CHAPTER ONE

WHAT IS YOUR INVESTING STRATEGY?

This book has been written to provide education and information about three conservative investment strategies that the professionals on Wall Street use, but that are probably unknown to the average retail investor.

However, before we actually delve into these strategies and how you will be able to use these strategies as part of your overall investment strategy, I want to take just a little time and present a dialog to you that I typically have with my students at the beginning of my Stock Landlord™ seminar…

------------------------------------------------------------

Me: “What is your investing strategy?”

Students: “Well, to make money, of course!”

Me: “That’s all fine and good, but exactly how are you planning on making that money?”

Students: “Invest in stocks or mutual funds and then sell them later.”

Me: “OK – sounds good as long as those stocks or mutual funds continue to go higher. But what’s your strategy when the stocks and mutual funds just sit there and go sideways, or go down?”

Students: “Well, we’ll just continue to buy more shares at the cheaper prices and reduce our break-even point. Then, when the stocks and mutual funds rally, we won’t have as far to go before we’re back even again.”

Me: “What if it takes a year or more? What if it takes 5 years for your stock to recover? Even if you continue to pour more money into your investment by purchasing more shares at a cheaper price, the real question is this: Are you making any money? Of course, the answer is No. Yes, you are receiving quarterly dividends from the stock (maybe), but you are surely not increasing the value of your portfolio if the stock price does not go up in value.”

“Let me ask you a question – let’s pretend that your investment portfolio is a house that you hope will appreciate in value so you can sell it. Just to make the math easy, let’s pretend that your house is valued at $100,000. Then, for no apparent reason, a new property valuation is issued on your property and you discover that your house is now worth only $50,000.”

“Are you going to continue to put money into that house – to buy new carpet and install a swimming pool, while you wait for the real estate values to go back up?”

“The answer for most people is, of course, a resounding ‘No!’ – they see the futility in continuing to pour money into an investment that is not going to give them a payback in a reasonable amount of time.”

“Isn’t your investment in the stock market very similar to your investment in that house? If you’re not going to continue pouring money into the investment house when it declines in value, why in the world would you continue to pour money into a stock as it continues to lose value?”

------------------------------------------------------------

The answer to the last question is simply this – the average investor simply does not know any other method for making money in the stock market except for the old “buy low, sell high” strategy. He/she doesn’t know any way to generate cash flow from his/her portfolio if the stocks don’t go up in value.

WELL, MY FRIEND, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER, STARTING NOW!

I would like to congratulate you on taking the first step toward becoming a Stock Landlord™. After reading the information in this manual, you will know the basics about how you can literally “rent out” and “insure” your stocks – two concepts that are, most likely, foreign to the average investor.

As I’ve mentioned, most investors today only know one method for making money in the stock market – the familiar “buy low, sell high” or “buy and hold” strategy. The problem with both of these strategies is that the stock must go up for you to make money.

If you buy a stock at $25 and it essentially stays at $25, you won’t make any money with the “buy low, sell high” strategy.

However, once you have mastered the concepts involved with becoming a Stock Landlord™, you will have learned new strategies that will let you:

• Generate cash flow by “renting out” your stock.
• “Insure” your stock against adverse market moves
• “Lock in” any profits that you’ve made as your stock moves higher...

Each of the strategies you will learn when you become a Stock Landlord™ is considered to be more conservative than just owning shares of stock outright. This is because each of the strategies you’re about to learn has some amount of downside protection.

In other words, each of the Stock Landlord™ strategies puts a “safety net” under your shares of stock. Because these strategies are so safe and conservative, the IRS allows these strategies to be used in your Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
