Why Your Investment Strategy Is Probably Too Complicated
Your portfolio contains seventeen mutual funds, eight individual stocks, two alternative investments, and a cryptocurrency position you barely understand. You check it three times daily, read market commentary obsessively, and lose sleep when headlines turn negative. Meanwhile, your neighbor owns three index funds, checks his account quarterly, and sleeps soundly. Who do you think will be wealthier in twenty years? The uncomfortable truth is that investment success rarely comes from doing more-it comes from doing less, but doing it consistently. Complex strategies create an illusion of control while actually increasing the odds of costly mistakes. Markets crashed in March 2020. Investors who panicked and sold locked in devastating losses. Those who maintained discipline and rebalanced into stocks captured the subsequent recovery. What separated these groups wasn't intelligence or market knowledge-it was focus. One group obsessed over uncontrollable variables like pandemic trajectories and Federal Reserve decisions. The other focused exclusively on controllable factors: their savings rate, asset allocation, and rebalancing schedule. This distinction determines investment outcomes more than any other factor. You cannot control interest rates, inflation, geopolitical events, or market sentiment. Worrying about these elements wastes mental energy that could be directed toward productive activities. Instead, control your savings rate, minimize costs, maintain appropriate diversification, and manage behavioral errors. When you create systematic processes for these controllable elements, market volatility becomes background noise rather than a crisis requiring constant attention.
