Smart Portfolio Management III - The $1,000,000 Portfolio (Members Only)

You can’t lose what you don’t have . The reverse is true for people with Millions in a stock portfolio.  Phil points out that the reson you don’t run a large hedge fund trying to make 100% gains is that the people who invest in those funds are more interested in what we call "preservation of capital" rather than generating wealth.  Generally, the people who have $1M of investable cash to play the markets have already achieved a great deal of success, often by taking their own risks along the way.  For most of us, $1M is hard to come by and, while we want to put that money to work - we certainly don’t want it wondering off and joining the circus .

While it might be acceptable to put 15% of your $10,000 portfolio on that long call you just KNOW will make money, it would be a big No-No to consider the same percent allocation to such a…
