Protecting Your Money During a Market Crash/Correction
When the market had a 10% correction a reader asked if I took a hit.
"…the first week that this market correction took place, I am sure you took a hit? Please talk me through this and tell me how you mitigated the risk."
***
The system I use has built in insurance so I rarely 'take a hit' like most people think.
I hate losing money so I think about risk first, profits second. Here are two (of many) examples of what I mean by "built in insurance":
[+] I only buy my long term stock holdings during a market crash. Said another way, I wait until the stock market has fallen 20-40% and then I buy.
This way I avoid the usual emotional anguish traditional buy and hold investors go through. AND it makes my returns higher over the long term.
Trust, but verify: run the numbers yourself to see if what I said is accurate.
[+] With my short term option trades (the "risky" ones) I only invest 1-2% of my account and I ALWAYS leave over 90% of my money in cash.
So even if the stock market went to zero I'd lose maybe 5-10% of my money.
My losses are always capped at an acceptable rate. Thus, I never feel the need to buy stock insurance or "mitigate my risk" in other ways.
However, when the market had a 10% correction in February of 2018 I did have insurance in place. I actually made money during the correction (it was good fortune as I had no clue the market would fall 10% in February).
I talk about that in the video below and I also show one of the ways you can protect your money during a market crash.
For over 15 years I've been sharing simple but powerful strategies that help investors make and keep more of their money.
If you'd like direction for your investments that will work today, tomorrow and fifteen years from now, check out the programs below...
The Success Academy is my highest end, most comprehensive, and most popular mentorship program.
You get my BEST advice, 4-step trading strategies for any market environment, group webinars, access to my personal trades, and a password protected member's area.
You get group coaching calls with me and my co-trainer. On these calls, and in the member's area, we do a deep dive into your unique personality to find a process that works specific to you (a $500/hr value).
You learn both "option buying" and "option selling"; Calls, Puts, Credit Spreads, Covered Calls, and Cash Secured Puts.
Plus, several thousand in bonuses just for giving it a try with a full money back guarantee. BUT I only accept new clients a few times a year and it's a one-time investment of $3,000 - $5,000.
If you learned all of those strategies from other courses it would cost upwards of $10,000, a few even go as high as $24,000.
And yes, I know those 5 strategies don't sound as sexy and exciting as some of the other stuff that's being promoted online.
It's not about sounding sexy. It's about following a consistent, reliable system that has beaten the market every year...while having less risk (for me at least).
It took a lot of years to fine tune and perfect the process, but now my students are creating financial freedom with a system that takes roughly 10-minutes a day to implement.
Complicated trading systems make you a slave to your computers all day.
If you want to trade from the beach or your lakeside cabin then you need to follow a 10-minute system like the one I use.
The system I use is simple, takes very little brain power, and it can be done in less than 10 minutes a day.
BUT only after you have put in the hard work to learn this skill.
