Consumer borrowing is out of control. The number of people fi To help me formulate this list, I considered some of the absolutely useless investment strategies I had learned at the world’s leading investment firms as well as the ridiculous focus of some boutique firms I had spoken to when formulating the long tail investment strategies that constitute the curriculum of my SmartKnowledgeU™ campus. (1) I’m not a fan of mutual funds. I know all about their hidden expenses besides the overt fees they charge, plus I don’t like the fact that a lot of foreign mutual funds take a beating whenever the masses have the slightest fear about a pullback in the markets.

Look at all the great individual investors that were able to build wealth by determining what assets were the best and then concentrating their investments in just a few asset classes. Even if you tell me ,”Look at Warren Buffet who was a buy and hold buyer”, today we live in different investment times. The horse and buggy was the best way to get around at one time but not anymore.
