Lazy Portfolios for Lazy Investors.
June 11, 2008
This market is tough enough to invest in if you’re an experienced, educated, involved, active investor.
But what if you’re a PASSIVE investor? One of the 95 million in the U.S. who doesn’t take an active role in managing his/her portfolio? What do you do them?
How about investing in a “Lazy Portfolio”?
What’s a “Lazy Portfolio” you may ask? Well, it’s an already-built portfolio of funds/stocks/bonds/etc. that you just invest in – passively. You don’t have to time the market or actively invest. You just put your money in and let it ride.
That’s the premise behind the portfolios that Paul B. Farrell wrote about today on MarketWatch.com.
Paul put the idea out there that in a bad market, such as the one we’re in now, investing in a passive “Lazy Portfolio” just might be a good idea.
To prove his point, he highlighted 8 portfolios created by a wide range of people – from super successful investment managers to top brokers to an 8-year-old second-grader!
And guess what? ALL of these passive portfolios beat the S&P 500 in the past year! Plus, every one is beating the S&P 500 in the 3-year and 5-year periods, too!
So, if you’re passive about your investing, you just might want to check out these “Lazy Portfolios”. Who knows? They could be the easiest way to build your wealth.
