The Rational Investor

You've been lied to about investing. They told you investing requires secret knowledge. But here's the truth.Financial services companies want you to feel overwhelmed by investing, so you hire them to handle it for you. Then they turn around and sell you expensive, complicated investments you don't need. Here's a more comforting truth:You don't need to pay an expert to pick stocks for you. You don't even need to be an expert yourself.
All you need to outperform most high-powered investment managers is a baseline level of knowledge and enough humility to step aside and let compound interest work its magic.
