How To Invest If You Can't Afford To Lose
From the Introduction:
This book is for people who need to invest, but are concerned about losing their money. You have every right to be concerned. With volatile markets, bad advice, high fees and just general confusion about what to do, many people simply do nothing, hold cash or hand over their savings to a stranger to manage. Fear prevents many people from investing and succeeding at necessary goals. Large previous losses may have left a deep psychological scar.
It’s true. Investors face a very uncertain future with the US deep in debt. Trillions in government deficits and future liabilities are causing the dollar to fall against gold and major currencies. The answer for investors is not speculation or placing all your money into a narrow asset class.
Financial markets can protect investor wealth if money is properly allocated among asset classes. It’s my belief that millions of investors need a way to get consistent returns, but can’t afford to lose much money. They want protection from bad advice and excessive risk. They want their money to grow every year and preferably with a return on par with the best pension funds. They want protection from inflation and recessions. If those ideas sound appealing, then this book is for you.
This book is about financial ideas that work. It’s also about avoiding actions that cause failure. It’s not about creating complicated financial plans, paying for silly revocable trusts, or wasting time and money dealing with the high fees and self-serving advice offered by many giant financial firms.
The way to financial independence certainly requires saving some money. More important, is getting a good rate of return. Most important, is having confidence in a plan proven to work over many years. If you can gain knowledge and confidence, then you won’t sabotage your efforts by panicking in and out of the market.
If you can’t afford to lose, then risk is everything. Winning at investing is doable and I’ll prove it to you. I’ll show simple and innovative ways to self-manage your investment money with conservative asset mixes that haven’t lost money in decades. If you’ve been fearful about investing, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
If you can read, you can win. You have everything it takes to be successful.
In this book, I’ll explain methods that grow wealth and provide a life of security. There is no such thing as certainty in this life. However, I am confident, if you’ll follow a few simple steps, you will succeed at safely growing your savings and the results will exceed your expectations.
