Fred explains why staying the course is not always the best option.  He uses the game show Let’s Make a Deal as one example in pointing out statistics that show how it can be beneficial for contestants to trade their existing prize for what’s behind the curtain.  He also points out how it may be wise to look for alternatives when you find your investments are down as opposed to sticking with the plan.  Fred then answers another question in the “Stump the Guru” segment.  The listener asked Fred to boil down investing to one simple rule.   Hear his answer and submit your question at www.moneymattersusa.net.  Just click podcast and the dropdown for Stump the Guru.
