My investment strategy is SO boring an SO easy. I talk about investing all the time, but I almost NEVER actually DO anything.
I started PFC back in January of 2019. Just since then we’ve had to contend with the COVID crash/recession, inflation spike, 2022 bear market, AI bubble volitility, and now the tariff trade war. Every time, investors said “This time is different”. And guess what. They were right. EVERY TIME is different. Things that have never happened before are constantly happening. That is the nature of the world. But still, all these things have some similarities too. One similarity for me is that I never DO anything about it.
While the headlines can be scary, there’s always an underlying truth. In order for the modern world to continue to operate, we depend on companies. Those companies, by definition, must profit or they will cease to exist. So as long as you’re betting on the modern world operating, buying the companies of the world means you’ll own profitable investments.
Of course there’s some volatility layered on top of that underlying truth. The volatility is a result of speculators buying and selling trying to predict the short term future. But that type of behavior is a fool’s errand. The wise, disciplined, long term investor buys and holds for decades, riding out all that short term noise while removing all the stress and effort from their lives. That’s exactly what I do!
As always, reminding you to build wealth by following the two PFC rules: 1.) Live below your means and 2.) Invest early and often.
