Stock Trend Investing

Investors in the stock market who have a long time-horizon shall keep a close eye on their investments, but there are better ways than checking your portfolio every day. Let’s start looking at the disadvantages of checking your portfolio value every day before going into the available alternative.

Four disadvantages of checking your stock portfolio daily when you have a long investment horizon:

1) It takes you every day a few minutes that do not bring you any positive results. Five minutes per working day is more than an hour per month that you can spend in a more fruitful way.

Has the Nikkei 225, the Japanese stock market index that has been on a losing streak for a few months, now turned around? During this month, the Nikkei index has been gaining and during the last week it has hit its highest point in 4 months.
 
In the beginning of December, the Stock Trend Investing system warned that if the Nikkei 225 would decline another month during December, it would issue a sell warning for your holdings in funds that are expected to follow the Nikkei. We noted that those investors who firmly believed that the Nikkei would decline again during December, could as well sell already.

You do not have to live overseas to use an stock market investing system that is ideal for expats (expatriates). It is what you; many expats and I have in common which defines what the appropriate investing strategy is for you. So, what do we have in common that is of interest here?

You and most expats are not an investing expert

Except for those among us that have jobs in the financial markets, you have no time to study everything that has to do with investing in the stock market, or even in other markets. You have your own profession and it takes most of your energy to balance that job and your private life.

So, having that hectic life, you cannot expect of yourself to become an investing expert.

It hurts that your hard-earned savings get such a miserable interest
