HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Getting the best returns for 2019 comes down to a straightforward formula, and if followed you can generate a much higher return in the market. The adage "you can only generate 10-12% per year" is antiquated for most investors with the right system in place in 2019.

1.         Buy 2 Index Funds: (SPY and DIA):

An individual stock may go out of business, but an index fund will not. Since the S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq are not going to go out of existence any time soon, one of the best things you can do for your future is to invest long-term into an index fund and let time do the magic for you. An index fund is like an all-star team. So, while you may not pick the right stock on your own, the other stocks in your index fund will generally make up for poorly performing stocks.

2.         Buy 2 Tech Stocks:

The truth is, you don't need 40 stocks in your portfolio to get high returns in the market. It's often a huge mistake. It causes your gains to be hampered when some of the stocks in your portfolio are winning the others are losing which causes you to minimize your growth in your account. I suggest focusing on a total of four stocks that historically have been strong and continued to grow over time. Netflix, Amazon, and Google are great examples. Microsoft has also performed well as it went from $34.63 to a high of $106.16 in five years - a 306% gain in five years.

Technology has ruled the American economy for the past 100 years. Ford's technological advantage was the assembly line.  Nowadays, we recognize Netflix's edge is their customer base that pays every month, and Apple's strengths are their dominant position and the smartphone market as well as their subscription model. Take advantage of the genius of these CEOs and their fantastic team and profit by investing in these companies.

3.         Add more shares to your index funds and tech stocks EVERY SINGLE MONTH:

The habit of doing this is even more important than anything. Whether a recession or bear market, you want to continue to invest because after the period ends, we usually see another robust bearish market. My long-standing thesis is that the market is rigged. In other words, it's engineered to stay up for long periods, and your children are going to need this money in 10, 20, or 30 years.

4.         The One Asset You Should Be Using That Pays 100x More than Stocks: 

What if I told you there is an asset paying 100 times more than stocks, is entirely trustworthy, and a lot of professionals around the world already have been using it decades to get higher returns? Would you want to know what it is? Sadly, when I talk to people about investing 90% aren't using this asset in their portfolio to make money, and this asset is called futures.

If you have 100 shares of Apple and it goes up $15, you will profit $1500. Not bad, but not enough to change your life or the trajectory of your family.

If you have 100 shares (contracts) of S&P 500 futures and it goes to $12, you will profit $150,000, and in some cases, you can do this in less than a week. This scenario is an example of one of those hidden assets that almost no one knows about except a handful of people that are already generating exceptional gains in the market.

5.         Short the market during times of crisis or a crash:

Do you know you can make money when the market goes down right?

I was in a meeting with an NBA player this October when the Dow dropped 800 points in one day. He asked, "why aren't you worried?" I said to him "you know you can make money when the market drops right?" The truth is he had no clue that this was even an option as I am pretty sure most people reading this don't know this is an option. When the market is poised to drop, I would recommend short the ES Future and the NQ future simultaneously. If you had 25 shares (contracts) of each and aimed for a $15 target for both, you would profit $65,000 in less than 24 hours. It will offset any bleeding that you are experiencing in your long-term account and will put a smile on your face while you're patiently waiting for the market to turn back up.

Although the market always goes back up it is not fun to look at your long-term account and see it's down 15% or 25%, so this is a simple way you can profit when the market drops, and everyone is pessimistic. As Warren Buffett famously said, "be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful" and remember that the market is rigged to stay up.
