    About this ebook

  • Challenges the mainstream narrative prompted by almost every other investment book on the shelf

  • Uses a listicle style format to guide readers through what can otherwise be a dry subject

  • Title and subtitle will pique interest of everyone who plans to have or currently has money invested

  • Characters introduced in the beginning (comic style) make this otherwise complicated subject more relatable, expanding the prospective audience beyond just “those who read finance books”

  • The first several chapters give words to concerns that so many people have who are invested in the stock market, leaving them nodding their heads and wanting more

  • Helps investors gain much more confidence in their portfolios than the traditional paradigm
