By Andrew Snyder<\/a><\/span> We hit on a controversial topic last week<\/a>. Who knew the subject of time would get such attention?<\/p>\n

It’s a funny thing to think about.<\/p>\n

Time is something we all have. Some have a lot. Some have a little. And despite the idea that getting more time is at the root of everything we do, few folks ever bother to really think about it.<\/p>\n

Most investors certainly don’t.<\/p>\n

We argue it’s the most important variable in any financial equation.<\/p>\n

Time is everything.<\/p>\n

The idea takes us to a comment from Member Dan L. After reading our thoughts on time and investing last week, he wrote this:
\nAnother of your articles with real-life ideas in the investment environment, Andrew. This is why I often am upset at articles that tout \u201cmake $10K per month\u201d with this company or strategy, and they neglect to say that you need $200K to put into the position! However, at 70 years of age, I may have to look at how solid the \u201cstrategy\u201d is, compared to leaving my capital in the Gone Fishin’ Portfolio. I would appreciate any further ideas you may have in the future concerning this matter.
\nAh, the crux of the matter. Time versus risk.<\/p>\n

If you’re unfamiliar with Alexander Green’s famed Gone Fishin’ Portfolio<\/a>, you really need to work on changing that. It’s perhaps the simplest market-beating, diversified investment strategy on the planet.<\/p>\n

It works. It’s no wonder Dan is questioning the ideas of other strategies.<\/p>\n

If it were that simple, though, our job at The Oxford Club, well\u2026 we certainly wouldn’t need 85 employees. We’d publish Alex’s pivotal portfolio and call it a day.<\/p>\n

But it’s not that simple\u2026 Again, there’s that pesky element of time.<\/p>\n

Members of the Club know that the Gone Fishin’ Portfolio serves merely as the base of our strategy-allocated portfolio. As Dan hints at\u2026 it’s the solid rock we build upon.<\/p>\n

Alex’s pivotal work will make you rich\u2026 no doubt. But only if you’ve got the time.<\/p>\n

If not, you need something more \u2013 something faster. There’s no question. If we want to make more money in a shorter amount of time, we must invest in a faster-moving strategy.<\/p>\n

It begs the question\u2026 which strategy?<\/p>\n

I wish I knew.<\/p>\n

[iu-adbox]<\/p>\n

Sure, I can tell you which strategy worked best last year\u2026 or the year before. But I’d be only guessing if I told you which strategy will win this year or next (my guess, by the way, is Alex’s strategy that tracks insider buying).<\/p>\n

Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. That’s what’s so head-scratching about the subject of time. We know nothing about it, what it will bring, or even how much we have.<\/p>\n

That’s why I helped to create the Club’s strategy diversification model<\/a> \u2013 an amazingly simple way to diversify your trading strategies that maximizes returns and lowers risk.<\/p>\n

It’s virtually the same concept used to diversify a typical portfolio. But instead of focusing on spreading risk across different asset types, it takes advantage of the idea of strategy diversification.<\/p>\n

That way, as one strategy outperforms the others, it lifts the entire portfolio. Better, \u2026read more<\/a> <\/p>\n
