Mechanical Stock Investing

Are you - like most investors - losing over 50% of your stock market returns to emotional mistakes ? (Source Dalbar Inc)

Mutual Funds are not any better: 80% of them underperform Index Funds or Exchanged Traded Funds ETFs.

Combining mutual funds' tragic underperformance and investors' deadly emotional mistakes leads most of us to very poor investment returns.

There are better strategies than Indexing

Stock Market Indexing is a possible answer but do you know how the S&P500 Index is built ?

Well, stocks are mainly selected on the basis of liquidity, market capitalization and sector diversification. Nothing suggests that this is a superior stock investing strategy.

Now, what makes an Index superior to most investors is the consistency of the stock selection process, in good or bad times.

Indexing works because of discipline and lower fees, not better stock selection.

In fact, some Indexes do consistently beat others (Value Indexes beat Growth Indexes). Therefore, there are some stock selection strategies that provide superior returns.

Successful Investing

If you can invest in a mutual fund that:
  • has low fees similar to Index Funds or ETFs,

  • is managed in an unemotional way,

  • follows stock picking strategies that consistently beat the market.
