Long Term Strategy for IRAs and 401k Plans

4 Funds Chart

For very Long Term Investors, historically splitting your investment account equally into 4 Exchange Traded or Mutual Funds would grow your money faster than Inflation:

25 % S&P 500 Fund (SPY) for Growth.

25 % NASDAQ 100 Fund (QQQ) for Aggressive Growth.

25 % International Large Cap Fund (EFA).

25 % Growth and Income (for example, one of the better-performing Funds in recent years has been Calamos Growth & Income (CGIIX)

 

To avoid a possible “Bear Market”, maybe EXIT any Fund that Closes > 5% Below the Green Line (250 day exponential moving average). CHECK HERE. Re-enter the Fund on a Close back above the Green Line.

SPY Monthly
Market Timers should EXIT 5 % Below the Green Line to avoid possible BEAR.
