| Easter is a season of renewal, hope, and fresh starts. It's a reminder that patience and faith - even in uncertain times - can lead to beautiful outcomes. Just like a surprise frost can threaten a budding citrus grove, sudden drops in the market can shake even the most carefully planned portfolios. But seasoned growers don't pull up their roots at the first sign of cold - they trust the process, knowing that temporary setbacks are part of nature's rhythm. In the same way, investors who stay patient and committed during turbulent times often find that their resilience pays off. With time, the sun returns, growth resumes, and the harvest is worth the wait. And just as kids carefully fill their Easter baskets with an assortment of treats, wise investors should think carefully about what goes into their financial "basket." In fact, more than 200 years of market history tell us something profound: A well-diversified portfolio gives you the highest probability of achieving your long-term financial goals. One of the most straightforward and reliable ways to do this is with a low-cost, well-balanced collection of index funds - like Alexander Green's Gone Fishin' Portfolio. It's built to give investors peace of mind, stability, and the freedom to spend more time living - not worrying about every market headline. Now, as Alex has said, this kind of broad diversification - using tax-efficient, ultra-low-cost Vanguard funds and rebalancing once a year - should serve as the foundation of any serious investor's portfolio. But I also understand that for many people, that's just the starting point. |
