Simple Investing

All you need to know to get basic investing right

'Simple' does not mean 'bad'

'Simple Investing' does not mean 'bad investing'. On the contrary, it means a process in which all the simple things are done well. It also means a process that is right and sufficient for 95% of us. For the other 5% there is fun, and maybe even money, to be had in Advanced Investing.

For simple investors who mistakenly imagine they are in the 5%, there is a whole industry out there waiting to make money out of you.
