With lively humor and the simple clarity you'd expect from a gifted educator, Hallam demonstrates how average people can build wealth in the stock market by shunning the investment products peddled by most financial advisors and avoiding the get-rich-quicker products concocted by an ever widening, self-serving industry. Hallam guides readers to understand how the stock and bond markets really work, arming you with a psychological advantage for when markets fall. Some of these guidelines include how you can spend just 60 minutes a year on your investments, never open a financial paper, avoid investment news, and still leave most professional investors in the dust, promoting a unique new investment methodology that combines low cost index funds and a Warren Buffett-esque investment philosophy.
