#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The clearest and best book out there to get you on the path to riches. This one’s special!”—Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money “Great tools for anyone wanting to dabble in the stock market.”—USA Today Phil Town is a very wealthy man, but he wasn’t always. In fact, he was living on a salary of $4,000 a year when some well-timed advice launched him down a highway of investing self-education that revealed what the true “rules” are and how to make them work in one’s favor. Chief among them, of course, is Rule #1: “Don’t lose money.” In this updated edition to the #1 national bestseller, you’ll learn more of Phil’s fresh, think-outside-the-box rules, including: • Don’t diversify • Only buy a stock when it’s on sale • Think long term—but act short term to maximize your return • And most of all, beat the big investors at their own game by using the tools designed for them! As Phil demonstrates in these pages, giant mutual funds can’t help but regress to the mean—and as we’ve all learned in recent years, that mean could be very disappointing indeed. Fortunately, Rule #1 takes readers step-by-step through a do-it-yourself process, equipping even the biggest investing-phobes with the tools they need to make quantum leaps toward financial security—regardless of where the market is headed.

7 Key Principles for Christian Investing by Austin Pryor Pdf
H ow does "Christian investing" differ from investing generally? Is it a matter of avoiding all risk? Of refusing to invest in certain companies? Of seeking out only "Christian" investments?Actually, a Christian approach to investing begins with an attitude -- an attitude of seeking God's glory. Indeed, our premise at Sound Mind Investing is that the number one priority for a Christian investor is to glorify God.In this SMI Special Report, I will discuss seven core principles of "investing for the glory of God." And I'll explain how these seven concepts also yield great benefits to you, the Christian investor. Because not only does investing for God's glory honor the Lord, it also provides significant safety for investors.I have become convinced that it is ultimately impossible to self-destruct financially if your decision-making is pointed in the direction of God's glory.I also have learned that to find peace of mind in investment decisions, it's important to become an initiator rather than a responder. Initiators have a concrete game plan in mind. They have made the effort to develop a strategy consistent with their long-term financial goals and personal investment temperament.An investor who is an initiator is like a grocery shopper buying ingredients for a specific recipe. When confronted with "great deals" that aren't on your shopping list, you can simply pass them by and stay focused on your plan!Another thing to keep in mind is the difference between investing and speculating. Speculating involves taking a level of risk so great that it's theoretically possible to lose most (or all!) of the money you have invested.Investing, on the other hand, involves putting your money to work, subject to modest levels of risk, in a commercial undertaking where you expect a reasonable return over a long period of time.What's reasonable? I would suggest 3%-5% above the rate of inflation.Think of it this way. Investing isn't about getting rich quick. It is about growing wealth over a long period of time, so that you can (1) provide for future needs (such as college and retirement), and (2) have more resources to give to support the Lord's work.With that bit of background, let's focus now on seven "core principles" that I hope will guide your thinking and your actions as a Christian investor.

In this essential handbook—a blend of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Happiness Project—the co-host of the wildly popular InvestED podcast shares her yearlong journey learning to invest, as taught to her by her father, investor and bestselling author Phil Town. Growing up, the words finance, savings, and portfolio made Danielle Town’s eyes glaze over, and the thought of stocks and financial statements shut down her brain. The daughter of a successful investor and bestselling financial author of Rule #1, Phil Town, she spent most of her adult life avoiding investing—until she realized that her time-consuming career as lawyer was making her feel anything but in control of her life or her money. Determined to regain her freedom, vote for her values with her money, and deal with her fear of the unpredictable stock market, she turned to her father, Phil, to help her take charge of her life and her future through Warren Buffett-style value investing. Over the course of a year, Danielle went from avoiding everything to do with the financial industrial complex to knowing exactly how and when to invest in wonderful companies. In Invested, Danielle shows you how to do the same: how to take command of your own life and finances by choosing companies with missions that match your values, using the same gold standard strategies that have catapulted Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to the top of the Forbes 400. Avoiding complex math and obsolete financial models, she turns her father’s investing knowledge into twelve easy-to understand lessons. In each chapter, Danielle examines the investment strategies she mastered as her increasing know-how deepens the trust between her and her father. Throughout, she streamlines the process of making wise financial decisions and shows you just how easy—and profitable—investing can be. Capturing a warm, charming, and down-to-earth give and take between a headstrong daughter and her mostly patient dad, Invested makes the complex world of investing simple, straightforward, and approachable, and will help you formulate your own investment plan—and foster the confidence to put it into action.

Income Investing Explained: Your Questions Answered by Henry Mah Pdf
After writing two books about Income Investing, I have been contacted regularly by readers with questions and requests for more information. It’s not often one feels compelled to write a book because of questions from readers, but that’s exactly how this book came about. It’s not that readers didn’t understand the process I described, it’s just that people wanted more details, had specific suggestions and needed more information about making investing decisions, especially during different (and difficult) market conditions. In essence, people wanted an advanced outline to build upon the process described in my earlier books. So, the purpose of this book is not to repeat the process of stock evaluation, which is the foundation of my earlier books, but to provide further explanations and examples to help when making investing decisions. -Where to find ideal stocks for Income investing -How to determine under-valued stocks -How many stocks should you hold and in which sectors? -When to sell, even your long-time good stocks -What happens and how your decisions might change during a market crisis -Is it ever too late to start investing for income? I’ll also introduce a new Excel worksheet to help readers determine under-valued or expensive stocks, directing you to a new website for obtaining dividend data, and even provide a list of 45 Canadian and 35 US stocks, from which to begin your selection of quality income growth stocks. As always, these are my opinions and not professional financial advice. So, if you have the time and want to learn more, let’s continue talking about Income Investing!
