    Best practices for rebalancing your investment portfolio for long-term growth

    Why rebalancing matters more than you think Most investors spend weeks выбирая фонды и акции, а затем годами игнорируют структуру портфеля.

    Why money blows up right before launch You can do everything “right”: Steam page early, wishlist funnel, Discord buzzing — and then the budget collapses two months before release.
