Here’s one of the best-kept secrets for making big money in the stock market…
Don’t chase hype.
Don’t follow the crowd.
And don’t swing for the fences with every stock.
Instead, focus on dominant businesses that have lasting competitive advantages.
Because at the end of the day, they are the ones who deliver outstanding returns.
Let me share why that is…
During the COVID pandemic, a handful of flashy names exploded higher — stocks like Wayfair, Zoom and Peloton.
Wall Street couldn’t get enough of them. They were “disruptors,” “game-changers,” and “the future of work, fitness and retail.”
COVID darlings soared on hype — then crashed when reality hit.
But when the tide of easy money went out, they didn’t just pull back — they collapsed.
It turns out these businesses weren’t built to last.
They were rowboats caught in a hurricane.
And investors who chased the excitement learned a painful lesson that hit them hard in the pocket.
Meanwhile, companies like Apple (+250%), Microsoft (+150%) and Alphabet (+170%) didn’t need hype to deliver.
Over the past five years, they’ve surged ahead — not because of buzz, but because of wide moats, world-class execution and business models built to last.
They also have solid foundations, recurring revenues, loyal customers and smart, disciplined leadership.
Through the market’s ups and downs, they kept rewarding shareholders — slow and steady.
Bottom line: You don’t need to swing for the fences to build wealth.
It’s much simpler than that. You just need to stay in the game.
That’s why in my services, my message doesn’t change regardless of what Mr. Market is doing.
All we need to do is buy a portfolio of seaworthy businesses that can survive the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.
I call them “sleep well at night” stocks.
Because you don’t have to worry about what’s happening in Washington, or what the Fed says tomorrow, or what the latest headlines are shouting.
You can simply invest with confidence — knowing that over time, these businesses are built to grow.
Let others chase the hype. Let them panic when the market dips.
We’re playing a different game — and it’s the one that wins over the long run.
