Overview
What kind of shape is your portfolio in?
The financial fallout of recent years was a game changer for anyone and everyone preparing to retire in the near future. In order to build and maintain a solid portfolio in todayās roller-coaster investing climate, you have to be more alert, increasingly proactive, and better educated on the markets than ever before.
In Financial Fitness Forever, Paul Merriman gives you a framework guaranteed to return even the most struggling portfolio to prime health. One of the nationās most popular investment advisors, Merriman has you focus on five critical questions:
- Should I use a financial advisor or go it alone?
- Should I try to beat the market or accept market returns?
- How should I manage risk?
- How should I diversify my investments?
- How should I separate my investments from my emotions?
If you donāt have solid, well-developed answers based on sound investing principles, you need to review your current strategy. Financial Fitness Forever leads you through the process step-by step. Merriman provides detailed answers to each question, all of which combine to form a powerful strategy that will ensure the kind of retirement youāre hoping for.
Merriman doesnāt claim to have the āmagic bulletā answer to supercharging profits in unpredictable markets. Instead, he provides a commonsense strategy anyone can use to secure his or her fi nances now and in the future.
The economy is racing forward at breakneck speed, and no one knows where it will end up. By applying the lessons learned in Financial Fitness Forever, you can design a portfolio that will thrive in the long run.
"Paul Merriman is one really smart guy, but more than that, he is wise. And in investment counseling, I'll take wise over smart any day. He has spent a lifetime learning the techniques that make him an outstanding teacher of investing. Now it's your turn to benefit from his knowledge. Make the most of it."
