Fast Follow Investing draws parallels with the fast follow technology strategy. It also sounds much better than 'Tactical Asset Allocation' or TAA. TAA is the investment strategy on which Fast Follow Investing is based. My logo choice of raised glasses aims to make its implementation enjoyable. For Fast Follow Investing to work, you must calculate and make trades of passive, indexed ETFs every month. I suggest scheduling a monthly date night or friendly meet-up, given your stage in life. Include dinner and raised glasses of whatever you most enjoy and stay committed to the strategy.
