Do you believe everyone’s out there to get a competitive edge in investing?

Well, I do. 

But since there are only a few assets to invest in and ways to do it, it can be difficult to be unique and stand out from the crowd.

If you’ve listened to my podcast episodes before, you’d know that one of the reasons why I love alternative investment opportunities is that they’re not as popular and efficient as other types of investments.

This is good news if you’re a smart investor because you can find more opportunities to get ahead of the competition.

Now, the problem with any kind of investing where you rely on someone else’s expertise is that you don’t always know if they’re trustworthy or if they really care about your money. 

For example, if you rely on someone else’s expertise for investing, like attending a seminar, using a buyer’s agent, or giving your money to a stockbroker or financial planner, you may not know if they are truly looking out for your best interests.

They might just be trying to sell you something instead of genuinely helping you make the most of your money. Because we can’t always verify their past deals and track record, it can be challenging to know how successful someone is at investing.
