I'm here today to show you how to make money in the market in 2023.
Because 2022 was a year that most investors would just as soon forget.
The S&P 500 declined 19.4%. Midcap and small cap stocks fell sharply too.
The U.S. bond market just had its worst year in history. (The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index dropped 13%.)
Treasurys fell sharply as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates at the fastest pace in decades.
(Despite these hurricane-force headwinds, I'm happy to report that - despite profits and losses along the way - we are currently sitting on dozens of profitable positions in our Oxford investment portfolios in my flagship publication,
The Oxford Communiqué.)
It was a rare year that tested the mettle of even the most sophisticated investors.
And led novice investors to conclude that asset allocation and diversification simply don't work.
That's not true, of course.
Over short periods of time, there can be remarkable correlation in the prices of equities and fixed income securities, on both the upside and the downside.
But over the longer term they diverge, allowing investors to outperform by asset allocating and rebalancing.
That's the whole point of our
Gone Fishin' Portfolio.
It outperformed the S&P 500 this past year and I expect it will thrive in the year ahead.
When I created the Gone Fishin' Portfolio two decades ago - the most conservative one in my Oxford Communiqué - I asked Members a question...
If I could show you a way to manage your money yourself, using a strategy as powerful and effective as any used by the nation's top financial institutions... that will allow you to outperform the vast majority of investment professionals... that imposes zero sales charges,
brokerage fees or commissions... that takes less than 20 minutes a year to implement... and is based on an investment strategy so sophisticated it won the Nobel Prize in economics, would you be interested?
The answer was a resounding "Yes!"
(My book on the strategy - out just a few years later - became an immediate New York Times bestseller. A revised and updated edition - with a new foreword by Bill O'Reilly - came out in 2021.
