While buying stocks on a hunch and a prayer may not endanger your life, it can certainly put your finances at risk. But, anyone can buy a stock without any training whatsoever. Even those providing professional investment advice require certification. Doctors must graduate medical school, followed by a multi-year residency. Pilots require extensive training before receiving a license. This training will help set you apart from others who are largely flying blind. Our practical approach is designed to help demystify the investing process, which can be intimidating. Our goal is straightforward-to impart the skills necessary for finding high-quality stocks while protecting your portfolio with risk management best practices. Using real-world examples and actual Wall Street models used by the pros, we teach you how to pick stocks in a highly accessible, step-by-step manner. We believe the simplicity and accessibility of our stock picking framework is truly unique. The Little Book of Investing Like the Pros was written to fill this void. And, until now, there hasn't been a truly accessible, easy-to-understand resource available to help them. Despite this, the vast majority of individual investors have no training on how to pick stocks. So, why should you read our book? Stock investing is more prevalent than ever, whether directly or indirectly through brokerage accounts, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, or retirement plans. Many of them were written by some of the world's greatest investors. As you have probably noticed, there are quite a few investing books out there.
