Step by Step Investing: A Beginner's Guide to the Best Investments in Stocks

Create a Simple Investing Strategy and Beat the Stock Market Game Wall Street has brainwashed both of us! It's brainwashed you into thinking that you need to 'beat' the stock market to achieve your financial goals. Is it a coincidence that to do this, you need to pay for advice and brokerage fees from those same Wall Street firms? Wall Street has also brainwashed investment analysts like me. We're made to believe that everyone needs our advice and that advice needs to be a complicated investing strategy of timing and trading. It was only when I got off Wall Street and onto main street that I realized the truth. Spend enough time with real investors and you realize they just want a simple investing strategy that will help reach their financial goals. They want it laid out in a way that's easy to follow and they don't want to lose sleep every night worrying about their money. That's what this book is about! This book is the first in a series of four, outlining a step-by-step process for a simple investing strategy. This book will get you started in what investing is really about and how to build an investing plan that's right for YOUR goals. We'll start with the ten investing basics that every investor must know and how to actually win the stock market game. I'll show you how to get started investing and a step-by-step approach to build your own investing plan.

Other Investing Books only Offer Academic Theories and Vague Investing Strategies Through study for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation and for my own portfolio, I've seen my share of the vague strategies and theories in other investing books. For this book, I wanted more than the usual suspects of P/E ratio and the author's opinion of the best stock investments. This book is more than a superficial how-to for mutual funds investing or stock analysis. Step-by-Step Investing lays out a simple investing strategy that does what none of the other investing books even try...it matches your investing strategy with YOUR financial goals. After laying the groundwork with investing basics and the reason why investors lose the stock market game, the book details six investing steps from how to set up an online account and buy stocks online to picking the best investments for your goals and a simple way to maintain your portfolio. Unlike other investing books, Step-by-Step Investing is a complete wealth management book that lays out everything from how to budget your investing dollars to when to sell stocks. If you want an investing guide that matches your goals with the best investments in a simple strategy you can buy and hold, scroll back up and click buy.
