      Foreword

      If you’re like many, the past few years have challenged a lot of what you thought you knew about investing. Maybe you have an online trading account, or perhaps a broker, and you’ve got money ready to invest. But, you got burned trading the market through the recession and now you’re seeing others make money in the markets, despite bad news in the economy.

      You’ve bought too soon; sold too early or fallen into countless traps, as you’ve tried to make sense of the markets. The one thing you’ve learned over the past three years is it takes more than an e-Trade account and an idea to succeed in the stock market.

      You need a game plan. But, with thousands of investment ideas and a never-ending flood of information, it’s difficult to know where to start.

      This book teaches you how to separate the relevant from the irrelevant. It shows you how to take your stock picking to the next level. It teaches you how to retrain your brain for success. It shows you which pieces of information are important. And, it instructs you how to handle the most risky market challenges.

      Using proven strategies incorporated by some of the largest, market moving money managers, this book redefines the way you think about money and investing.

      I look forward to shrinking your learning curve.

      Introduction

      Do you remember that shoebox of baseball cards tucked away in the closet chock full of forgotten heroes you were convinced would reach the Hall of Fame? Well, investing is like that shoebox.

      Every year, some young player with a rifle arm reaches the big leagues destined for greatness only to disappear the next year. As a boy, I collected a ton of rookie cards thinking someday they'd make me rich.

      It took a while, but I realized betting on unproven rookies was a fool's game. Sure, you might get lucky. But, even if you did stock up on Barry Bonds rookie cards the year they came out, you're left with little to show for it now.

      Instead, buying cards of players already in the Hall of Fame proved best. The players couldn't fizzle out. Or, get arrested. Or, be found using performance enhancing drugs. They were all star players with records in the books. And, their baseball cards were rare thanks to a generation of collectors who liked the sound they made in the spokes of their bicycle wheels.

      So, as you read the stock market tips in this book, keep this lesson in mind. After all, you don't want a closet full of Joe Charboneau's instead of Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson's.

      Tip One: Reboot!

      Have you ever noticed when you're computer has been used for a long time without being shut down, it starts to get really slow? All those open windows, all the mouse clicks and all those hilarious cat videos take a toll on your computer's memory. Eventually, the computer locks up in the middle of an important business proposal, forcing you into sheer panic over whether auto save is enabled.
