Investment mistakes are very easy to make, even when you take a logical approach to the market. That said, who among us is 100 percent logical all the time? Most people in or near retirement would rather not spend hours a day studying market trends, money flows, and reading detailed reports. That's why you offload that task to a professional.

But the market went UP on election day, proving one important thing: the market is RARELY logical! But does that mean YOU can't take a logical approach to your investments? Not at all!

As Trumponomics comes to a close and Bidenomics begins, investors don’t really need to predict which set of economic policies will work the best to stimulate the economy—at least not for a while yet. Experts say it will take six to twelve months or longer to begin to see the effects of most of Biden’s economic moves. In the meantime, whose policies will end up looking better when history is the judge--Trump, or Biden? Most logical thinkers know that reining in job-killing government restrictions, lowering taxes for both job-creating corporations and tax paying Americans, and creating trade deals that bring and KEEP more factories right here in America, is a more sure path to long term economic success for OUR nation as a whole. But logic is not always the sure path to making money in the stock market. You need to know where the big boys are going, like Goldman Sachs, the Fed, and JP Morgan. We have a Barrons report on that for you today and Steve will review adjustments being made to the Black Diamond and Blue Diamond portfolios...an important show you don't want to miss...MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!!!
