I see many challenges ahead that could cause an economic “Pearl Harbor,”
and I am compelled to sound the alarm. There is no reason for people to
lose over one-third of their wealth, like many did in 2008. John Bogle, the
founder and former CEO of the largest mutual fund family, the Vanguard
Group, was interviewed on CNBC in April 2013, and he said to prepare for
at least two declines of up to 50% over the next decade.
I just don't think people can survive two or more catastrophic losses when
many have not recovered from losses over the past decade.
That's why I decided to write the book Exposed – The Great Retirement
Hoax. “The Secrets To Growing Wealthy Without Wall Street”.
For over 100 years, people have been making the same mistake of chasing
returns and looking for magical financial products that will make them
wealthy. Wall Street creates the illusion of an easy path to wealth, which is
reinforced by the media through shows on CNBC and all the so-called
“financial gurus.”
Just follow the simple formula of investing for the long-term, diversifying,
dollar cost averaging, and on and on, and you too can be financially
successful. I call it the "Financial Matrix" -- very much like the movie The
Matrix, where people were being told what to think.
In The Matrix, the character Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), the leader of
the resistance, explains to Neo (Keanu Reeves), the movie's hero, that the
Matrix is a computer-generated program created by machines to keep
humanity in a dream world. Morpheus and his small army of rebels have
escaped the dream world of the machines, and they live in the "real world."
