<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER • “The clearest and best book out there to get you on the path to riches. This one’s special!”—Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s <i>Mad Money</i></b><br><b> </b><br><b>“Great tools for anyone wanting to dabble in the stock market.”—<i>USA Today</i></b><br> <br>Phil Town is a very wealthy man, but he wasn’t always. In fact, he was living on a salary of $4,000 a year when some well-timed advice launched him down a highway of investing self-education that revealed what the true “rules” are and how to make them work in one’s favor. Chief among them, of course, is Rule #1: “Don’t lose money.” <br> <br>In this updated edition to the #1 national bestseller, you’ll learn more of Phil’s fresh, think-outside-the-box rules, including:<br>• Don’t diversify <br>• Only buy a stock when it’s on sale <br>• <i>Think</i> long term—but act short term to maximize your return <br>• And most of all, beat the big investors at their own game <i>by using the tools designed for them</i>! <br> <br>As Phil demonstrates in these pages, giant mutual funds can’t help but regress to the mean—and as we’ve all learned in recent years, that mean could be very disappointing indeed. Fortunately, <i>Rule #1</i> takes readers step-by-step through a do-it-yourself process, equipping even the biggest investing-phobes with the tools they need to make quantum leaps toward financial security—regardless of where the market is headed.
