Simple Investing Works Best

By Andrew M. Gordon

The longer I invest, the more I realize that simple investing works best. The fewer rules you have, the better.

Simple investing should be a natural outgrowth of having more knowledge and a better understanding of how investing works. Your ability to pick out what’s truly important and what works for you is key.

The worst thing you can do is try to have a well-rounded knowledge of the market. I know that sounds odd - but by trying to be well-rounded, you won’t develop mastery in any part of the market. At best, you’ll know a little about how the market operates in any particular segment.

How to simplify?

1. Adopt a favorite industry - preferably one that you already know a lot about. At most, follow two industries.

2. Determine the three most important things you want to see in a company before you invest in it. It could have to do with growth, margins, cash flow, value (maybe price-to-earnings), spending, or dozens of other things. For Warren Buffett, for example, it’s a history of earnings growth, low costs, and an unglamorous business line. What is it for you?

3. Use a straightforward formula for when you get into and out of an investment - and stick to it. (Maybe buying only when the stock has bottomed and is going up, and selling when the stock has fallen 20 percent from its peak.)

Three rules. That’s all you need.

Dear Forex Trader,

The first question that any aspiring forex trader asks when he or she gets to the website like this one is: Why is this person revealing his system to general public when he can make all the money he wants in the forex market. Why share the information with other people?

Well, here is the truth. The vast majority of the trading systems out there are useless rehearsed garbage. They are written by people who can not make a single penny in the real trading world.

That is why every couple of years I take some time off my main trading business and share the information with people like you. People who are hungry to learn and succeed. Back in 2001. I came out with “Online Trading for Financial Freedom™” that was an instant classic. In 2003. I was the first person on the Net to write a complete forex trading system, put it into pdf format and provide it to general public. It was called “Forex Trading Course™”. In 2005. I published “Forex Trading Strategy™”, a trading system that gave all of the forex industry a severe case of headache.

And now I am coming out with all of the tricks and techniques that I have acquired over the years in a single system that I have named “Street Smart Forex™”. It is a lethal combination of trading techniques that are easy to implement and at the same time brutally effective. It is explained in a manner as if you were sitting at my trading desk and watching me trade.
