“The biggest rewards in the stock market do not go to those with the biggest brains, but to those with the strongest stomachs.”
Those wise words from Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green underlie his entire investing philosophy.
In a recent interview, YouTube personality (and friend of The Oxford Club) Ari Gutman asked Alex, “Does it take an optimist to be successful in the stock market?”
Alex’s response? Indeed it does!
Sure, it’s possible to find some wins in the short term by playing the downside on specific stocks or sectors. But over time, the investors with the most optimism and intestinal fortitude are the ones who make the big money.
As Alex is fond of saying, nothing outperforms a diversified portfolio of common stocks – as long as you’re patient enough to wait out the short-term moves in those stocks.
