Download or read book The Diary of a Novice Investor written by Mark Slauter and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A neophyte investor shares his experiences and insights as he learns to navigate the world of financial investment by using a fantasy portfolio. Slauter lays the groundwork for his investment?diary? in his book?s first section,?The Set Up,? a vivid, engaging account of the emotional and financial effects of his aging parents? decline and his father?s death. During this time, the author says, he first realized just how expensive getting older could be, so he became determined to take responsibility for his mother?s security by finding out as much as he could about investing. He came up with a fail-safe way to learn without losing?he set up a fantasy investment plan, followed it for a year, and compared it with his mother?s existing investments. His next steps were to keep careful records and share his results with other would-be investors. In 14 subsequent chapters, the author details his fantasy stock portfolio and offers a month-by-month accounting of their activity, including spreadsheet charts of gains and losses. Each chapter ends with a?Lessons Learned? section; at other points, he includes definitions of important terms, among other useful notes. Slauter?s book is packed with information, and he?s clearly a methodical problem-solver with the patience, energy, and skills to do the extensive research needed to develop an investment portfolio. Unfortunately, the promise of the first, compelling chapter isn?t realized in the rest of the book. Readers who don?t share Slauter?s attention to detail may find it hard to stick with his meticulous approach?and perhaps such readers aren?t temperamentally suited to managing their own stocks. Still, the author does a good job of conveying the frustrations of dealing with bureaucratic institutions and email scammers, and he points out repeatedly that investing is hard, confusing, and emotional. Debut illustrator Fuchs? color images are well-drawn and often appealing. However, some of their captions, such as?You know you?re a novice investor when?you think DOW is a kind of boat,? fall a little flat, and the only investor they depict is white and male. A concrete and practical, if sometimes-repetitive, guide to the stock market for the beginner.

Book excerpt: J. Massey wasn't always a highly skilled investor, but through action steps that he shares in this book, he amassed an impressive portfolio of hundreds of properties in just six years using an intensive approach to learning and then putting to use what he learned immediately and at the Speed of Instruction . Starting from less than zero, he used other people's cash and credit to invest in properties, from single-family homes to multi-family dwellings and large apartment complexes to commercial properties. He now owns businesses and teaches others to do exactly what he does today with nothing held back. This insider's look into the world of real estate investing and building a successful business gives readers the absolute road map to their own success as entrepreneurs and investors. Author J. Massey is not an extraordinary human being; he did not have a formal education beyond high school; he entered the real estate market at one of the worst times in history for that industry; his wife was critically ill and he was injured so he could not work. What makes J. Massey different and very successful as a businessman and real estate investor is that he took action and then kept taking action steps - learning and earning, learning and earning - to get him where he is today. He invites readers to join him; his hope is that he can motivate people to make changes in their lives that benefit them, their families and on for generations to come. It is his mission to provide clean, safe, affordable housing. This book is one way to spread his mission and teach others to do the same."

Download or read book Keynes s Way to Wealth Timeless Investment Lessons from The Great Economist written by John F. Wasik and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mr. Wasik’s distillation of how Keynes made--and then remade--his fortune is instructive. And the principles that Keynes followed have stood the test of time. As Mr. Wasik adds, 'The object of investing is to ensure prosperity, not to become obsessed with making money.'" The New York Times John Maynard Keynes indelibly made his mark on global economics... Few people know, however, that he was also a daring, steel-nerved investor who built a multimilliondollar fortune in the stock market while providing financial counsel to the likes of Winston Churchill and FDR. Now, you can learn from--and imitate--Keynes's success by examining the story of his lifeand investment strategies, masterfully told by awardwinning author John F. Wasik. As you follow Keynes from his early years with the Bloomsbury Group, through two world wars and the Great Depression Keynes's theories and practices come to life by way of the historic and personal events that shaped them. Like today's investors, Keynes faced markets roiled by panic, inflation, deflation, widespread unemployment, and war--and he developed a core set of principles to prosper in every climate. With the individual investor in mind, this straightforward guide makes it easy for investors at all levels to implement the action-oriented strategies presented in each of the 10 chapters and start investing like Keynes today by: Buying and holding quality stocks Ignoring short-term news Building diversified portfolios Trading contrary to market momentum Getting the most out of dividend stocks Using the eloquent insight of a seasoned investment writer, author John F. Wasik digs down into what investments Keynes owned, how he bought and sold them, how his theories guided his investments, and vice versa. He illustrates why Keynes's ideas, insights, and portfolio strategies have withstood the test of time, and how they will continue to produce financial gains for dedicated investors. In a nutshell, Wasik delivers a pragmatic guide to the style of portfolio management practiced by such Keynes followers as Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Charles Munger. The smart money gets richer in all types of weather, and so can you by following Keynes's Way to Wealth. PRAISE FOR KEYNES'S WAY TO WEALTH: "Intelligent investing ultimately depends on having an intelligent theory of the economy. This story of Keynes's life as an investor illustrates this beautifully." -- Robert Shiller, professor of Economics, Yale University; New York Times columnist; and author of Finance and the Good Society "The great economist John Maynard Keynes speculated and lost big-time. Out of the ashes, he evolved some great long-term investment strategies that will work for every prudent investor. While picking up tips, you'll also find that this book is a great read." -- Jane Bryant Quinn, author of Making the Most of Your Money NOW "I'd always heard Keynes was a talented investor but never knew any of the details. John Wasik's excellent book uncovers that story and reveals Keynes's considerable investing skills. If you enjoy studying great investors, add this book to your list." -- Joe Mansueto, founder and CEO, Morningstar, Inc. "With the possible exception of Mark Twain, no one surpasses John Maynard Keynes as a source of pithy financial wisdom and sayings. Keynes’s Way to Wealth mines the reasoning and investment experiences behind his quotability, a bounty that will simultaneously edify, entertain, and augment your bottom line." -- William J. Bernstein, author and principal, Efficient Frontier Advisors
