      The Family Man's Stock Market Volatility Survival Guide Checklist

      This book is dedicated to the most precious human beings I have ever known:

      Aubrey, Kenyon, Olivia, Harmony, and Charles.

      A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. ---Proverbs 31:10-11

      My wife Lynn brings this quote to life. In her this project has found new meaning. Thank God.

      This book is intended for informational purposes only. Do not buy or sell any investment based on the contents of this book. Consult your financial advisor before making any investment.

      Preface

      All right, men! Here's one for you---a small book dedicated to the Family Man investor.

      The stock market is down from all-time highs, the economy is weak, and nobody seems to know what to do. Newspapers and major financial websites are confusing the issue, and the advice on TV is just ridiculous. I'm here to tell you there is a way past the confusion and the madness, and that the way is calm, determined, and sensible.

      I know, you hate that. You're used to go-go days, boom-boom markets, and stocks that just go up and up. Well, brother, it's time to come to your senses. You've got a life to live and a family to protect. And my job is to remind you how to do it. Why just a reminder? Because you already know what to do. You know intuitively, as does every other red-blooded American Family Man.

      ThinkstockPhotos-453313901.jpg

      Why is that? Because if you were born in the United States of America, the rules of success are infused into your consciousness---and if you were born elsewhere but live here you have the good fortune of learning by osmosis. If you've ever read the Declaration of Independence, you know what I mean. In that document, you've got all the knowledge you'll ever need to be a successful investor. Just dust off that document and get to know what it meant to its author and the good men who signed it. Get to know what it ought to mean to you. Remember, too, that every one of the men who signed it lost everything they had to defend the truths and principles written in it.

      You might be saying, Whoa, man ... you're getting a little political, aren't you? I make no apology. This book does not pretend to be politically correct. And I'm sure a whole lot of people probably won't like that. Many of you may even be offended by title. That's okay. I promise you won't hurt my feelings. In fact, I wanted to title this book Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones but Words Will Never Hurt Me, but that was already taken.

      So why did I write this book? Well I wrote it for my kids, their kids, and those yet to be born. I also wrote it for my extended family, my friends and acquaintances, because I know they're all a little worried about current economic conditions. I'm worried too. I'm worried that by the time this guide goes to print, the markets will have recovered, the subprime crises will be a distant memory, and stock market volatility will be anything but the mind-numbing bugaboo it was to the American investment psyche on January 22, 2008. I worry about that because, as we've all seen repeatedly, bull markets and prosperity, bear markets and poverty, tend to make people foolish, if not careless, if not just
