A fine example of this principle in the corporate arena is the global footwear and accessories retailer, Aldo. The company has 1,600 stores in 80 countries and is immensely profitable. Their secret sauce: quick reactions to market trends. When they identify a change in fashion trends, they’re 50 percent quicker than their competition in designing, producing and delivering the hottest styles. Yes, fifty percent faster, and that’s gold to their bottom line.
This can be your secret sauce to investment profits as well. Your personal portfolio of ChartLists is the equivalent of Aldo’s design department, production department, and delivery department all bundled together. It facilitates quick reactions to current observable stock market opportunities.
In simplistic terms, your personal collection of ChartLists is like giving a runner a bicycle or giving a Jeep driver a Porsche. ROI (return on investment of your time and efforts) becomes supercharged. Your ChartLists allow you to become a “force of consistency.” They will also help you embrace one of Charlie Munger’s key investment tenets, “Try to be consistently not stupid.”
To achieve this end, I humbly suggest that you could best start with the Stock Market Mastery ChartPack.
Trade well; trade with discipline!
