Coach Yourself to Success

A friendly, motivational approach to the essential principles of investing Millions of investors have turned their backs on traditional broker/client relationships to personally handle their own investment choices. Yet they still remain nervous and unfamiliar with how to choose the right investment strategies and make the correct investment decisions. Without a firm grasp on different asset classes and how to use them to meet individual financial goals, the price they pay may be steep. Many will be forced to stand by as their portfolios underperform leading indicators; others could end up losing a huge percentage of their hard-earned nest eggs. Coach Yourself to Financial Success provides these investors with user-friendly, straightforward explanations on the essential principles of investing. Written by Joe Moglia, who is both one of today’s most successful financial executives and a veteran in the college football wars, this no-nonsense guidebook covers everything from individual stocks, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds to bonds, cash instruments, and more. It takes the mystery out of determining goals, assessing risk tolerance, allocating assets, formulating and executing investment plans, and monitoring investment performance. In an arena in which free advice can actually become the most costly, it provides individual investors with not only a better idea of what to do–but a far better understanding of why they are doing it.
