The 5 Year Bull Market Myth!(5)

So while the 5 year bull market did happen for a lucky few, chances are if you have been a long term investor over the last seven years you have barely broke even.


How much better off could you have been if you had invested in safer, less volatile, or even risk free alternatives.

Before you get ready to listen to the market makers or mutual fund marketers make sure you know the facts.


Don't get sucked into the hype of the mythical 5 year bull market.


If you are not sure exactly how well your investments are doing you may want to seek out the assistance of a qualified advisor

A)who can tell you not just what your fund has averaged over the last 5 or 10 years but

B)who can help you analyze what your true return has been and if you are as far ahead as you think or if it may be time to reevaluate your holdings.


While blinders may work well for horses they can be devastating to investors.
