| By E.B. Tucker, Editor, Strategic Trader “You’re crazy.” That’s what my grandpa told me right before I made a move that saved me over $80,000. Now, my grandpa was a smart man, and a smart investor. In fact, he’s the person who first introduced me to investing when I was a kid. And we had a very close relationship. I valued his opinion tremendously. But this time, we disagreed on how to play a certain stock. And I was forced to follow my gut instinct – even if it meant going against my grandpa’s advice. How did it play out? I’ll explain in a moment. Just know that it was probably the biggest investment lesson I’ve ever learned. But first… | Recommended Link | | E.B. Tucker: “See This Envelope In My Hand?” Rest assured… It’s in a half-ton safe (hidden in a back room of E.B.’s house and bolted to the floor) for a reason. It holds the secret to the bulk of his personal fortune. This secret is responsible for extraordinary real-life gains like: 218%… 220%… 277%… 350%… 420%… 433%… 650%… 1,054%… 2,450%… 3,922%… 5,509%… and 6,200%. This is likely something you’ve never seen before. In fact, 99.99% of Americans have no idea this secret investment exists. (It’s not stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, futures, mutual funds, digital currency, or private equity and it only trades under secret codes hidden from the public) On February 5 at 8 p.m., he’ll reveal all the details on these special investments during his Explosive Profits Summit. | | | -- | Starting Young My grandfather’s mentorship is part of what allowed me to experience the investing success I have today. By the time I was 30, I had accrued $250,000 from my investment gains alone. Since then, I’ve founded several companies, including one I recently helped take public. And I’ve spotted plenty of lucrative trends before they hit the mainstream. For example, I made 15,000% from a blockchain mining deal as cryptocurrencies started to pick up steam… and I warned my readers to sell their bitcoin before the Crypto Winter of 2018. Like I said, it was my grandpa who taught me the concept of stocks – that you could own part of a company and share in the profits without showing up to work there every day. To my 8-year-old self working in my father’s furniture store, this was fascinating. I remember going out to get the newspaper in the morning to check on stocks. I would always look for the “B’s” to find BB&T Bank, because its headquarters was in my hometown at the time, I knew my grandfather sat on the bank’s board, and I wanted to know what the stock was doing. That was where it all started. But in 2008, we had a disagreement over the right move on a key stock… | Recommended Link | Wall St legend who picked last 2 "investments of the decade" reveals "#1 for 2020s" Picking the right "investment of the decade" can transform your life… Microsoft in the '80s… Amazon in the '90s… Apple in the 2020s… Bitcoin 2010.

It's not 5G, artificial intelligence, or the internet of things. The answer will surprise you. And, for those who take early action, it could lead to an eventual $1.6 million payout. | | | | Time to Get Out My grandpa and I both owned shares in a company called Lincoln National (LNC), a major life insurance and annuity company. We acquired the shares when Lincoln National bought a smaller life insurance company that we already owned. We both looked at the company as a long-term holding. My grandfather had stocks in many companies. And usually held them for a long time. He taught me that that’s the secret to wealth. Let the business grow. Trading in and out of stocks too frequently meant missing out on that powerful wealth compounding effect. But I started to get nervous. I had concerns that the annuity business that LNC was getting involved in would turn south… and cause shares to plummet. I made a gut decision. I called my broker on a Monday morning, just before the stock market opened. I told him to sell my shares of LNC at the open. He said, “Are you sure you want to do this?” I told him yes. He wasn’t the only one who doubted me. So did my grandpa. I called him up and told him I was going to sell LNC. That was when he called me crazy. He told me we had a huge capital gain from Lincoln National buying the smaller company, and now I would have to pay taxes on that if I sold the shares now. This was the toughest part. I wanted to listen to my gut, but my grandpa wasn’t making me feel super-confident. It was tempting to just go along with the flow. But I didn’t. What happened next proved I made the right call… Don’t Be Part of the Herd My broker sold the LNC shares at $54 at the market open, and I pocketed over $80 grand. 
Less than two months later, LNC fell 91%… all the way to about $5 a share. Check it out below… 
But I didn’t waste time patting myself on the back. After LNC crashed, I bought back more than 1,700 shares. I even increased my original position by 16%. And all told, I saved more than $80,000 from being wiped out by the market, which I then used to buy up assets on the cheap. It was tough to make that call. Not only was I going against the popular sentiment, but I was ignoring the advice of a trusted family member. However, going against the herd and being an independent thinker is absolutely critical to investing… Human beings naturally want to behave like cattle. They want to follow someone, no matter what. And the whole time they’re following that someone, they think to themselves, “I’m an independent thinker. No one tells me what to do.” It’s difficult to fight that instinct to belong to a group. But you often have to if you want success as an investor. It’s how I’ve managed to make some of my best calls. And learning to do this is how you get on the path to achieving financial independence.

Editor, Strategic Trader P.S. If you really want to break free from the herd – and see the kind of returns that made me rich – you need to do more than just buy stocks.
