How To Become Your Own Broker

Be Your Own Broker

Sound Familiar? I’ve opened an online brokerage account, but I’m having a bit of a problem. How do I know what stocks to buy? There are plenty of terrific sources of investment information on the Internet, but there are so many sources, all claiming to be the one and only source that I need, that I can’t make any decisions. Maybe I should return to my full-service broker. Be Your Own Broker can help you cut through the bewildering maze of online stock information and help you find the sources of information that can provide you with higher investment returns. Written by a seasoned broker with over 30 years of investing experience, the book provides you with a systematic method for discovering emerging growth stocks. More important, the book will provide you with a risk-free learning process that will enable you to improve your investment skills before you risk any of your own money. The author identifies two types of information that enabled him to increase the value of his fantasy portfolio from a start of $250,000 to more than $9 million in less than three years. In addition, he reveals specific sites on the Internet that provide that information and how to gain the most value from those sites.
