Stop Mixing Your Investments! (Do This Instead)

Описание: Do you ever stare at your investment portfolio screen and feel overwhelmed by a "hodgepodge" of tickers, red and green lights, and trades you barely remember making? You aren't alone. In this video, Rich Warner from Smart Investor Models explains how to eliminate the chaos and confusion of investing by utilizing the power of separate accounts.

Using the "Air Traffic Controller" principle, Rich demonstrates why mixing different goals—like your emergency fund and your long-term retirement strategy—into one big "reservoir account" is a recipe for anxiety and poor decision-making.

Learn the "Bucket Strategy" to segment your wealth into three distinct categories:

✅ Bucket A: Immediate needs and emergency funds (0-2 years).
✅ Bucket B: Intermediate goals and tax-loss harvesting (2-7 years).
✅ Bucket C: Aggressive long-term growth and retirement (7+ years).

Rich also shares a "Bonus Tip" on how to use account nicknames and aliases at major brokerages like Fidelity and Interactive Brokers to keep your strategies organized at a glance.

Stop managing a "mosaic of past trades" and start investing with clarity and peace of mind.
