Mark on CNBC “Power Lunch” – Market Insiders Weigh In
Mark weighed in on his bullish long-term market thoughts, the historic positive returns for equities and his reasoning for being globally diversified. He offers that betting against the economy long-term and focusing on short-term investments is a losing gamble for any investor.

Well done Mark! The short term has nothing but entertainment value. Thx for the continued reinforcement of the context that matters most

Great Job! Keep educating the investor.

The host thought he was plenty diversified. Your answer was perfect. I think a majority of investors frustration is they think they are diversified and when returns dont show and the risk appears in down markets they don’t realize there is a better way.

Good job Mark. Another talking head who thinks he is diversified.

The announcer needs a coach!

Great interview.
The interviewer needs to learn how to invest properly and stop following all the junk he is talking about.

Great job Mark. Brian Pierce should just come out and tell the truth and say “You know Sue – Dubai, Gold, weakeenig dollar – I really don’t have a damn clue”. It would make him sound more credible.

What a crack up. These guys have been on TV for years and it’s always the same garbage. Investainment is what they do, and…you can see that’s how they invest and why the host has done nothing in the last 15 years. Many can learn from the rhetoric. Thanks Mark!!

The host is clueless! I bet he is using active management that is tilted towards large US not employing asset allocation and the three factor model. Keep it up Mark!!

The announcer has been treading water for the last 15 years because he’s probably been taking advice from his guests who promote stock picking, market timing, and track record investing. Agree with Karl. He needs a coach.

Great rebuttal, Mark! Especially the “done very well for the last 15 years.” Will they ever get it? I think the announcer doesn’t have a clue what “diversification” really is. He has a lot of “stuff,” I’m sure. Really good response. Keep it up!

Brian Pierce: Thank you for answering the question, “What happened to Ben Afleck’s character from The Boiler Room?” Drop the blue tooth and get out of that bunker. I was expecting to see Sadam in the background.
Mark: great comment re: diversification. It is the most misunderstood concept in all of investing. Great job as always.

I have to echo the previous comments. Your rebuttal was right on the money. He should be asking himself, Into what Matson model should I put my money.

Looks like CNBC needs a 401(k) plan!

Great job like always Mark. I agree with Dan from a couple of posts above that diversification is the most misunderstood concept in investing.
You are also a champion when talking against all the speculating. I couldnt wait to here your response after hearing the first guest.

Mark, Another great job! I think the host needs a Coach!I bet he’s an active trader that follows all the big firms they cover on the show! Serves him right to be down. “Live by the sword, die by the sword!”

Dude, you blew them up!
