I just returned from my annual trek to Orlando, Fla., for The World MoneyShow. This is an event that my family and I have been participating in for more than 25 years. In fact, I can remember quite vividly the days when my dad and I would speak to investors and newsletter subscribers about the opportunities in no-load mutual funds, and the risks inherent in the buy-and-hold investment strategies prevalent on Wall Street.

Now, I appear at the MoneyShow with my own sons, and we still are talking about the opportunities. But my theme is the opportunities in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Of course, that buy-and-hold mantra being peddled by the big brokerage firms on Wall Street hasn’t died down much. They still always want you to buy and never to sell. I guess the more that things change, the more they stay the same.

After speaking with many of the attendees at my Orlando seminars, I came away somewhat bewildered. That’s because most investors I spoke with do not believe that the current rally, or the current U.S. economic recovery, is sustainable. Most were extremely worried about the federal budget debt and deficit, the shrinking U.S. dollar and rising inflation.

Certainly, I can understand these worries, as I am not too bullish on any of these problems either. However, what I told these investors, and what I want to tell you, is that markets seldom, if ever, feel right. There is always going to be a stream of bad news to go along with the good news, and there always will be circumstances that make investors feel nervous about putting money to work.

Of course, the antidote to that constant nervousness is to have a plan in place that gets you into stocks when the trend says it’s safe, and out of stocks when the market signals that the waters are just too rough. The creation of this plan is what my father developed more than 30 years ago. It is this plan that’s still delivering market-beating gains via our Successful Investing advisory service.
