Future San Francisco Giant, Aaron Judge (fingers crossed!) doesn’t wait to swing until a fastball is directly in front of him.

A 95 mph fastball travels so fast that he starts his swing before the ball even leaves the pitcher’s hand.

The same is true with investing. 

The market downturn will end when the Fed is done raising rates.

Scratch that…

When Jerome Powell is done raising rates, the ball will have left his hand.

You need to start your swing before that.

If you wait until the ball’s out of their hands, you’ll be too late to make decent contact. 

At best, you’ll hit a single. At worst, you’ll get a strike.

Yesterday, Uncle Jerome gave a little speech that signaled they maybe… kinda… sorta… MIGHT scale back the next few rate hikes and…

…the markets loved it.

But if you weren’t already invested – aka swinging – you would have missed it. 

The only way to be 100% certain that you’ll participate in the market grand slam that’ll happen when this is all over is to be invested BEFORE it happens.

If you wait until it happens, you’ll be too late.
