My 10 Point Investment Plan: Pretty Much the Same as Back in 1990

July 28, 2020 By Richard C. Young

Dick Young, Paris, France

Back then I offered subscribers to my investment strategy report a ten-point investment guide for the long term.

The basic plan is today, thirty years later, pretty much unchanged.

  1. Make capital preservation your number one target
  2. Make dividends the cornerstone of your core equity portfolio
  3. Never forget the power of compound interest
  4. Make equities, not bonds, your core holdings.
  5. When general market conditions are horrible, and most folks are selling, aggressively buy your dividend stocks
  6. Use automatic withdrawal programs for retirement income
  7. Don’t trade in and out
  8. Remember the words full faith and credit.
  9. Never invest based on predictions. Invest based on relative value only.
  10. Be well organized, always have a plan, practice patience.
