Your Investing Alarm Just Went Off! Are You In?Hey, future wealth builders!
Today, I’m kicking off a new series where I’ll be your personal market alarm system! Think of me as the investing wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. Buzzing in your inbox to make sure you never snooze on your next investment.
We’ll regularly review stock indices so that you can invest consistently, with confidence and purpose. Every month. Little by little, building your wealth.
Goals:
Encourage consistent and regular investing.
Identify the strongest-performing indices at any given time.
Ensure that investment decisions are thoughtful and informed.
Avoid emotional, random, and blindly made purchases.
Why does this approach work?
In January , I tested whether smart index selection can outperform the market over 20 years. I analyzed three U.S. indices: S&P 500, Russell 2000, Nasdaq 100.
On the first trading day of each quarter, I bought the technically strongest index, the one showing the best price movement and trend. I made a total of 81 trades.
The results:
✅ I outperformed the S&P 500 (+233%) and Russell 2000 (+128%), achieving a +344% return.
❌ But I couldn’t beat the Nasdaq 100, which returned +570%.
Investing would be easy if we knew today which index to buy for the next 10 or 20 years but since time travel isn’t an option (yet), sticking to just one index could cost you tens of thousands over time. The solution? Make the best choice at each moment.
Which indices do I track?
After careful consideration and discussions with ETF expert Märten Kress, I have selected four key indices from different regions:
📌 S&P 500 – U.S. large-cap stocks
📌 Nasdaq 100 – U.S. tech and growth stocks
📌 EuroStoxx 600 – European large-cap stocks
📌 China Large-Cap ETF – China’s largest and most liquid companies
How does it work?
On the 1st and 15th of every month (or the next trading day), I analyze which index has the strongest technical “setup”. Why these days? Payday reminders! Invest in yourself first, build your portfolio , and then think about whether those extra expenses are really worth it.
You’ll find out which index is hot right now so you can invest more wisely.
Why am I doing this?
Actually, my main goal with this series is to be that friend who calls and says: “Come on, let’s hit the gym!” You may not feel like going, but once you do, you always feel better afterward. This is the same, except the workout is investing.
Investing must be consistent and strategic. Blind purchases can cost you thousands.
Smart diversification helps maximize returns and reduce risks.
You don’t have to analyze everything yourself. I’ll provide insights to help you stay on track and save you time.
Whether you invest every month, twice a month, or once a quarter, is up to you. I’ll be here, my posts will keep coming, and my technical opinion will always be available. The key is consistency and investing without emotions!
WHO WINS THIS MONTH?
Let’s get serious. Which index is the strongest this month? Which one has momentum, and which one should we wait on?
