Each post offers straightforward guidelines to boost your investing skills. Learn how to make smarter financial decisions from one of the industry's top experts.

Here are 5 of the 25 Golden Rules he shares in his book.


• Investing is fun, exciting, and dangerous if you don’t do any work.


• Your investor’s edge is not something you get from Wall Street experts. It’s something you already have. You can outperform the experts if you use your edge by investing in companies or industries you already understand.


• Over the past three decades, the stock market has come to be dominated by a herd of professional investors. Contrary to popular belief, this makes it easier for the amateur investor. You can beat the market by ignoring the herd.


• Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it’s doing.


• Often, there is no correlation between the success of a company’s operations and the success of its stock over a few months or even a few years. In the long term, there is a 100 percent correlation between the success of the company and the success of its stock. This disparity is the key to making money; it pays to be patient, and to own successful companies.
