The Motley Fool Investment Guide - Couverture souple

There's never been a better time for the individual investor to take control of his or her investments. Anybody with a computer and a modem can monitor stocks, access real-time quotes, get the latest company financials, and much, much more-in short, you can get all the same data as Wall Street's Wise Men. And you can do more with it than they ever dreamed. The Motley Fool is the most popular online financial forum on the planet. It's the place where hundreds of thousands of individual investors go to get what they need to maximize their investment dollars. And for good reason. Since the Gardner brothers took their act online in 1994, they and their fellow Fools have been helping these investors crush the market averages. In their national bestseller, The Motley Fool Investment Guide (and in You Have More Than You Think, their latest assault on the Wise and latest advice for the eager investor), the Gardners have introduced their readers to the investment strategies and financial tactics that enabled them to beat the very best that Wall Street could manage. Now, The Motley Foot Investment Workbook will take you step-by-step through the process of putting to use the lessons learned in these two books. Here, you will pick up a pencil and :

- Build yourself a budget - Figure out how much you have to invest - Work out which investment strategy is best for you - Discover the best sources of stock market information and what to do with them once you find them - Find out where and how to buy stocks the cheapest and fastest way possible - Learn when to hold on to your investment and when-if ever-to let it go

And that's not all-The Motley Fool Investment Workbook will show you exactly how to take control of your own monetary destiny in the simplest possible way.

Drawing on lessons learned in the past few turbulent years, the revised Motley Fool Investment Workbook shows how The Motley Fool's popular investment strategies continue to help regular people beat Wall Street's best money managers -- in good times and in bad. Updated to reflect today's whipsaw economy, you will learn how to evaluate a company's financial performance, which mutual funds make sense, and where to find havens for your retirement savings.
