On My Radar: Navigating Stock Market Cycles

HOW TO GROW AND DEFEND YOUR WEALTH
What matters when it comes to investing? It’s not what you may think. Trade deals, tweets, and more may affect the market for a moment in time, but the reality is most news is just noise— sound bites that ultimately don’t matter. So, what does?
Steve Blumenthal has spent his career studying just that. He’s seen how that noise encourages investors to behave badly. But you don’t have to fall prey to the same mistakes investors routinely make. On My Radar: Navigating Stock Market Cycles explains the ins and outs of what matters: from long- and short-term debt cycles to the merciless math of loss—the concept that compounding interest works differently on the way up than it does on the way down—and the impact of recessions.
Then it provides a plan: when to play offense, when to play defense, and how to carefully grow and defend your core wealth in a way that enables you to explore select investment opportunities that may further enhance your wealth. It is a must read for anyone seeking an actionable investment process.

STEVE BLUMENTHAL began his career at Merrill Lynch in 1984, marking the beginning of his education on investor behavior and what it means for the markets. He co-founded CMG Capital Management Group, Inc., along with his father, Marvin, in 1992. CMG specializes in tactical investments, with the ultimate goal of helping advisors and clients build portfolios focused on growth while mitigating downside risk.

Blumenthal is a frequent speaker and writer on investment strategies. He is the author of the popular weekly e-letter On My Radar, which helps investors, advisors, and institutions achieve a deeper understanding of the forces driving the economy and investment markets. He also writes investment commentary for Forbes and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Investor’s Business Daily, Pensions & Investments, Investment News, and ETF.com. He has appeared on Bloomberg, CNBC, and Fox Business News, among other media outlets.
