“Gold Rush Alaska” Teaches Investment Lessons Explains Jeff Voudrie of Common Sense Advisors, a Financial Planner in Tennessee
Johnson City, TN (PRWEB) November 29, 2013 -- Investments management advisor Jeff Voudrie, president of Common Sense Advisors, says that one of the primary lessons to learn from the show is that when the team of miners put all of their proverbial eggs in one basket, disaster was just around the corner. Influenced by one of the team leaders, Jack, the miners tried to strike it rich in season one by digging to the bottom of a supposed ancient waterfall, where gold nuggets were presumably stacked one on top of the other.
Instead, the entire first season demonstrated that focusing on just one spot was a terrible move and resulted in financial disaster. Similarly, the financial planner in Tennessee says, “There is always opportunity cost associated with what we do.” As the miners dug like crazy in one “glory hole,” Voudrie notes, they used valuable “time they couldn’t spend searching in other areas for gold.” Similarly, investors who put all of their funds in a fixed return annuity, for instance, do not have the opportunity to see their money grow in other vehicles.
Voudrie argues not only for a diversified portfolio, but one that responds immediately to market shifts. He has a patented software system called the Portfolio Steward™ that minimizes client risk and spreads investment in several areas so that no one’s entire resources are chasing fool’s gold down legendary waterfalls—or investment opportunities that sound too good to be true.
Voudrie’s acclaimed book, How Successful Investors Tripled the Return of the S&P 500, draws on several other lessons that can be gleaned from “Gold Rush Alaska.” Whether or not you are a devotee of the show, Voudrie has drawn insightful lessons from it that can benefit all investors, especially those who are trying to arrange a comfortable retirement for their golden years, who can learn much from the blunders of the men on “Gold Rush Alaska.”
