As a follow up to my previous post on the RMB and Direct Registration of shares, I'd just like to remind people that when you own private equity shares or trust units, the computer algorithms that are wreaking havoc and unprecedented volatility on the public stock exchanges around the world, have little affect if any at all.
For example; during the 2008 financial crisis the publicly traded REIT's (Real Estate Investment Trusts) went down with the market and lost about 30%. Meanwhile the private REIT's gained roughly 3%!
"UNPLUG" your wealth from the computer algorithms and move your shares into direct registration, or take possession of the paper certificates themselves. We can help you with this and also show you how to increase the insured value of your cash and shares with our special Kindigo Unplugged strategy.
As a licensed professional broker for over twelve years trading and investing in these markets, trust me when I tell you that most of the volatility on the exchanges is not due to fundamentals. However, one of the things that bothers me the most in the investment industry is this belief that having a "balanced and diversified" portfolio in the PUBLIC market is the best way to build wealth. This has been proven wrong time and time again. The most successful investors become disciplined experts in their field and focus on very few investments. Even Warren Buffet is focused on "value investing," not being balanced and diversified. He buys businesses for their value, not for diversification. Mind you this word diversification is overdone because you cannot be PROPERLY diversified if you have all your money in the PUBLIC market.
In my view being PROPERLY diversified means having investments in different types of markets as well as the public market; for example, private equity shares and collectables, like paintings or classic cars. Investing in the PHYSICAL economy is a type of safe haven investment, and we can help you design a properly diversified portfolio that includes both public and private investments.
