On Investing Well:
The Elements of Good Investing
By: Chris Merchant, CFP®
About the Book
Learn How to Navigate the Complex World of Investing.
“Many people run into trouble while investing because they focus on methods first, ignoring principles. They think they can find the perfect method with which to invest, but there is no magic formula for investing success. Successful investors’ secrets lie not in the methods they use, but in the principles to which they adhere.”
The United States is entering an Era of Personal Responsibility. Gone are the days when you could work for the same company for forty years and retire with a generous pension. In this new system, you bear most of the burden for saving for a college education, health care and retirement. If you want to survive and thrive, it is up to you to make it happen. No one else is going to do it for you.
Our education system does not teach us how to invest well, and most of the available material on investing is unhelpful, inaccurate or confusing.
