Straightforward strategies from a successful young investor
In How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street, you'll follow
the story of Kevin Roth, an eight-year-old who was schooled in
simple approaches to sound investing by his father, seasoned
financial planner Allan Roth, and discover exactly how simple it
can be to become a successful investor. Page by page, you'll learn
how to create a portfolio with the widest diversification and
lowest costs; one that can move up your financial freedom by a
decade and dramatically increase your spending rate during
retirement. And all this can be accomplished by using some common
sense techniques.
Along the way, Kevin and his dad discuss fresh, new approaches
to investing, and detail some tried-and-true, but lesser known
approaches. They also take the time to debunk the financial myths
and legends that many of us accept as true, and show you what it
really takes to build long-term wealth with less risk.
