On³: "On Cubed" is a simple formula that empowers you to take control of your investments and create financial independence through science.
1st Power: You
Unfortunately, many smart people deviate from the qualities that lead to wealth creation when they start investing their hard earned capital. Following are a few signs that you are betraying your business common sense:
- Bad investments are considered "unlucky" and profitable decisions are attributed to skill;
- Emotionally buying stocks as the price rises and selling them as the price falls;
- Attempting to time stock buys and sells with a "crystal ball";
- Fundamental conflicts that would be unacceptable in your business are ignored in your investment strategy; and
- Your "advisor" dispenses investment advice and profits with every trade.
Creating wealth is not typically a lucky endeavor nor should creating sustainable positive investment returns year after year be left to chance. Your investment strategy should reflect some of the qualities that initially created the environment for your success: sound strategy, proper capital allocation, informed decision making and discipline.
You are the 1st Power, and once you apply the same skills that led to your business success to your investment strategy, you begin a brisk and empowering journey to financial independence.
2nd Power: The Markets
The free capital markets of the world have soundly proven they "work" by their near ubiquity and by providing consistent rewards over long periods of time to those who risk the capital. This world market of stocks competes for the capital of investors and these investors compete for the greatest returns. Investors can expect greater returns by accepting greater amounts of risk, while less risk yields lower returns. There's no magical formula, but there are proven strategies.
Active fund managers assume the markets do not work and try to exploit them by attempting to predict the future and by seeking pricing irregularities. Over time, most fund managers under-perform the indices; the success of the few who outperform the indices can best be attributed to luck. A significant number of funds perform so poorly they change styles or close. The inarguable, consistent historical growth and proliferation of free capital markets worldwide is clear evidence that these markets are potent, thriving and efficient.
The markets are the 2nd Power; by flowing with them and not against them, you can earn significant long term rewards at your specific risk tolerance level.
