The coffeehouse investor: how to build wealth, ignore wall street, and get on with your life, paperback/bill schultheis

In 1998, after thirteen years of providing investment advice for Smith Barney, Bill Schultheis wrote a simple book for people who felt overwhelmed by the stock market.

He had discovered that when you simplify your investment decisions, you end up getting better returns.

As a bonus, you gain more time for family, friends, and other pursuits.

The Coffeehouse Investor explains why we should stop thinking about top-rated stocks and mutual funds, shifts in interest rates, and predictions for the economy.

Stop trying to beat the stock market average, which few -experts- ever do.

Instead, just remember three simple principles: Dont put all your eggs in one basket.

Theres no such thing as a free lunch.

And save for a rainy day.

By focusing more on your passions and creativity and less on the daily ups and downs, you will actually build more wealth--and improve the quality of your life at the same time.
