I’m a fan of buying what you know, and I’ve had a lot of success with it through the years. It’s a key part of how I identify the NexGen mega-trends that provide the foundation for the best stocks within those trends to outperform. The key is to distinguish between a fad that will fizzle out – although you can still make money even in a fad, especially in short-term trading – and a trend that will continue to grow and generate wealth for years to come. Making money in the stock market doesn’t have to be complicated.
