Gambling with Your Future: Linda Duessel Takes on the Question of Money Management During Don Dion’s Video Conference
Williamstown, MA, June 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- In a video conference aired online yesterday, Linda Duessel, head of equity market strategy at Federated investors, weighed in on the benefits of professional money management in today’s marketplace.
Duessel noted that “In a bear market, it reminds us more than any other time… that you need a financial advisor who doesn’t have his emotions tied up in it, who can do the right thing, and not what your average investor is going to do, which is buy high and sell low.” Over the course of the video, Duessel examines why investors often act emotionally, and together with Don Dion, seeks to impress viewers with the importance of preserving their wealth for themselves and their families.
During the conference, Don Dion, publisher of the family of Fidelity Independent Adviser Newsletters, www.fidelityadviser.com, and portfolio manager of Dion Money Management, also discussed topics that have been on the minds of his investors: commodities, oil, treasuries, and the housing market. He also gave his outlook for the rest of 2008, citing medical device manufacturers and emerging markets as good investments for aggressive investors.
While do-it-yourself trading platforms have increased in the past year, Duessel and Dion believe that the majority of investors have a difficult time remaining unemotional about their investments. Dion emphasizes that savings is the result of many years of physical and emotional work. Both Duessel and Dion believe that it is hard to be objective and unemotional about your money, especially in difficult market times.
In the conference, Duessel described “If you have a problem with your health, you go to a doctor, when you have a problem with your car, you go to a mechanic.” Duessel believes that, “when you’re working with your portfolio, you need a professional financial advisor.”
“(Retirement savings) is a serious amount of money,” Dion added, “it will need to take care of you and your family.” Because of the importance he places on these investments, Dion tells investors that they “should enjoy their retirement,” and have “professional money manager” handle the day to day stress of an increasingly volatile marketplace.
Dion had posted his video conference in its entirety on both his money management website, and the website of his acclaimed newsletter, Fidelity Independent Adviser. He also has offered a free portfolio review for viewers of the video who call 1-800-432-7447, ext. 191.
