Description
How would you like to own a certificate of deposit with returns that actually BEAT the stock market? Something so reliable that it’s a great way to invest that part of your portfolio that you absolutely can not afford to lose… yet you still get a great return? Well, I’ve got something even better, and I’ll tell you all about it RIGHT NOW. I’m Bryan Ellis, and this is Episode #111---------Hello, SDI Nation! Welcome to the podcast of record for smart, individual investors!I didn’t get to be with you on Friday, and I really missed that! But boy did I have a great time with some of your colleagues and fellow listeners at our Passive Property Flipping Summit. That event was for affluent investors seeking to deploy their capital into passive real estate flipping opportunities, and it was an extraordinary experience. The event filled up many weeks ahead of time and it was just truly wonderful to actually meet so many of you face-to-face!My friends, I’ve got some great info to share, and I’ll get to that in about 30 seconds. But first, let me say THANK YOU for listening! This podcast is only about 6 months old and it’s already a major force to be reckoned with because of YOU. It’s astounding how many other shows feel the need to respond to what I say, because what I teach is completely counter to the advice given by others who have a conflict of interest. And heck, there are a lot of shows that are now rather directly ripping off my material now. Yes, my friends, what you’re now hearing is SHOW PREP for the other shows you listen to. Hehehehe You know what they say… imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Until the cease-and-desist letter, that is. HeheheheheBut seriously, we’re doing so well because of YOU, and I’m SO VERY GRATEFUL to you. Nobody would care about what I have to say if YOU didn’t care about what I have to say… and so really, YOU are the hero, the person of influence, in this situation. And I’m so grateful to you.So, I’m going to give you some great value yet again today!Here we go:It would be great if there was a bank that would issue a CD that could beat – or even equal – the long-term average of the stock market.Well, my friends, such a CD does not exist, as you know. But something that’s BETTER actually does exist.And before I tell you about it, let’s determine what is ACTUALLY the long-term return of the stock market. What would you guess? A lot of people think that number is 10% or 12%. What do you think?Well, my friends, let’s look at the actual numbers, shall we?We’ll use a period of 80 years, because that’s the average lifespan of an American citizen. And over the last 80 years, the compounded annual growth rate for BOTH the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 has been in the 6% range.Surprising, isn’t it? Much lower than you guessed, no doubt. But the news is worse than that. Around 6% is what the MARKET has averaged. The results for the typical investor in stocks has been FAR WORSE.There’s a fascinating study that’s published every year called Dalbar’s Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior. Sounds like a great read, doesn’t it? Hehehehe. Well, there is one particular piece of information in that you MUST pay attention to:The average investor who invests in stocks does NOT achieve a 6% rate of return. Far from it. According to Dalbar, the average 30-year annualized rate of return is a whopping 1.9%.Yes, you heard that right: 1.9%.How could that be? The painful truth is that you and I aren’t very good at stock picking or timing. Remember – that magical 76 number is based on the assumption that you put money in 80 years ago, and that you leave that investment alone for the entire 80 years following. But is that reality? No, of course not.Folks, do you remember back as recently as 2008… a year when there were 3 SEPARATE days when the entire S&P500 fell by about 9%? It was a bloodbath. Or do you remember back to Black Monday – October 19, 1987 – when the E
