Editor\u2019s note: This article is part of\u00a0Shortform\u2019s guide to saving money<\/a>. If you like what you read here, there\u2019s plenty more to check out in the guide!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Investment Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trench explains how to manage investment risk with advice regarding diversification, stocks vs. bonds, and speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start investing, Trench advises you not to worry too much about diversification (spreading your money across different assets). If you have less than a few hundred thousand dollars to invest, focusing on one high-performing asset class, such as stocks or real estate, can help you accumulate wealth more quickly. <\/strong>Diversification becomes more important only as your wealth grows and preserving it becomes a higher priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In I Will Teach You to Be Rich<\/em><\/a>, Sethi differentiates between asset allocation and diversification<\/a>. Asset allocation is how you spread your money across different types of investments, like stocks and bonds. Your asset allocation should match your risk tolerance\u2014for instance, when you\u2019re young, you can afford to invest more heavily in riskier assets like stocks that have the potential for higher returns. Diversification, on the other hand, means having a mix of investments within <\/em>each asset class. So even if most of your money is in stocks, you\u2019ll want to invest in different types and sizes of companies.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Trench argues that, contrary to popular belief, stocks aren\u2019t riskier than bonds. While the prices of stocks may change more compared to bonds in the short term, stocks are actually less risky than bonds for long-term investors because they\u2019ve historically provided higher returns over extended periods than bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In Beating the Street<\/em><\/a>, Peter Lynch explains two major risks<\/a> that bonds face: inflation and interest rate changes. First, inflation can reduce the real value<\/a> of fixed bond payments over time, so your $50 interest payment buys less and less as prices rise. Second, if interest rates go up, the value of your existing bonds goes down since newer bonds offer better rates. Unlike bonds, stocks let you own a piece of actual companies, giving you the chance to earn both regular dividend payments and increases in the stock price itself.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Trench warns that you should avoid speculation, which means buying assets solely in the hopes that their price will go up. He explains that speculative activities like buying gold<\/a> or cryptocurrency aren\u2019t true investments because they don\u2019t create real value or sustainable long-term wealth in the same way that investing in productive assets like businesses or real estate can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In The Intelligent Investor<\/em><\/a>, Benjamin Graham more specifically explains the difference between investing and speculating<\/a>. True investing is when you carefully analyze an asset to ensure both safety and adequate returns. Speculation is everything else. Speculators often trade based on short-term stock price movements, popular opinion, and emotional swings rather than a company\u2019s fundamental value. Graham warns against common speculative traps disguised as investment strategies, like trading based on short-term earnings reports or chasing trendy formulas, as these approaches consistently fail to outperform the market over time.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
