I think it was Abraham Lincoln who said, "God must love poor people because he made so many of them." Personlly, I'm sticking with what my father once told me, "It is better to be rich and healthy than to be poor and sick." Or as my children say, "Poverty sucks."
Wall Street tends to put the smartest money managers in charge of the most wealth;
but brains cannot overcome the natural fact of life - that small things grow faster - and big things grow slowest, or die. And i suppose that very few of them truly understand the effect of size on growth rates.
In fact, do you know what some of the supposed “geniuses” do? They weight a portfolio based on the market cap of the companies they hold! So, the larger the market cap of the companies they pick, the more they will invest, which is exactly backwards - of how it should be done!
They should, instead, invest the most money in the things - that have the greatest potential to move up in value!
They should, instead, invest the most money in the smaller - companies, and in smaller markets, such as gold and silver!
Sometimes, there is one organization in charge of managing - over $211 billion dollars, such as with CalPERS - the retirement fund of California State employees. But putting one entity in charge of too much wealth - is as bad as price fixing or central planning - and the free market will outperform large central planning - every time. (The free market outperforms because people who are responsible for their own wealth are far more productive - than wasteful and inefficient central planning.)
So, one of the untrue myths of Wall Street is - “you can’t beat the market”. But in fact, you should expect to significantly outperform - the market, because you are not as large as, and certainly not larger than, the market!
Your greatest edge is your small size.
So, the biggest reason that bonds are going down in value - is that the bond market is too big! $30 trillion?
And the biggest reason why silver is going up in value - is because the silver market is so small! $1-5 billion? by Jason
