Dear Fellow Investor,
Are you wondering how to get started in stock investing?
Has the sub-prime mess and credit crisis got you confused?
Are you holding stocks you should really sell?
Do you truly understand the stock market?
Are you overwhelmed by information overload?
SENSIBLE STOCK INVESTING: How to Pick, Value, and Manage Stocks has a 5-
star reader rating on Amazon.com, with accolades like these:
I am proud to receive comments like that for this book that I designed specifically
for busy individuals.
The Challenge for Individual Investors
The biggest challenge for individual investors is time. You need tools and
guidelines to help cut through information overload and simplify confusing
jargon. You also need self-awareness and sound strategies to keep "bad investor
psychology" from sabotaging your own efforts.
Once those problems are solved, you can attain superior results: performance
that consistently meets or exceeds your reasonable goals, while minimizing risk
to your hard-earned money.
Many investors are stuck at an unproductive level. They lack the knowledge and
techniques to pick good stocks at good values. They buy and sell at the wrong
times. They act on hot tips, influenced by self-defeating emotions. They do not
conduct their investing in a businesslike fashion.
How SENSIBLE STOCK INVESTING Will Help
My book is a step-by-step guide that is sophisticated enough for the experienced
investor, but also clear enough for the beginner to understand and implement
immediately. While based on sound theory, the book is not an academic tome.
You need not be a math major, economics expert, or experienced investor to use
it.
With its help, you will build your knowledge and develop a sound, systematic
approach that helps you make better investment decisions. Decisions that are
rational; fact-based; unemotional; strategic; and that you can execute
methodically. You will learn how to...
• Separate good companies from bad ones, so you can concentrate on the
best candidates for investment;
• Value stocks accurately, so you can find the bargains among desirable
stocks; and
• Manage your portfolio optimally, so that your buy, hold, and sell decisions
generate the greatest cumulative returns.
I call someone who does these three things a “Sensible Stock Investor.”
Does It Work?
You may be wondering, “Can a system designed for the individual outperform
mutual funds, brokerage house recommendations, investment newsletters, and
the market itself?”
The answer is “Yes.” In fact, while writing SENSIBLE STOCK INVESTING, I
created and funded two portfolios to demonstrate my approach in action. One
portfolio is designed mainly for capital gains, the other for a combination of
capital gains and dividends. The portfolios are still running, and their results are
updated monthly on this Web site.
The portfolios are not “models.” They do not ignore commissions and transaction
costs. They are actual real-money portfolios, maintained at E-Trade.
Since their inceptions in 2001 and 2002, the combined portfolios have beaten the
market. The first portfolio has risen 150% more than the S&P 500 Stock Index
during its existence, and the second has gained 27% more, while also providing
significant dividends.
