high-frequency traders. That’s no way to get an edge!
Instead, Rachel and Alex show you how to fish in “your own private lake” using microcaps.
Just take a look at the chart below. It shows that the Russell Microcap Index has significantly outperformed large cap stocks in this year’s historic market rally.
And there’s no shortage of winners, either. More than 230 microcap stocks have returned more than 1,000% over the past year. How many S&P 500 stocks have done that?
None!
Alex describes the five criteria he uses to identify the best microcap opportunities in good businesses that are great bargains. He urges investors who are looking to accelerate the growth of their retirement portfolios to take a look at his microcap research.
There is no one better qualified to lead you to the right investment pond today than Alex Green (assisted by Rachel, an avid fly fisherwoman herself!). After all, Alex is the author of the bestseller The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio: Get Wise, Get Wealthy… and Get on With Your Life, which is available on Amazon. I highly recommend that all Members who are new investors start by reading this investing classic.
