Index Mutual Funds worked in the high growth era of the 1990’s, but have been bad news since. Therefore, the theory that an investor wastes his time by choosing a manager-run mutual fund is no longer valid, and probably never was. The 2000’s have allowed truly great stock pickers to emerge and be in the spotlight. They are easier to find now and the phonies of the 1990’s are fleeing the scene.

If you are interested in a well written, easy to understand and a book filled with the fruitful ideas for today’s market, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! It was written by a fund investment advisor for fund investors. Dry antique investing methods that are totally outdated. If you are planning on taking control of your finances and successfully investing in today’s markets, try something different.

Charles was not the first to blow the whistle on active investing but was the first to write a book for the average investor. His advise and counsel are outstanding. In fact he has been called by the current administration to establish criteria for self funded social security investing. The book is a basic tutorial every investor should have on his bookshelf.
Piscaqua Research in a study covering the period 1987-96 found that only 10 out of 145 major pension funds, or just seven percent, out performed a portfolio consisting of a simple 60%/40% mix of the S&P 500 index and the Lehman Bond index respectively.
Or is it logical I ask for you to believe that you can predict which actively managed funds will out perform, or are you overconfident of your skills? If you are trying to find the great fund managers who will out perform in the future ask yourself: what am I going to do differently in terms of identifying the future winning fund managers, than did the pension plans and their advisors? And if you are not going to something different what logic is there in playing a game at which others with superior resources have consistently failed?
If you a really serious in finding an investment technique that will provide you with reasonable return with less risk I suggest the following little book. This is a little book that I have written and contains the essential of how to invest. Just click on the title to find the book.
The book is titled How to Make Money in the Stock Market-Buy 2,500 different stocks for $1000 – Pay no Commission. Easy to read packed with precise directions for success. A cookbook for the investor just follow directions. I enjoyed this book a great deal. It shows how indexing and diversification strategies work and why they are so important to investing success. Unlike many other books, this one is not only informative, but also useful. There should be no question as how to implement the author’s strategy and measure your progress. He skillfully addresses asset allocation, and shows how to minimize tax consequences by assigning securities to tax deferred accounts. The author does not dwell on lengthy longwinded discussions but cuts to the quick with useful recommendation and directions for the novice and experienced investor as well. I recommend this book for all investors.Just click on the underlined title to go to the reviews of the book.The author answers all yiur questions by Email within 24 hours.How to Make Money in the Stock Market-Buy 2,500 Different Stocks-Pay no Commission

In 175 pages all Mr Ellis really said was “buy index funds”. John Mauldin’s “Bulls Eye Investing” is 100% better, and after reading it you will understand why this book is for losers.

Since my life has had more ups and downs than this stock market, which is saying something, I decided to check out this book, and see if I could at least not be a loser in one area of my life. Unfortunately, I’m as unlucky in the stock market as I am in love, work, and the rest of my life. So the title of this book is basically the story of my whole life, except it’s more like “Losing the Winner’s Game.” Hopefully, this useful book will help me turn at least that aspect of my life around. So far I’ve found this to be a decent book on the stock market.
