In the eyes of many, building wealth or winning with a particular stock pick looks like it relies entirely on luck.
But there’s much more going on underneath the surface.
There’s a saying… “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
The origin of the phrase is disputed, but it’s believed to resemble a quote attributed to Ancient Roman philosopher Seneca. Variations have popped up over the centuries and have been used by everyone ranging from politicians, to TV personalities, to professional wrestlers. Its persistence over time provides the quote with some validity.
In the realm of investing, it can be used to explain how the work of watching the market and strategizing accordingly is exactly the kind of thing that rewards the savvy investor.
That can take a number of different approaches.
It could be following the moves of seasoned executives, watching where they go, and what projects they get involved with. It could be watching certain sectors, keeping up with any news related to those sectors, and then seeing which companies are best positioned to take advantage of that news.
Regardless of the approach, like many things, preparing beforehand is the best path toward success. What many investors don’t realize is that there is a little-known roadblock that often keeps them from being fully prepared to secure the best gains in the market.
It all comes down to the fact that there are over 100 million brokerage accounts in the market, and those accounts generally buy the same 4000 or so stocks that are on the public exchanges.
They all get the same reports and watch the same news and the funds on the other side of those trades are the ones reaping the biggest rewards.
So it’s a relatively small pool for a large number of investors going up against a system that has everything stacked in its favor.
That’s why, for a select group of investors, real fortunes are made in areas out of the public eye. These are opportunities that lie in over 200,000 companies not funded by publicly-sourced investment dollars. Instead, these companies raise capital by reaching out to a small number of investors and offering them enough shares to fill the raise they need.
That opens a window of opportunity that usually only lasts about 48 hours. Then the public is let in on the trade and the window closes. The people who got in early are raking in triple- and quadruple-digit returns while everyone else is fighting for whatever is left.
If you’re one of those early investors, your competition is a few dozen others, instead of a few million.
That tool used to build real fortunes is what’s called a private placement. And the best of the best of those private placements create what are called Prime Windows.
The big thing about Prime Windows is that they not only allow access to the kinds of people who know the investment landscape in and out, but also the people who know the companies inside and out.
That means financiers, executives, and other decision makers who are as close to the action as a person can get.
Having this kind of network and using that as part of a system for determining which investments have the biggest moneymaking potential are key to building wealth most investors can only dream of.
By that, I mean plays that do things like turning a $10,000 investment into $740,000.
That isn’t the kind of thing that comes with luck. It comes as a result of preparation and opportunity.
And it’s only possible to get there through something like Prime Windows.
It’s what Nick Hodge has used to build everything he has, and now he’s pulling back the curtain on this little-known corner of the market.
