Don't "Charlie Sheen" Your Real Estate Investment Portfolio

JasonHartman.comYou know you've made an indelible mark on the American culture when your name can be used as a verb and everyone understands the meaning perfectly. Has anyone besides us noticed that Mr. Sheen has gone a bit off his rocker lately? To be perfectly honest, his manic, incoherent behavior leads us to believe he might have been the victim of an unfortunate self-administered lobotomy performed with a pencil under the effect of cocaine. We're just saying, "Dude, we'd have to think long and hard to come up with a better example of a public implosion." Actually, maybe not that long and hard. Lindsey Lohan.

But what does Charlie Sheen have to do with your investment portfolio? Hopefully nothing. We would suggest you never ask him to be your financial adviser, but his self-destructive behavior does bring to mind a certain type of "stealth" destruction you might be inadvertently perpetrating on your own investments.

Our first bit of advice is don't invest in the show "Two and a Half Men." That bird has flow the coop and jumped the shark all at once. But here's the real question. Are you banking on Wall Street assets like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds to provide income for your golden years? If so, our best advice is to begin preparing an exit strategy immediately. Wall Street is even more of an insider's game than it used to be. With the Creating Wealth show, we've chronicled the decline and fall of the American Dream for those still banking on the stock market.

Enron and Bernie Madoff are just a few scoundrels that have been caught. You can bet that there are thousands out there skimming profits out of your investment portfolio that will never feel the heat of a federal investigation. Too much crime. Not enough crime fighters. The odds are in their favor. Jason Hartman, founder of Platinum Properties Investor Network has been a long time proponent of loading your investment portfolio with income property. It's proven to be history's best performing asset and allows you to cut the middleman broker out of the loop.

The secret to success and avoiding opening a can of Charlie Sheen on your investments is to maintain direct control at all times. Good luck out there.
