Pick winning stocks with confidence through proven strategies from a renowned career investor
In The Sacred Truths of Investing, renowned stock picker and well-known media personality Louis Navellier delivers a blueprint to confidently and reliably pick winning stocks rather than relying solely on ESG, ETFs, and other index mutations for investment success. Backed by his proven experience, Mr. Navellier imparts both underlying theory and practical guidelines to enable readers to holistically understand the forces that shape the market and determine its direction.
Written in an accessible style with Mr. Navellier's signature understated wit, this book explores topics including:
* Why geopolitical risks are net bullish for US assets and how huge boomer assets fuel market growth
* Timeless advice in James Madison's rule book and the relationship between Gresham's Law and a debt ceiling
* Simple formulas for increasing odds of success and why Wall Street often seems darkest before the dawn
* Why emotions have no place in picking stocks or predicting market turns and how to rely on priceless accurate data rather than cheap opinions
For both beginners and experienced investors, The Sacred Truths of Investing is an essential resource to fuel greater investment success through calculated strategies that dispel the notion that "the market can't be beat."
