From the Author
The short excerpt chapter on amazon (The Loser's Game) says what many conservative investors know--that trying harder to force high returns usually leads to bad investment decisions. I hope you'll read and enjoy the online chapter! And, amazon.com has a Table of Contents, so you can see the other topics which are covered. Many conservative investors will want to select their own stocks, and I hope I provide some valuable insight into selecting solid businesses which will prove to be profitable investments for you. Another big theme of the book is avoiding the common mistakes that cost investors money and protecting your portfolio from loss. It's important to remember that money lost isn't just money lost. It's money that is unavailable to compound and build future wealth. This is where the conservative investor who focuses upon buying stock in great companies at reasonable prices has a big advantage. I tried to make investment more lively by relating it to more personal topics like tennis, golf, shopping for toothpaste, or survival on a desert island. I hope this makes the investing lessons memorable and fun. I think investors will find "Becoming An Investor" a valuable addition to their investment libraries. I hope you will order your copy of "Becoming An Investor" today because I think it will help you become a better long-term investor. I hope you'll enjoy reading it!
