Author Description

Preface: Over the course of the last three decades, I've been an advisor to individual investors, and now - for want of a better description - an advisor to other financial advisors. This book will tell you absolutely everything of critical importance that learned about investing during that time. That's the good news. It may also be the bad news. It's potentially good news because if one labors diligently and lovingly at this profession for over thirty years, as I've tried to do, one learns an awful lot about how markets and investments really work. I need hardly add that, in investing as in life, one learns virtually all great lessons the hard way. At least I did. One also discovers the few big things that really matter in successful investing. One does this by experimenting with, and then discarding, the multiplicity of stuff that turns out not to matter much, or to be just plain unknowable.That painstaking learning process at some point prompted me to say, 'Let me write a little book for my fellow seekers of wealth, so that they can easily learn everything I know with¬out having to make all my mistakes. And in that book, let me tell people just the ultimate essentials, so that they don't have to spend a lot of time and energy learning to filter out then noise.'--- TABLE OF CONTENTS: Chapter One: Finding Your Coach, Chapter Two: An Owner, Not A Loaner,Chapter Three: What The Real Risk Isn't,Chapter Four: What The Real Risk Is,Chapter Five: Behaving Your Way To Wealth,Chapter Six:Growing A Fund Portfolio For All The Seasons Of Your Life
