Rick Van Ness – Diversify Like A Pro

The course is a shortcut to understanding diversification, so you can succeed if your investment goal is to “own broadly diversified stocks at the lowest possible cost.”

This course is for everyone—except those who already understand all these concepts:

• the difference between speculating and investing
• owning individual stocks exposes you to uncompensated risk
• how to construct a “good” portfolio
• why you cannot beat the Market portfolio without adding more risk
• mixing ETFs and mutual funds doesn’t improve diversification
• using many investment firms doesn’t diversify your investments

You will learn why you need to manage risk, and where it comes from. When you complete this mini-course, you will know exactly how to improve your portfolio to get on the best track to achieve your financial dreams.

This course is easily approachable for complete beginners, yet includes some eye-opening revelations to even experienced investors.
