Profit & Peace of Mind – No Matter What's Happening in the Market

Were you shocked by the stock market’s sudden fall earlier this year? In just 16 trading days (February 19-March 23), stocks got slammed, moving from an all-time high to a new bear market. The market has never fallen so far so fast.

Because it’s human nature to feel the pain of loss to a much greater degree than the satisfaction of a similar gain, it would be understandable if that scary period left you feeling unnerved.

Just as remarkably, shortly after the market’s stunning fall, it staged an incredible comeback. But in September, things started getting wobbly again. Volatility remains extremely high and much economic uncertainty remains.

It’s been a crazy year in the market, that’s for sure.

If you’re feeling nervous about your investments, you’re not alone. That’s why we created the free training workshop Profit & Peace of Mind — No Matter What’s Happening in the Market.

In it, you’ll discover a surprisingly simple way to protect against sharp downturns and navigate periods of high volatility, safeguarding your savings — and your sanity!

Our strategies demonstrate a track record of protecting the health of investor portfolios — and their sanity!

In a strong bull market, such as the one that stretched from March of 2009 all the way until February of this year, it’s almost impossible not to make money. Everything seems to grow and investing can seem easy. But bear markets, recessions, and times of extreme volatility are a whole different story. All the ups and downs can be hard to take, financially and emotionally.

That’s why you’ll find our free online training well worth your time. In the midst of so much continued uncertainty, you’ll discover how Sound Mind Investing’s Dynamic Asset Allocation (DAA) strategy steers investors out of harm’s way when necessary while also indicating when it’s safe to invest more aggressively again.

This completely objective, rules-based strategy has a demonstrated track record of protecting the health of investor portfolios — and their sanity!

Over the past 20 years (2000-2019), the U.S. stock market generated an average annual return of just 6.4%. Its performance was held back by two significant bear markets. But during that same timeframe, DAA would have generated an average annual return of 10.1%.*

Its remarkable performance — through both bull and bear markets — demonstrates a vastly under appreciated truth about investing: How well you navigate falling markets is even more important to your long-term success than how well you capitalize on rising markets.

The harsh math of investing means that a -50% loss, which the U.S. stock market experienced in both the 2000-2002 and 2007-2009 bear markets, requires a +100% gain…just to get back even!

SMI can help you avoid falling into this type of hole during the next bear market. Learn the details in our free training, Profit & Peace of Mind, No Matter What’s Happening in the Market.
