3 SURE FIRE WAYS

TO LOSE YOUR SHIRT

IN THE STOCK MARKET
& HOW TO AVOID
THEM
Are you ready for your future? Do you KNOW that you will be able to retire without changing
your lifestyle or going back to work in your seventies? Can you dream BIG, and know it will be a
reality? If you’re betting on the stock market for your future be prepared to lose IT ALL First.

Are you pondering about your future and how to make your money grow? Are you wondering
about the Stock Market and if it really works? Are you concern about pitfalls before you jump in
the market?

If you’re a hard working person that is trying to make a living and plan for your future, this isn’t
just about the stock market; it’s about making the smart choice the first time. This is about
YOUR MONEY and YOUR FUTURE, NOT just the stock market.

Let’s get on the same page so we can dream big and NOT lose a fortune!

WHAT IS MONEY TO YOU?

For all of us, it is a means of exchange. We pay money for food: food for money. We pay money
for a car: car for money. We pay money for a home: home for money.

Fact or Fiction? Are Numbers and Money the SAME THING? The world wants us to think that it
is "YES". BUT if you don’t stop and think about it, then you can get caught in a trap. 3 + 3+ 3= 9; $3
+ $3 + $3 = $9.00. These are, of course, true. However, money becomes so much more than a
number when you experience the pain of losing money or feel the ramifications of the ups and
downs of the market.

With that in mind, let’s learn the three biggest catch-ups with stock market investing, so we
are better equipped to dream, plan, and WIN!

1. WHAT GOES IN DOES NOT COME OUT!

Be prepared to NEVER see or spend the money you put into the stock market. One of the
biggest mistakes people make when putting their hard earned money into the stock market is
believing that it will be there and readily available “if” and “when" they need it. WRONG! If one
does make money in the stock market, it is because the money sat in the stock market for a
long, long, long, long, long time.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

Remember numbers and money are not the same thing! This is where you can easily get
burned. It’s not as simple as putting your money into the stock market and hoping it does well
over a period of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25+ years. You need to consider the fees that are being charged.
Currently, if you make money in the market the fees will consume the growth.

Did you factor in the TAXES you will OWE on the growth if you do make money?

People don’t often factor in these taxes, and take this out of their earned income. When putting
money into the market, be prepared to pay the taxes on the total growth, NOT what little is left
after the fees are taken out. TAXES are OWED on the WHOLE GROWTH, NOT just WHAT YOU
GET TO KEEP.

Bottom Line: Know what you really are getting into - research fees and taxes before you
invest.

GROWING STAGNANT OR LIVING?

Your hard-earned money you put into the stock market MUST BE MONEY YOU DO NOT NEED!
If you will need that money anytime in the foreseeable future, DO NOT use it in the market. The
money in the market does not grow at a fast rate. To see return, expect it to stay in the market
for 5-25+ years.

When you do this, it is important to think not just about the money as it is, but what it could
represent to you and your family. Think about it this way:

Would you buy a loaf of bread and wait 5 years to eat it?

Would you buy a car and wait 10 years to drive it?

Would you buy a house and wait 25 years to live in it?

When you put your money into the stock market, you are letting it sit. In doing that, you're
thinking about it as pure numbers. You would not wait to eat a loaf of bread, drive a car or live in
a house, but you will let your money set and become stagnant. You’re doing things with you
MONEY that you DON’T Do with the things your money buys.

Bottom Line: Be prepared to not see or use your money for a very long time.

WHAT CAN I AFFORD?

The money you put into the stock market MUST be money you can afford to lose. If it is money
that you will need anytime, then DO NOT put it into the market. This is the best approach to
putting your money into the system. If you approach it any other way, the market will dictate
your life, not improve your future. You must be willing to lose all the money you put into the
market because this is the risk that you take.

What can you afford? Only you can answer this question.

Bottom Line: the money that goes into the stock market needs to be money you can AFFORD
TO LOSE.

2. ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET

There are many different avenues and ways to get involved in the stock market, and you need
to find one that works for you; however, it is best to use caution instead of jumping in.
Pick several things you like or enjoy, so this is not just you looking and focusing on one stock.
Make it fun, without putting all your money in one stock. Diversify your risk.

Here are a few ideas:

Do you enjoy coffee? Pick 2 or 3 coffee companies that you like, where you already spend
your money.

Do you like traveling? Then chose your favorite airline or hotel chain and share the wealth,
you’re already spending your money there, so invest in more than one way.

I personally enjoy ice cream, so I’d pick my favorite ice cream companies or ice cream shops.

If you’re going to put your money into the stock market, then you might as well enjoy the
process by investing in something that you already enjoy or are involved with.

Bottom Line: If you only put money in one area of the stock market, the question isn't if you
will lose, but when.

3. WHO CARES MORE?

Have you ever thought about giving up control of your money to someone else? If so, ask this
question to yourself: Who cares more about your money, you or someone else?

If you decide to have someone else direct where you put your money in the stock market, be
prepared for that person to NOT give your money a second thought after you sign it over to him
or her. The reality is that he/she only cares until you GIVE UP CONTROL of your Money,
because he/she will still get paid NO MATTER WHAT.

What happens to your money matters to YOU. Research what you do before you lose control of
the money you worked hard to earn.

Bottom Line: When you give up control of your money to someone else, YOU LOSE MONEY!

Investing in the stock market is a huge life choice, and should be treated as such. Although
there is potential for gain, you are balancing that out with real risk of loss and essentially putting
some of your money out of commission for a long time. Knowing those risks and drawbacks
that we've outlined is essential in mastering the money game. Are you ready to invest in the
stock market? Answer this quick checklist to find out:

 Question Yes No

Do you have money that you can put away for a long time?

Do you have a good amount of money you can afford to lose?

Do you know the percentage of growth you'll have left after taxes and fees?

Will you/do you diversify your investments over many industries and companies?

Are you ready to give control of your money to someone who cares about it less
than you do?

I'll bet this seems like a lot of drawbacks. That's because investing in the stock market the
traditional way simply isn't the safest, best method of protecting and growing your money.
