Titled: Everything You've Been Told About Investing is Wrong!
Everything You've Been Told About Investing is Wrong!
Article Summary: There ARE high yield, low risk investments out there, despite what the 'experts' might tell you. You DO have different investment options available to you - ones that are far more powerful than anything you get offered by your financial advisor, or that you see advertised in the media. Welcome to the world of the Maverick Investor!
There's no such thing as a high yield, low risk investment, is there? There are no different investment options other than those you see advertised in the media, or the ones your financial advisors suggest might be 'exactly right for you', are there?
In fact, the investment industry wants you to believe a story - a myth, if you like - and it goes something like this...
* Investment is risky
* You need to leave it to the experts
* The experts know what they're doing
* They will, of course, charge you for their knowledge
* Every product has a commission attached
* Every loan application comes with a fee
* Every stock trade costs you money
* Every move between funds attracts a charge
* Each time we advise you, we'll charge you
* And the best we can offer you is a few percent a year
* It's simply impossible to do better without taking massive risk
* And we don't, of course, advise that course of action.
Now, I could take each of those statements apart, one by one. Instead, let me condense my response into one simple statement...
Everything you've been told about investing is wrong!
* Your financial advisors have not told you the whole truth - mainly because they don't know it themselves!
* Your bank manager has been unwittingly leading you astray all these years
* Your pension is not performing the way it could
* Your investments are returning you paltry sums, compared to what is possible
Now, all this does assume that you are currently an Ordinary Investor. You have a pension pot (maybe). You have some savings (if you're lucky), perhaps in a high-interest, online account. You might have bought a few stocks and shares over the years, and perhaps played in other markets such as commodities or currencies occasionally.
You make a bit here, you lose a bit there and, overall, if you can beat the standard bank rate (say, 5%?) then you're happy.
Is this you? Do you recognise yourself here? Then, with all due respect, you are an Ordinary Investor.
Maverick Investors also use 5% as a benchmark.
BUT - while Ordinary Investors are thinking "5% per annum", Maverick Investors are thinking 5% per MONTH!! And on many occasions, they'll actually exceed this target - sometimes by a significant margin!
Why does the investment industry put that story (as outlined above) out there, and convincing millions that it's The Truth?
Because the investment industry is huge, and it largely remains so by keeping you in the dark!
Think about it - there are thousands of investment houses out there, employing hundreds of thousands of analysts, traders, agents, sales people and back office staff.
This mega-business has a myriad of low-yielding investment products that it sells to retail customers (like you) through an army of commission-only salesmen, who rely on you!) buying these products and thereby funding the business through commissions and fees.
It's in the industry's best interests to keep you coming back to the same agents for more low-yielding investments, year after year after year.
Now, imagine this.
Imagine you found a way (or several ways) to significantly out-perform every one of those retail investment products on your own, without any sales agents being involved, you'd never go back, would you?
And if there really are high yield, low risk investment methods out there, requiring little of your time, no special equipment, no lengthy training, posing minimal risk to your financial well-being, and that you could manage yourself from home, do you really think the investment industry would let you know about them?
Of course not!
That would threaten their commission income, and they'd never accept that!
Maverick Investors don't believe that investment is necessarily difficult, or risky, or that it should be left entirely in the hands of 'experts'.
Experts have their place, of course, but the investment industry wants you to believe that experts are vital, and that they are your only route through to smart investment strategies.
That simply isn't true.
You can rapidly become your own expert, just through applying a bit of knowledge that many people have been using for years to invest their way out of debt, out of a boring job, and into Financial Freedom. The only thing that stands between you (achieving 5% a year at a push) and me (achieving 5% a month, almost with my eyes closed!) is knowledge.
Don't you owe it to yourself and your family to seek out this knowledge for yourself, and start making some massive strides towards true financial freedom?

Maverick Investors are using high yield, low risk strategies involving real estate, stocks, stock options and foreign exchange trading to generate returns of between 3% and 15% a month. That voice in your head that's screaming "High Risk" was placed there by the investment industry! Don't listen to it. High returns do not have to mean high risk. Come and see for yourself.
