About this ebook
Save money. Retire early. The lazy way.
So you've heard of lazy investing? But you're not quite sure what it's all about? You want to invest your money wisely, while avoiding crazy high fees and shady brokers? You know you need to save for retirement, but you don't know how? If this sounds like you, then The Lazy Investors’ Guide is exactly what you need!
Investing doesn't have to be as difficult as it’s usually made out to be. There's got to be an easier way to do it right, with minimal effort, and end up ahead in the race. Investing has got to be less about paying fees to others (Brokers and Advisors), and more about paying YOURSELF. There is. It's called Lazy Investing. So dive in and discover:
- We'll reveal some popular Myths about the stock market, and expose them as being just that - "myths" that prevent YOU from making money in stocks
- We'll introduce you to what Lazy Investing is all about and why it makes so much sense
- You'll get to see, up close, some great examples of Lazy Investing building blocks and what they can do of your portfolio
- We'll walk you through the decision making process of whether Lazy Investing is really right for you
- And last, but certainly not least, you'll get an inside look at the Ultimate Lazy Investors Portfolio - several versions of them actually!
Not only that, but we've put together a "Lazy Investors Toolbox" for you at the end of the book. You'll find some excellent checklists and questionnaires that you can use to define, refine and improve your personal Lazy investment style and Lazy Portfolio.
Save money. Retire early. The lazy way.

PROLOGUE
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to accomplish
- Marcus Aurelius
WHAT'S ALL THE BUZZ ABOUT?
Be honest now: How many of you really don't look forward to going to those class reunions, office Christmas parties or ladies night out events anymore? There's always some guy or gal out there, who is constantly bragging about how well their investments have done, and what a killing they made - despite the recent financial crisis.
But each time you look at your financial statements, all you see are flat lines or a sea of red. And every time you talk to your broker, all you hear is:
Don't worry...I've got a great trade lined up for you. It'll blow your mind away!
Yea right! The only things blown away are your returns! You'd like to be like Mr./Ms. Loudmouth and learn all about Buying Low and Selling High
, Market timing
, Reading the Charts
. But you're too lazy (or smart!) to do all that nimble stuff:
Too much market watching
Lots of research
Constantly waiting for hot tips
to pan out
It's too stressful, and it takes lots of work involved. It just seems so impossible to do - right? Well...not really.
Today, we'll introduce you to a novel investment idea - called Lazy Investing
- that'll give you an edge and revolutionize the way you invest. Seriously, guys and gals, if you really want to take control of your investments, then Lazy Investing can make that happen. How? By helping you relinquish some of that "control'!
Say what?
You see, unlike the more traditional
investment styles, where investors are constantly buying, selling and trading stocks, the Lazy Investing approach takes a more laid back view to making money. Don't get the wrong idea:
Lazy Investing is not about short cuts or cutting corners!
In fact, Lazy Investing is deeply rooted in the science of investing and investor psychology. But unlike other investment philosophies, where you are constantly watching stock tickers and trading screens, Lazy Investing is a more carefree
way for YOU (and not your Broker or Financial Advisor) to make money.
WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOU?
Actually, we've got a lot lined up for you between the
