Why Advisors Fail Have you heard this Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) pitch? “Buy a diversified mix of funds calculated to limit risk and exceed market returns. Hold them for the long term. Annually, ‘re-balance’ your portfolio by buying more of your losing positions and selling your winners.” MPT is the cash cow for the multi-billion dollar financial advice industry. When they keep your money, they collect administration fees.
MPT failed in 2000-2003 and is failing now, because it doesn't work in real markets. There is a time to sell. Mathematician-economist Benoit Mandlebrot tells you why.

Over 50? You Can't Afford Large Losses Holding for the long term works only if you have a couple of decades to recoup losses from bad years. Five years passed before the S&P 500 recovered from the 2000-2003 crash. Then fifteen years of gains were lost in 2008. People approaching retirement could not recover.
When did your broker call? The current market decline began the week of July 30 2007.When did your broker call to tell you to go to cash? Advisors and analysts are not trained to deal with bear markets. Selling is your best protection. You keep your money, calm your emotions, and can think clearly while you take the time to make rational decisions on where next to invest. Stock analysts are no help either.
