You've identified the stock that's set to benefit most and made a trade using the tactics that will squeeze the most profit out of it. Nicely done. Now it's time for the final piece of the Total Wealth strategy. Mention the words "Risk Management" and most investors get a look that's somewhere between "bored" and "terrified." It's not that they don't want to control risk; they're just not sure how and they don't make it a priority. Yet the most direct path to building a fortune is not losing your money in the first place. All you really need is a handful of tools and the discipline to enforce them. One you're probably already familiar with is a Trailing Stop. They're usually automatic sell orders set at a specific % below the market price of the investment you hold or at some predetermined $ amount of risk on a given investment. While people typically think of Trailing Stops as downside protection, in fact, they can be used to lock in profits, too. That's why I recommend using them on almost every investment. But few people use what I call "Ultimate Trailing Stops." --------------------------------------------------------------- Over 4 Dozen Triple-Digit Windfalls Since January 1 - D.R. Barton Is Releasing His Next Two Barnburners Today]( The cold, hard cash keeps coming for the readers of D.R. Barton, Jr. His unique Hook Pattern strategy has just CLOSED OUT ANOTHER EIGHT TRIPLE-DIGIT WINNERS, including two that closed out the same day on September 12, a whopper 200% gain the very next day, September 13, and three more triple-digit winners ON THE SAME DAY on September 22! But listen to this: The same pattern that was used to spot all of these winners has appeared with two more stocks. So we've decided to invite a very limited number of additional participants. If you're interested in being one of them, [go here now](. --------------------------------------------------------------- The Most Direct Path to Building a Fortune Before I show you the power of Ultimate Trailing Stops, we need to spend a minute talking about why risk management matters. As I said, the most direct path to building a fortune is not losing money. I know that sounds obvious, but it's not to the vast majority of folks. DALBAR data shows that individual investors consistently underperform the broader markets. Over time they fall farther and farther behind, eventually dooming themselves to terrible results that they'll never make up. Many investors like to think that this is because they haven't found the next "Google" or "Apple" or "Microsoft." I suppose that's true on some level, but in reality there's plenty of opportunity. So much so, in fact, that from 1993 to 2013 almost every investment sector outperformed the average individual investor who achieved an annualized return of just 2.53% over the same time frame. That's why I started Total Wealth. With the six trends, the right tactics, and a few risk management tools, chances are you won't be left behind - and in fact, you may even beat the market for years to come. Truth be told, there are thousands of ways to prevent losses. This isn't anything new and there's certainly no lack of literature on the subject. In fact, a quick spin around the Internet reveals tens of thousands of articles covering everything from simple trailing stops to esoteric methods like synthetic hedging that you'll need a PhD in astrophysics to understand. That's NOT what I'm talking about here. What I am talking about is installing another layer between you and the proverbial sell button. Here's a great place to start. --------------------------------------------------------------- Are you waiting for your next life-changing opportunity?

And a small group of people has already had the chance to take advantage and earn unbelievable rewards.

I realize that's not always possible but that doesn't stop me from trying. Chances are you feel the same way or you wouldn't be here. But what matters is how I approach the markets. From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, I think about what's going to cause me to lose money. That may surprise you, but it shouldn't. Many professional traders are the same way. They know that profits will come if they can consistently identify what will cause them to lose money, and they take steps avoid it. For me that's ultimately a very simple process - hence the moniker "Ultimate Trailing Stop." Here's how it works. I ask myself every single day if the reasons why I bought something are still there and still true. If the answer is YES, then I'm content to hold on through thick and thin. I'm not concerned about short-term market fluctuations and, in most cases, will actually use any decline to buy more because I am [confident that capital is a creative force]( and that the markets will continue to grow as earnings do. If the answer is NO, then I'm gone like the wind in that old JJ Cale song "Call Me the Breeze." Five Reasons I Like Ultimate Trailing Stops - They work on any investment in any asset class, even if you prefer Crayolas to computers to track your results - They are valid in up, down, and sideways markets - They help frame your thinking so that you are never caught by surprise again - They can help you prevent catastrophic losses and capture monster profits - They are so simple truly anyone can use them In that sense, an Ultimate Trailing Stop gives you the perspective needed to buy, hold, and ultimately sell any investment successfully and, more importantly, as profitably as possible over time. --------------------------------------------------------------- [SHOCKING] Tiny Defense Contractor Set to End Chinese Aggression]( It's about to get violent in the South China Sea - and thanks to a shocking new superweapon, the Chinese believe they can take us down hard. But a tiny U.S. defense contractor has been quietly developing an astonishing checkmate move... a revelatory new technology that could put America back on top for years to come. [You need to see this to believe it](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some examples of what could trigger an Ultimate Trailing Stop. ...is the CEO still in place and do I like his vision as a leader? For example, I loved Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Inc., but don't have confidence in his replacement, Tim Cook. Apple's earnings are slowing. The company oozes MBAs rather than innovation these days. The entire marketing strategy is based on "me, too" from Apple Pay to the iPhone 6. It's all a game of catchup to me. So I won't go near the company anymore and have recommended shorting it several times when the technicals merited a high probability move. ...has there been a game-changing development in the industry that obviates the product suite? Tesla Motors Inc. springs to mind here as the "game changer." I think Elon Musk is the most innovative CEO on the planet and that his vision is very threatening to Detroit and to the conventional auto industry in general. So I'm perfectly happy to recommend Tesla, even though it's clearly going to be a bumpy ride. [CRITICAL][How You Could Make $108,550 Every Month]( ...is price in line with value? When I recommend buying stocks, for example, I formulate an opinion as to what I think something is worth. If a stock increases to that point, I'm the first one to recommend scaling out or rebalancing into other holdings that are undervalued. My goal is not so much to set a hard and fast target as it is to enter a range and stay there. Obviously, I've just scratched the surface here. I can think of a whole host of other questions you may want to add to your own list depending on your individual perspective, risk tolerance and time horizon. ...has something changed for the worse? ...do I have to sell because I need the money? ...will selling help me rebalance to buy more upside? ...if I don't want to buy it today, why am I not selling? ...is the smart money leaving? There is no single answer that's right for everybody. Ultimately, that depends on you - pun absolutely intended. The Ultimate Trailing Stop is the mental backdrop behind any investment decision. It's uniquely yours and tremendously personal. The point is, again, I'm really not concerned with short-term market gyrations. I'm talking about investments here... not trades. So most of my questions are fundamental and oriented to the longer-term approach that leads to profits over time. You may have a different perspective. [CRITICAL] [Another 106.16% in the Bag and Two Fresh Trades to Go With It]( In practice, you may not need to check your Ultimate Stops every day, like I do.

You may want to revisit once a year to see if your Ultimate Trailing Stop has been triggered on any of your investments.
