Why Use An Investment Portfolio To Get Rich?

Hello, I am CQ, one of the InvestLike founders. 

I grew up investing at an early age. My grandmother taught me about blue chips at the age of 10. My first stock purchase was at 15. When I was 15 I worked all summer with my uncle and invested $500 of my earnings in a utility company. I was mostly broke in highschool and truth be told I didn’t know what I was doing, but I remember wanting to know. Wishing for a way to make money without risking my hard earned money. 

I started reading financial investing books when I was 17 years old and at this point in time I am 40+ years old, I have read 200 plus books on investing alone, that’s not counting scifi which is like 300’s. Not counting finance classes, running a few businesses, etc. From that experience I distilled some key pieces of information, most of it from Tony Robin’s book Money Master the Game. I have to give that man credit because he introduced me to Ray Dailio and David Swansen. Although, I will point out that Tim Farris introduced me to Tony Robbins and it was a guy at Charles Schwab (my bank) that introduced me to Tim Farris. No person is an island.

After years of searching I finally found a way to invest that was high return and low risk. The answer: invest in portfolios of different asset types with diversified risk exposure. When I say low risk I mean that the only way I am going to lose all my money is if the entire US market tanks and doesn’t come back. Honestly, if that happens we will all have bigger fish to fry than worry about money. 

You must be wondering, what has my performance been? Why should I be giving people advice? Let me lay it out for you in our next blog post and you can judge for yourself.

Sincerely,
