I have an asset allocation plan already. How can CCM help me improve my odds of investment success?

Many firms and advisors (not all) recommend a relatively static mix between stocks and bonds. It is fairly common for advisors to meet with you, stick your assets in a mix of stocks and bonds (aka a pie chart), and then move on to the next person. When a bear market comes, the standard company lines are “just ride it out”, “the market always comes back”, and “it is best to just leave it alone”.  Ask yourself, how did a buy-and-hold-and-hope strategy work in 2000-2002 or 2007-2009 when the S&P 500 Index lost over 50%?

Why should you have a fixed allocation to stocks during a bear market when the odds are clearly against stocks performing well? Why should you have a fixed allocation to bonds when interest rates are rising and the odds are clearly against bonds performing well? The answers are “you should not have a fixed allocation to stocks or bonds, or anything for that matter.” CCM’s dynamic approach to asset allocation offers a prudent alternative to the traditional "hang in there" approach.
