“Over the long term, despite significant drops from time to time, stocks (especially an intelligently selected stock portfolio) will be one of your best investment options. The trick is to GET to the long term. Think in terms of 5 years, 10 years and longer. Do your planning and asset allocation ahead of time. Choose a portion of your assets to invest in the stock market - and stick with it! Yes, the bad times will come, but over the truly long term, the good times will win out - and I hope the lessons from 2008 will help get you there to enjoy them.” ThinkingYearsLongHelpingWinningEnjoyTermLessonsSticksInvestmentSignificantPlanningTricksDespiteLong TermGood TimesAssetsPortionsSelectedBad TimesPortfoliosAhead Of TimeBest InvestmentAllocationAsset Allocation Author:Joel Greenblatt
