Every year the markets provide us with lessons on prudent investment strategy. Many times, markets offer investors remedial courses, covering lessons they taught in previous years. That's why one of Larry's favorite sayings is that there's nothing new in investing, only investment history you don't yet know.
Given that the markets had to deal with the COVID crisis, it should not be a surprise that 2020 provided more than the usual share of lessons. As you may note, many of the 16 lessons Larry will cover are repeats from prior years. Unfortunately, too many investors fail to learn them—they keep making the same errors.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine why you should never take more risk than you have the ability, willingness, or need to take
- Recognize why you should expect the unexpected
- Identify why bonds should be for safety
- Distinguish and explain how the stock market and the economy are different animals
- Identify how not to use market valuations to time the market
- List tips for avoiding ACA IRS 1095/1094 penalties
