To clarify, when I say buy and hold is the best strategy, I don’t mean buying an index fund and holding it for 5-10 years. I mean carrying a diversified portfolio that is rebalanced/reallocated (managed) by an advisor at least annually. That is really the only way to outperform the market, which is what you are trying to do in the first place. Visit : http://www.evolve-mma.com

They change the stocks when the stock is performing very badly.
This is why! None of these stocks have predictable cash flows unless you are a banker. Are you a banker Reboyle? How do you know which one’s to concentrate on? Even Buffett lost money recently.

What special situations are you talking about? You mean inside info. I have to be a mind reader to figure you out.

quality of revenue- is not losing money. lol
free cash flow-no such thing, in the stock market.

“then study what others do , or find a manger who does know.”–Reboyle
Since you are a manager you tell me. Study what?

You have not told me anyway to make money in the stock market whatsoever.

Now the other guy Bruce up above you now he made sense.

I would give anything to go to Harvard. Not as fortunate as you Reboyle.

Dats Life.

Your partially correct that the DOW and various Indexes do change the stocks that make them up , i.e AIG, Merrill Lynch etc , ones that took 30:1 leverage and CDS risks, are sometimes replaced by the index sponsors , and those indexes have risen or fallen and your holdings get changed as the index changes; but other equities that have predictable cash flow, products that sell and generate revenue which flows down to cash flow,.. these are the ones to concentrate on , along with special situations. Learn what quality of Revenue is, and what free cash flow is, then study what others do , or find a manger who does know.

Yes Bruce Fenton Thank you so much this is one of the only truthful posts on here after Mr. Cuban.

I was led to believe the same. That 45 degree north line graph explains the con. What they do not include is all the stocks that have went bankrupt and they have took out of their precious portfolio. The Dow top 100 switches stocks like Van Damme switches wives.
You have woke me up to maybe the bank managers or low level representatives believe this to be true and just follow the the group(brainwash). Maybe they are not all trying to rip of their clients and actually think they are helping in the long run. I never really realized that until told me about your own predicament.

Ty for the youtube click and for having the fortitude to come forward.

the myth of “buy and hold” is a marketing scheme designed to appeal to citizens

… its all marketing — very little in the investment world is out to actually help the customer

how do I know? because I’ve worked in the business and believed the nonsense myself as well once

What your Financial Advisor isnt telling you…

Mark, I know you probably won’t read this, and I know this comment is unrelated to your blog post, but please hear me out, as I have the biggest challenge for you that you’ve ever faced.

Cleveland needs you, Mark. We have gone 45 years without a major sports championship. That’s 124 seasons (3 major sports franchises) without a winner. YOU are the man that can buy the Cleveland Indians and turn it around.

I’m not sure how else to reach out to you. But I’m hoping to somehow get your opinion on this. To be the man that finally brings a championship to this city…we’d build a bronze statue of you in Public Square.

WEll I put my email out there. Not one legitimate plan to make money in the stock market.

I even had something sent from John Bogle himself or one of his lynchman. Telling me why to hold long term and saying be patient and
all the great investors do it then shows a list of Warren Buffett and other millionaire fund managers.
Well what did I do with this so called “wisdom for investors.”
Well with due diligence I sent it where it belongs in the garbage bin. That and a number of million dollar schemes.
I feel bad for the people that are gullible and believe everything they read. Cause they will be conned and ripped off for sure.
I am too cynical for your traps scam artists. Its sad that there is not one person with honest and helpful advice. And not some SCAM.

What will be the next big thing on the horizon? More security garbage.

The internet is getting a little boring. The same ole same ole. It seems like everything has been done and done.
Will there be some new invention coming in the future or will people regress to the enjoyment of the past??(nature,fishing,hiking)

As a young man, I worked for a bank and later brokerage, and watched and studied what type businesses could borrow money and use the cash flow generated in the business to pay back the loan and leave remaining equity $. I watched which ones could rinse and repeat this process.
Something they don’t offer in college, but I did touch on when I taught is simplisticly valuable.
Then I went out and looked for the same businesses that generated that type of cash flow mentioned above and found ways to buy smaller ones, or found ways to partner with others to by the larger ones, operate them and then later sell them.
Look for repeatable revenues, then look for the amount of repeatable cash flow you think will come from thoses revenues. (FCFR free cash flow rate)
In the 80s it was cable systems, or propane distributorships, then market dominate yellow page books, then communication towers with FCC blessings, lower risk natural gas or oil cash flow properties, and leased Real estate cash flow. Most were sold to public companies or stock swapped. Stocks as an investment, are only good if you know something along the lines above is likely to happen.
I’m looking at deals now.
I’m ready to do it some more. btw, Hi Mark, rboyle@boyleoil.com
