About this audiobook

Phil Town is now a very wealthy man, but he wasn't always. In fact, he was living on a salary of $4000 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." Other rules are: don't diversify...think like an owner, not an investor ... never, ever be seduced into thinking the market is efficient. Town also believes strongly in "betting on the jockey," putting your faith in managers who've proven their financial mettle. Not only does Town reveal fresh methods for identifying who the truly reliable managers are, but he shows you how to test whether they really have faith in the businesses they're running.

By far, the most controversial of the audiobook's assertions will be that giant 401(k) type mutual funds can't help but regress to the mean, and in the next twenty years, the mean could be very disappointing indeed. There's a very real chance that a 401(k) investor could see his holdings not grow at all in the next few decades. Fortunately, Town's stockpicking techniques are meant to walk investing phobes through the do-it-yourself process, equipping them with the tools they need to make quantum leaps toward financial security.

Rule #1 says something new, and it says it in a way that every listener can understand.

    Excellent book. This is the investment philosophy/method of Warren Buffet. I also attended his 3-day weekend workshop which is an extension of this book. Very solid, and lots of excellent information. I highly recommend it!

    Excellent book on investing. I have read more than 40 books and I would say that this is one of the very few books which takes you from beginning to the end in 1 book. It is very easy to follow and all the points outlined make sense and will help you make more money and avoid most losses.

    This book opened my eyes to the true sense of investing as compared to speculation. I absorbed all the message as Phil talks in a level that's easily understood by a beginner like me.
