A financial guru once told me that the best stock investors know how to make money in the market whether it's going up, down or sideways. Of course its also important to be able to "know" if the market is going up, down, or sideways. If you are just "guessing" the market, you most likely end up losing your investment.
In reality, most people have their money in a 401 (k), IRA or similar plan and the only way for those people to make money is when the market goes up. They do not have the ability to move their money into any other vehicle that can take advantage of market volatility. As a consequence their money never "earns" enough in the market due to market volatility. The market was great for most people last year as it returned a huge gain, however, 2018 has started out very volatile and the markets are down 4-5%. Never mind any fees you paid along the way.
If you are tired of trying to guess what the market is going to do and want your money to be protected from market volatility, so that you can actually get your money to earn something for you to retire on, please contact me.
As a CPA I want everyone to be able to retire with enough money and in the lowest (0% is possible) tax bracket.
