Why My 6 Year Old Is Beating The Stock Market
Let’s talk about why my 6 year old is beating the stock market.
I started investing in the All Seasons Portfolio for my son’s college education fund back in October 2019.
I did not know what the stock market would do, though I knew that it was high.
When the stock market crashed 50% in March, Jordan’s portfolio was only down about 3% or so.
Now the stock market is still well below it’s high, whereas Jordan’s portfolio is actually up 6.3% today from when I started investing in October.
Mind you I am dollar cost averaging, meaning that I’m putting in at least $100 every month.
Understand that being up 6.3% today from October means that his Annual Percentage Yield is more like 9.5%.
That’s pretty good for this little guy in a down market where everyone is afraid to invest.
Is it a good time to invest?
The nice thing about an All Seasons Portfolio is it is always a good time to invest, because the portfolio is designed to do well in all markets or seasons (deflation, inflation, economic growth, economic decline).
So, I don’t have to worry and just invest my son’s money every month.
