How 20 Carefully-Selected Stocks Can Help You “Retire with Ease” Even In the Face of A Market Collapse

Analysts predict a 26% market drop in the first half of 2023.
Will your current investments still allow you to retire on schedule?
It’s no longer enough to simply “buy and hold” popular companies, as many discovered after 2022 wiped out more than $5 TRILLION in market cap from some of the biggest brands in the world, including Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft!
Knowing which companies still represent a good investment for both short and long term gains has become VITAL for anyone thinking of retiring in the next ten years. Without that information, you might have to join the 1.7 million retirees who are re-entering the workforce after retiring just one year earlier!
Retirement used to pretty much be a given in this country.
Between Social Security, pensions, 401(k)s, and basically non-existent inflation, Americans planning for retirement only needed about $500,000 in savings, a paid off mortgage, and no revolving debt.
That’s just not true anymore.
A recent survey conducted by Bloomberg suggests that with inflation, rapidly rising interest rates, and a teetering stock market, many Americans believe you need at least $3-5 million to retire. And that’s only if the market holds up!

That $3-5 million figure only works if the market holds up!
However, strategists at Morgan Stanley have forecast the S&P 500 is headed for a 26% drop back into bear market territory early in 2023.
Fortunately, these “retire with ease” numbers are still attainable if you focus on the right investments.
Introducing The Essential Investor “Model Portfolio”
Research shows, all you need are around 20 stocks in your portfolio to diversify risk and get the most stable long-term gains.
So, we’ve hand-curated a list of 20 specific investment ideas, offering complete diversification, opportunities for more aggressive gains based on your individual risk tolerance levels, and ongoing analysis and recommendations based on hundreds of unique data points.

And here’s what’s unique.
While we have allocated 15 investments specifically towards stable, vetted, low-risk picks with a high likelihood of diversified success (including energy stocks, precious metals, industrial companies, and even bonds that hold their value well)…
Investing doesn’t have to be all serious all the time. We’ve selected 5 additional plays that get your heart pumping a little bit and let you have some fun.
When these plays hit, and yield bigger returns… you can take some of the profits, reinvest them in the stable 15 to watch your investment portfolio grow in any market.
Truly Diversified Risk and Rewards
Help You “Retire With Ease” At Your Own Pace
You’ll get true diversification without overextending your portfolio while offering the opportunity for larger, more aggressive returns based on your personal comfort level.
Under the watchful eye of our investment director, The Essential Investor “Model Portfolio” is rebalanced whenever there’s a shift in the market. Or if the companies are meeting our targets, we can double down. Or get more aggressive with speculative plays.
We’ve balanced the model for an investment account holding $100,000 but you don’t have to invest that much… or you can invest more. With an easy to understand weighting system, you’ll know how much of each stock to buy. And when to buy them. Or reinvest.
And you can get full, 24/7, on-demand access to this invaluable investor resource when you claim your limited time discount on annual access to The Essential Investor, Platinum Level.

We’ve secured some of the best investors in the world, all in one place, for one key reason: help our readers thrive in the coming economic downturn. The information contained inside this unprecedented peer-to-peer platform can instantly help you safeguard your finances from danger while targeting windfall profits in the process.
Just about every asset has soared to record highs over the last few years as low interest rates and endless money printing have inflated an already overvalued market ever higher during an unprecedented Bull Run.
But those artificially inflated record highs are crumbling beneath the weight of inflation and recession concerns, just as we’ve seen before.
Many times.
But unlike the past, the government can’t use the same tools they did back then to bail us out today.
They’ve already blown through trillions in free money…
They’ve already exploited interest rates to manipulate the value of your money.
And that means relying on proven, time-tested, investor strategies from proven, time-tested investors who lived through these crises, and thrived in them.
Americans are witnessing a rotation from growth into value, and investors who fail to take action to account for this seismic financial shift could see their hard-earned profits erased overnight. But those who are prepared …
Those who understand the changing economic landscape …
Those who are prepared to take advantage of America’s Generational Failure …
Those savvy investors are positioned to create true generational wealth as a result of America’s financial crisis.
It’s time to take action.
Stop listening to the misinformation and misdirection of Wall Street and TV’s talking heads.
Take control of your own financial future with The Essential Investor and get actionable trade alerts you can cash in on while you learn how to read the market and invest like America’s most accomplished investors and economists.
The Essential Investor is a unique, peer-to-peer program designed to help investors earn while they learn vital, fundamental investor tenets.
