The performance of the market the last 10 years makes one thing crystal clear. The buy and hope strategy has failed miserably.
Even in light of the failure of the buy and hold strategy, the great majority of commission based brokers continue to tout it as the answer to building wealth. We at Gerritz Wealth couldn't disagree more. Even traditional asset allocation models have failed. The bear market of the 2000's saw all asset classes, with the exception of US Treasuries, fall dramatically. While the market has rallied this year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is still down more that 25% from the high in 2007.
Investors at Gerritz Wealth Management, Inc. have one thing that most investors don't have. That one thing is capable of delivering peace of mind and the promise of a more secure retirement. That one thing is a system of risk management. If you do not have an advisor that helps protect your account from large loses during periodic market downturns you may face more disappointments in the future.
