I’ve been an individual investor for so long now that I sometimes forget how frustrating and costly it can be for those just getting started. So, let me share some general advice that helps me on my “Quest to Conquer the Markets”.
THERE ARE NO SUCCESSFUL GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES.
Education is the most important process in becoming a better money-manager. A knowledgeable investor is a successful investor.
So, I’ve created this page of FREE online links to information helpful in getting started on your own quest to conquer the markets. These links will present a basic money-management overview, but a visit to your local library to read the references I’ve listed on my Required Reading page will help fill in the blanks.
Successful investing also doesn’t require an over-abundance of knowledge. A little common sense goes a long way -
Try to think like a contrarian and not always follow the herd. No one cares more about your life savings than you, so conduct your own due diligence (investigate), make your own financial and investment decisions, and learn to trust your intuition. You’ll find that your instincts will serve you well.
Most importantly, believe in yourself. I know that YOU CAN DO IT!
