Monitor Market Progress: You must monitor general market progress to
make sure you are on track to reach your goal.
If you have adopted the 12%
growth goal, you can break it down into a monthly goal. As long as the general market is on track to
reach your goal, 1% a month, there
should be dozens of Leveraged ETFs that are also on track.
