Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 7:30am

Ron Rowland

ETFs are a big help in many ways. One of the top benefits is that you are relieved from the task of deciding which individual stocks to buy out of the thousands available. Stock-picking is tough business.

What you may not know is that building a list of stocks is only part of the work. You also have to decide how much of your portfolio you will allocate to each one. Professionals call this a weighting strategy — and it is crucial to your long-term success.

Which do you think will be most important to balance the U.S. budget?

Note from the Editor

Welcome to Money and Markets.

It's been a busy week, and change is in the air. From skyrocketing prices at the gas pump to sticker shock at the grocery store, we all feel the bite on our wallets.

And there is much debate about the U.S. budget and how to at least start to decrease the deficit. So paramount is the concern over U.S. debt that major rating agencies, like Moody's and Standard & Poor's, have issued warnings that the "AAA" debt rating we've grown accustomed to may be a thing of the past.

That's indeed a wakeup call for every investor and every American.

We'll keep you abreast of the happenings by sharing Weiss analysts' market perspectives and recommendations. Don't miss them. There's bound to be important information you'll want to know.

We hope you'll tune in daily as we keep you up to date and focused.

If you have a comment, we'd like to hear it. Just Tell Us!

P.S. Don't miss excerpts from Martin Weiss's new book: The Ultimate Money Guide for Bubbles, Busts, Recession and Depression.

History's Important Lessons about Investing

by Claus Vogt
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 7:30am

Claus Vogt

Just look at the long-term chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average below. The first thing you'll probably notice is that it starts at the bottom left and rises strongly to the top right of the chart. So the message is clear: U.S. stocks have risen over this period.

And that's why many pundits keep claiming that stocks always rise in the long term.

Unfortunately this conclusion is not only somewhat naïve; it is even false, because it makes some hidden assumptions about ...
