The Investment Books and Investment Articles presented here should help investors sort things out before they throw their money at the Wall Street product de jour. You need to understand the language of investing and appreciate the many different schools of thought and specializations that exist within the "investments" genre. Knowing the difference between value stocks and growth stocks, understanding asset allocation, formulating the proper performance expectations about a fixed income portfolio, and recognizing the emotional aspects of investing are all essential to your success. Don't be lazy, do your concept research before you bother with security selection research. The more you realize how very little you will ever really "know" about the markets, the better you will become at planning, structuring, diversifying and understanding the uniqueness of your portfolio.

 One book, The Brainwashing of the American Investor: The Book That Wall Street Does Not Want YOU to Read! is included in all sections because it addresses all of these inter-related issues, and more... and also because I wrote it. Once you've read the Brainwashing book, you'll be tempted to apply some of the concepts to your own investment efforts, but the methodology doesn't translate well into other systems. It stands alone because of the Working Capital Model and the strict QDI rules that it embodies. If you want to adopt the program, it would be wise to attend a seminar designed to help you succeed in the transition. Contact Kiawah Golf Investment Seminars for more information.
