Bottom Line
Buy & Hope has been riding the Wall Street rollercoaster, losing half or more in recessions, which means many people must use the bull markets to make up losses, rather than building wealth. It’s easy to feel complacent when we hear that stocks keep hitting all-time highs, just as it is common to feel depressed in recessions. Proper diversification of an age-appropriate wealth plan that is rebalanced once, twice or three times a year keeps our wealth building – putting us on the right side of the trade, instead of having extended periods of desperation and losses.
