This book will teach you how to invest in the stock market so that you don’t lose money and achieve a better return than the S&P 500. I take you through the process step by step and teach you everything you need to know to be a successful investor. This style of investing has never been taught before. You will learn: Why it is so important to become an investor - The dangers of other people’s opinions - What you are getting from your current funds - Which companies to invest in - When to buy - How to set up your portfolio - When to sell - Tax implications - How to get the data you need - Why other investments don’t work If you are currently invested in a mutual fund, hedge fund, 401(k) or IRA, you need to read this book. What fees are you currently paying? What are your returns? They are much worse than you think. 96% of mutual fund and hedge fund managers can’t beat the S&P 500 over any sustained period of time. I have achieved a 13.54% average annual return since the beginning of 2010, compared with the S&P 500 at 9.91% during the same time period by investing in stocks that are in the Mid Cap, Large Cap and Mega Cap lists on the NYSE. I will teach you exactly how to achieve similar results. I also back tested my results to 1980, achieving a 11.75% average annual return using stocks in the S&P 500. This investment approach works under all market conditions, even during the market crashes of 1987, 2000 and 2008. I will teach you how to protect your money during market crashes and how to make a substantial profit when everyone else is losing everything. Investing isn’t hard, but the industry has been set up to make it seem difficult. I will show you where you are being mis-led and how to start making much better returns than you are currently getting, while considerably minimizing your risk.
