Book description
Who's going to provide for your future? There's a crisis looming in
pensions. Investing in property is time-consuming and risky. Savings
accounts yield very little return. If you're not careful, you could be
looking at a very uncomfortable retirement. But surely the alternative
- investing in the stock market - is risky, complicated and best left
to the professionals?
Phil Town doesn't think so. He made a fortune, and in Rule #1
he'll show you how he did it.
Rule #1:
- Sets out the five key numbers that really count when you're
buying stocks and shares
- Explains how to use new Internet tools to simplify research
- Shows how to exploit the advantages of being an individual investor
- Demonstrates how to pay fifty pence for every pound's worth of
business
This simple and straightforward method will guide you to 15% or
better annual returns - in only 15 minutes a week. It's money in the bank!
Following several years with the Special Forces during the Vietnam
war, Phil Town returned to the United States and supported himself
working seven months a year as a river guide in the Grand Canyon. His
annual income was in the low four figures. After some split-second
heroics on his part saved a boatload of Outward Bound trustees from a
whitewater disaster, a grateful financial expert who had been onboard
took Town under his wing and taught him the first principles of Rule #1
investing. Town managed to put together a 00 stake and within five years
had turned it into million. Today Town is worth many multiples of that
and appears regularly on the same dais as people like Rudy Giuliani,
Tommy Franks and Colin Powell, instructing up to 30,000 people at a time
in the art of successful investing.
