{"product_id":"2940169465945","title":"Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn this book, self-made millionaire Phil Towns will show you how he turned $1,000 into $1 million in only  five years, and   then proceeded to make many millions more.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore I became \"Phil Town, teacher of investing principles to more than 500,000   people a year,\" I was a lot like you: someone who viewed individual stock investing   as way too hard to do successfully. As a guy who barely made a living as a river   guide, I considered the whole process pretty impenetrable, and I was convinced that   to do it right you had to make it a full-time job. Me, I was more interested in having   full-time fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So I was tempted to do what you're probably doing right now: letting   some mutual fund manager worry about growing your nest egg. Let me tell you why that   decision could one day make you absolutely miserable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The fact is, because of natural   market cycles, the mutual fund industry is likely to soon be facing twenty years   of flat returns. That means that if you've got your nest egg tucked away in funds-especially   the type found in most 401ks-your egg won't get much bigger than it is now. Translation:   Get ready for a retirement filled with lots of cold cuts, plenty of quality TV-watching   time, and a place to live that's too small to accommodate your visiting kids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI came to investing as a person who wasn't   great at math, possessed zero extra cash, and wanted a life-not an extra three hours   of work to do every day. Fortunately, I was introduced to The Rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rule #1, as   famed investor Warren Buffett will tell you, is don't lose money. Through an intriguing   process that I'll clarify in this book, not losing money results in making more money   than you ever imagined. What it comes down to is buying shares of companies only   when the numbers-and the intangibles-are on your side. If that sounds too good to   be true, it's because the mind-set I'll be introducing you to leads not to bets but   to certainties. Believe me, if there were anything genius-level about this, I'd still   be a river guide collecting unemployment much of the year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part of the secret is   thinking of yourself as a business owner rather than a stock investor. Part is taking   advantage of today's new Internet tools, which drastically reduce the \"homework factor.\"   (We're talking a few minutes, tops.) Part is knowing the only five numbers that really   count in valuing a potential investment. And part-maybe the most important part-is   using the risk-free \u003ci\u003eRule #1\u003c\/i\u003e approach to consistently pay a mere 50 cents to buy a   dollar's worth of a business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What I won't waste your time with is fluff: a lot   of vague parables reminding you of what you already know and leaving you exactly   where you started. This is the real deal, folks: a start-to-finish, one-baby-step-at-a-time   approach that will allow you to retire ten years sooner than you planned, with more   creature comforts than you ever imagined.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114573283568,"sku":"2940169465945","price":22.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169465945_p0.jpg?v=1763683361","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169465945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
