Download or read book Payback Time written by Phil Town and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t get mad, get even… Phil Town’s first book, the #1 New York Times bestseller Rule #1, was a guide to stock trading for people who believe they lack the knowledge to trade. But because many people aren’t ready to go from mutual funds directly into trading without understanding investing—for the long term – he created Payback Time. Too often, people see long-term investing as “mutual fund contributing” – otherwise known as “long-term hoping.” But the sad truth is that mutual fund investors are, to a stunning degree, pinning their hopes on an institution that is hopeless. It turns out that only 4% of fund managers consistently beat the S&P 500 index over the long term, which means that 96% of fund investors see a smaller return on their nest egg than a chimpanzee who simply buys stocks in the 500 biggest companies in America and watches what happens. But it’s worse than that. The net effect of hitching your wagon to mutual funds is that over a lifetime they’ll fritter away as much 60% of your nest egg in fees. Once you understand how funds engineer this, you’ll rush to invest on your own. Payback Time’s risk-free approach is called “stockpiling” and it’s how billionaires get rich in bad markets. It’s a set of rules for investing (not trading but investing) in the right businesses at the right time -- rules that will ensure you make the big money.

In this next book in the preschool series, Time for School! shows how the whole community comes together for the first day of class. Mr. Meyer picks out his nicest sweater, Dylan ties his favorite shoes—and Mrs. Martinez, the crossing guard, has been waiting for this day all summer long. She joins the bus driver, the school principal, the lunchroom and playground staff, and, of course, all of the teachers, as they welcome the children of Tinyville Town Elementary back to school. And when a new girl shows up, everyone knows just what to do to make her feel right at home. Brian Biggs’ read-aloud Tinyville Town series launched in 2016 with three books: the world-establishing picture book Gets to Work! and two board books, I’m a Veterinarian and I’m a Firefighter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating tale The Town Time Forgot begins in New York City when a U.S. marshal, Devon McKenzie, and NYC Detective Chris Gates end up transporting a well-known prisoner along the interstate. The two officers have never gotten along and are squabbling when their prisoner is forcefully removed from them en route during a time when the Aurora Borealis is at its brightest. The van they are driving is wrecked and the officers are injured. They spend the next three days surviving in an isolated wilderness area. When they come upon a farmer, he takes them back to his house, where they are shocked to find that they have been transported back in time to 1869 Nebraska. The farmer and his family wrongly assume the two are married, so Devon and Chris play along until they can figure out what happened and how they can get home. Over the next three months, they learn to rely and trust each other. The two become close and fall in love. During the supposedly safer "good old days," the two suffer violence at the hands of a lawless society. Devon and Chris adjust to an era when corruption dictates the law. They must play the game or suffer. Will they make it as a couple? And more importantly, will they ever make it back to their own time? Growing up in a small town in Kentucky, Lisa Colodny always loved to tell stories. The author currently works in the health care industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The essence of stockpiling is to buy stock in a business you’d be excited to own all of, then hope the price goes down so you can stash, accumulate, and collect as much as you can afford at as low a price as possible. #2 You must stop thinking that stock investing is any different from buying a business. When you buy a business, you're buying shares of the business. If you buy a portion of the total shares, you become a part owner. Buy all the shares and you own the whole business. #3 The classic part of the story is that as prices of the businesses Berkshire owned plummeted, Mr. Buffett was attacked for being over the hill and out of touch. The fact is, stockpiling is something people either get right away or never understand at all, no matter how much sense the strategy makes or how much money the people who practice it make. #4 The secret to stockpiling is to make sure the value of the company is substantially greater than the price you are paying for it. If you get this right, you cannot help but get rich.
