About This Blog
This blog is dedicated to spreading the idea that investment success is based upon stubbornly following a few (very simple) principles:
- Diversifying your portfolio,
- Minimizing costs (such as brokerage commissions, mutual fund expenses, and taxes), and
- Ignoring all the noise from the financial media about what the stock market does from day to day.
About the Author
I’m a fairly young fellow (26), married, living in Chicago. Prior to becoming a full-time personal finance writer, I worked as a financial advisor (for Edward Jones) and as a tax accountant for a large real estate company here in Chicago.
I now make a living writing a series of books that’s somewhat akin to Cliffs Notes for personal finance topics.
