Book Description
In How to Conquer Wall Street, Tirrell J. Paxton levels the playing field by equipping individual investors with information and skills that are normally employed by financial planners, stockbrokers, and institutional investors. How to Conquer Wall Street breaks down the doors to this exclusive club of professional investors. This self-study investment program enables ordinary people to grasp and utilize financial information to make wise investment decisions. In light of recent corporate scandals, such as Enron, ordinary investors have become increasingly wary of investing. Tirrell J. Paxton encourages investors to obtain an understanding of the fundamentals of investing and financial planning, so that they can make informed decisions regarding their investments. This way, an investor will not have to blindly rely upon the advice of financial planners and stock analysts. How to Conquer Wall Street includes a lecture on CD, written materials retrievable from the publisher’s website, and referrals to other sources of information. In How to Conquer Wall Street, Mr. Paxton categorizes investments into five groups, which are retirement investments, college savings plans, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Additionally, he identifies the rights, risks, and profits associated with each of these categories. Accordingly, he describes a thought process for selecting and monitoring investments, which does not require prior financial training. Lastly, Mr. Paxton discusses the services provided by financial planners, stockbrokers, and internet brokerage companies.
