However, few investment professionals can do so with consistency. Most mutual funds, pension funds, bank trust accounts and investment advisors fail to match the returns indicated by popular market indexes. Although some professionals may do well in a given year, few manage to "beat the market" over long periods. The fact is that the majority of professional recommendations are mediocre. Many studies have shown that selecting stocks by taping the financial pages to a door and throwing darts will produce results that are equal or superior to following the recommendations of experienced brokers and analysts. Our book How to Invest Wisely provides advice about the enduring fundamentals of personal finance and helps you avoid common investing errors. For example, we describe why the investor's dilemma -- chronic inflating and taxes -- has turned bonds, the traditional haven of conservative investors, into virtually guaranteed losers. Moreover, we explain in easy-to-understand language how to make investment decisions using consistent criteria rather than trying to stay ahead of the latest investment fad. How to Invest Wisely shows you how to build a low-cost, low-risk portfolio that positions you to make market fluctuations work to your advantage. Based on our exhaustive research of over 50 years of prices, dividends, stock splits, and spin-offs of the highest-yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, we show how to invest in stocks without blindly following the crowd and buying into market rallies and selling into declines. This approach would have provided a total return of capital gains and dividend income of 4.0 percentage points more than the 11.4 percent an investor would have earned by holding the Dow. No matter how small or large your holdings, we believe that you can benefit from How to Invest Wisely.
