<<Aiii>> Notes from the USA (Apr 2012) - a guest post

If you are like most small investors who has been in the investing
game for some time, you probably have an unplanned and unwieldy
portfolio of funds/stocks with a lot of losers and a few winners. Loss
aversion may motivate you to hang on to the losers with the hope that
they will somehow by some miracle turn into winners – or, at the very
least, allow you to break even. The few winners are quickly disposed
off at small profits lest they turn into losers as well.

How does one break out of this losing cycle of 'cutting the flowers
and watering the weeds'? Learning the rules of the game before playing
it is a necessary pre-condition – but it isn't sufficient. Not knowing
the rules is courting disaster, but just knowing the rules won't turn
you into a good player. For success in your investments, you must be
dispassionate and learn to be patient and disciplined. Easier said
than done?

In this month's guest post, KKP suggests how you can generate better
returns by actively managing your investments with an asset allocation
plan that takes some of the emotion and guesswork out of your
investment decisions.
