The Secret to BIG Stock Market Profits

Over the past year or so, my colleagues and I have been involved in a long-term debate with each other and the rest of the investing world.

We all work together and respect each other’s expertise, but that doesn’t mean we all think exactly the same.

And pretty much every one of us has a different view of exactly how and when the next bull market starts.

Some of us are pretty sure we’re already in it. Some think it’s just around the corner. And some think it’s a year or more away.

But I’m here today to tell you that it doesn’t matter which one of us is right. It doesn’t even matter if any of us are right, to be honest.

And it doesn’t matter when the stock market will put in a long-term bottom, either.

That’s because you don’t have to time the market to be a successful investor.

You just have to follow one INCREDIBLY simple rule…

Just Keep Buying

Literally all you have to do is just keep on investing in the market.

Don’t stop because prices are falling. If anything, accelerate your buying when that’s happening.

And don’t be afraid to put money into a market that’s been on a hot streak for a decade, either.

Even if you’re buying the absolute peak right before a crash, you can bet that within a few years, that peak will be far lower than where the market will be.

Don’t believe me? I get it.

We’re constantly bombarded with people trying to tell us how to use this technical indicator or that economic data point to predict exactly when the market will rally and when it will sink.

But I’m speaking nothing but truth here. And I’ve got the data to back it up…

15 in 50

Over the past 50 years, between 1973 and today, there have been 15 bear markets, flash crashes, or outright market collapses that affected markets in the U.S.

So I went back and calculated what would have happened if an investor had put money into the market right before every single one of them.

Basically, I simulated the worst investor in the world.

I started with a $10,000 initial investment in January 1973 and then simulated a person who went in big at the absolute peak right before every market crash in the past 50 years.

I put a hypothetical $10,000 more into my model portfolio at every short-term pre-crash peak.

So starting with $10,000 and adding $10,000 right before those 15 crashes, my hypothetical terrible investor wagered $160,000 total.

That works out to an average annual investment of $3,200, relatively easy for most people to make.

And today, that hypothetical portfolio where I invested $160,000 at the absolute worst times to invest…

That portfolio is worth a whopping $1,076,855.65, for a total gain of 573%!

Even the Worst Win Big

How’s that for a statement on the power of steady investing?

The worst market timer in the world would be looking at a 573% gain over the past 50 years.

The worst investor in the history of investing would still be sitting on over a million dollars!

That’s someone who bought the absolute top of every short-term bull market.

And it’s proof that even the investor with the absolute worst market timing will still be profitable if they hold onto their investments for the long term.

It shows that it doesn’t matter what the markets do in the short term as long as you’re investing for the long run.

You can literally be the worst investor in history and if you refuse to sell for a loss, you’ll eventually end with a BIG gain!

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

So don’t sweat it if you got the market move wrong after this most recent Fed meeting.

And don’t worry if you were buying every single “local” top over the past few years.

Six or seven years from now, all those buys are going to be back in the black. Probably even sooner.

So don’t sweat that short-term stuff. Just keep buying and you’re going to be looking very smart.

And if you want to look even smarter, keep following me and my colleagues here at Wealth Daily and our sister publications, Energy and Capital and Outsider Club.

We’ll be here to help you identify breakthrough trends and breakout industries that will help you grow that bottom line even more.

To your wealth,
