Build Wealth With Common Stocks

An informed investor has a far greater chance of getting rich slow than getting rich fast, and getting rich slowly is better than not at all.

"An informed investor has a far greater chance of getting rich slow than getting rich fast, and getting rich slowly is better than not at all." From the dust jacket's inside flaps: Written for individual investors by an individual investor, in Build Wealth With Common Stocks, David J. Waldron shares actionable ideas to construct a potentially market-beating portfolio of the common shares of enduring companies to fund life's significant milestones. Waldron offers inspiring wisdom and memorable anecdotes to keep the reader moving forward during the endless roller coaster rides of market cycles. On Outperforming Wall Street Despite limited capital, the individual investor on Main Street has the potential to achieve superior returns with lower costs and less risk than the power brokers working on Wall Street. On Being a Thoughtful Investor To paraphrase American baseball legend Yogi Berra, investing is '90 percent half' common sense. The 'other half' is patience and discipline. On Patience Patience is the scarcest and, thereby, the most valuable commodity available to the retail-level investor. On Discipline One rule virtually guarantees you will never lose money on an investment (Chapter Five). On Productive Fear A portfolio constructed on the fear of losing money is destined to outperform a basket thrown together from the fear of missing out. On Taking Ownership Stop placing bets on stocks and start investing in companies. On Active vs. Passive Investing Buy slices of the best companies in the sector, reserving the index for hedging your portfolio. On the Perils of High Yield Dividends Chasing current yield is a recipe for junk equity. Instead, practice this more profitable concept of dividend investing (Chapter Nine). On the Death of Value Investing Value investing is never dead; it's just less popular than short-term growth stories. As long as there are financial markets or farmers' markets, value prevails. On the Benefits of Self-Directed Investing Build your beach or lake house instead of your financial advisor's. On Assessing Risk A risk understood, accepted, and well-managed becomes the risk worth taking. On Being a Defensive Investor Outperform the market by managing the downside while allowing the upside to take care of itself. Copyright 2020-21 by David J. Waldron. All rights reserved.

Paths to Wealth through Common Stocks contains one original concept after another, each designed to greatly improve the results of those who self-manage their investments -- while helping those who rely on professional investment advice select the right advisor for their needs. Originally written by investment legend Philip A. Fisher in 1960, this timeless classic is now reintroduced by his well-known and respected son, successful money manager Ken Fisher, in a new Foreword. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Paths to Wealth through Common Stocks expands upon the innovative ideas found in Fisher's highly regarded Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits -- summarizing how worthwhile profits have been and will continue to be made through common stock ownership, and revealing why his method can increase profits while reducing risk. Many of the ideas found here may depart from conventional investment wisdom, but the impressive results produced by these concepts -- which are still relevant in today's market environment -- will quickly remind you why Philip Fisher is considered one of the greatest investment minds of our time.

"In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence. You'll never find a wiser advisor with a bigger heart." -- Malachi Rempen: Filmmaker, cartoonist, author and self-described ruffian This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things-mostly about money and investing-she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you, is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other.

TRFs (Target Retirement Funds), HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition. Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all. Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey. Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging. What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you.
