The investment industry has complicated the investing process; the bookshelves of your local library or bookstore hold hundreds of books on the topic, each with its own recipe for success. A fitting analogy is the weight loss industry. Countless books and programs are available, and yet, the simple truth of the matter is if you want to lose weight, simply eat less and exercise more, plain and simple. How does this translate to investing? Identify a company with sustainable and rising earnings that pays a growing dividend over time and you are on your way to financial success. What has been a tremendous source of frustration for me over the past three decades is watching so many people "playing the stock market". Sadly, it remains a national pastime. Despite experiencing major stock market bubbles followed by severe market corrections, investors continue to believe that a casino-style investing approach is the answer to their problems. In fact, the events of the last several years are a great endorsement for a set of principles which all investors must follow should they seek to achieve long term, financial success. My goal is to demonstrate that we need to go back to the basics and invest the same way we did before the Internet made stock speculation so simple. Compared to when I first entered the industry, the stock market has started to look more and more bazaar, with a casino-style mindset beginning to grip many investors and speculators. The burgeoning 24/7 business news covering every meaningless minutiae of the world of business and finance has not benefited investors by generating higher investment returns. Conversely, all this noise has led to inferior returns as super-charged emotions cause many to make hasty investing decisions with little regard to the sound fundamentals of investing. Frustrated investors have realized that the traditional rules of investing apply as much today as they have in the past. The key to creating and preserving wealth is to invest in fundamentally sound companies with a long, steady track record of increasing their earnings and dividends paid to shareholders over time. The Principles of Wealth Creation will illustrate the six fundamental principles all investors should abide by should their ultimate goal be to reap significant investment returns overtime.
