Years ago, during a high school golf match, as I was angrily searching for my ball after an errant tee shot, my coach walked up to me to offer some support.
After sharing the typical platitudes – “keep your head in the game,” “stay focused,” etc. – he finished by saying, “The mark of a young man is how he responds to adversity.”
I wish I could tell you that his pep talk spurred me on to a historic performance, culminating in my teammates carrying me off the golf course on their shoulders while chanting my name… but the rest of my round actually ended up being quite forgettable.
And yet, my coach’s words have still stuck with me more than a decade later.
Even though they were meant to encourage an emotionally fragile high schooler with a deeply flawed golf swing, I think they apply just as much to the current market environment.
Being able to stand tall and keep a level head in a turbulent market is never easy… but it’s essential to building wealth.
Luckily, that’s exactly what Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld – along with the rest of our strategists and experts here at The Oxford Club – is helping our Members do.
Beyond his insights in Wealthy Retirement, The Oxford Income Letter, and his VIP services, Marc has also held numerous live sessions with Members in The Oxford Clubroom (our interactive video chat room) over the past few months, easing their nerves with his calm and rational response to the chaos in the market.
Today, I’d like to do something I’ve never done before in Wealthy Retirement: share not one… not two… but THREE of Marc’s recent Clubroom sessions with you.
After the first, DavidLK posted in the Clubroom chat, “Exceptional Clubroom information – Thank you Marc for making me great returns with bonds! I used to trade mostly stocks – now I mostly trade bonds using Marc’s recommendations!”
After the second, AlfredoNV wrote, “Thanks for revisiting why to build a balanced portfolio!”
And after the third, Teelo said, “Thank you Marc and Alex for giving us confidence to stay in the market!”
I hope these videos are helpful, and remember…
The mark of a successful investor is how they respond to adversity.
Marc’s Near-Perfect Investing Strategy
Anyone who has a 99.1% success rate in anything ought to be taken very seriously…
And that’s exactly what Marc has accomplished in his Oxford Bond Advantage service. (That’s 113 wins out of 114 recommendations. Not too shabby!)
Recently, Marc and Oxford Club CEO Todd Skousen sat down to discuss Marc’s specific bond criteria, why everyone – yes, everyone – should own bonds, and The Oxford Club’s overall asset allocation model.
The Best Alternatives to Stocks
With the market suffering from a seemingly constant barrage of “news grenades,” it’s prudent to consider alternatives to stocks.
In this session, Marc, Todd, and Rich Checkan, the Club’s go-to gold expert, met to chat about bonds, gold, and more.
For anyone wondering whether they should buy bonds or gold right now, Marc says the answer is… both!
Tariff-Driven Opportunities With Alex and Marc
Last week, Marc joined Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green to discuss what’s likely been the biggest topic in America so far in 2025: tariffs.
The two discussed the Trump administration’s approach to tariffs, its effect on the market, and whether stocks are near the bottom or still have more room to fall.
But most importantly, they answered viewers’ questions and explained what investors can do to protect themselves in volatile markets.
