Brief description of Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!

Before I became “Phil Town, teacher of investing principles to more than 500,000 people a year,” I was a lot like you: someone who viewed individual stock investing as way too hard to do successfully. As a guy who barely made a living as a river guide, I considered the whole process pretty impenetrable, and I was convinced that to do it right you had to make it a full-time job. Me, I was more interested in having full-time fun.So I was tempted to do what you’re probably doing right now: letting some mutual fund manager worry about growing your nest egg. Let me tell you why that decision could one day make you absolutely miserable. The fact is, because of natural market cycles, the mutual fund industry is likely to soon be facing twenty years of flat returns. That means that if you’ve got your nest egg tucked away in funds—especially the type found in most 401ks—your egg won’t get much bigger than it is now. Translation: Get ready for a retirement filled with lots of cold cuts, plenty of quality TV-watching time, and a place to live that’s too small to accommodate your visiting kids.In this book I’ll show you how I turned $1,000 into $1 million in only five years, and then proceeded to make many millions more. I came to investing as a person who wasn’t great at math, possessed zero extra cash, and wanted a life—not an extra three hours of work to do every day.Fortunately, I was introduced to The Rule.Rule #1, as famed investor Warren Buffett will tell you, is don’t lose money. Through an intriguing process that I’ll clarify in this book, not losing money results in making more money than you ever imagined. What it comes down to is buying shares of companies only when the numbers—and the intangibles—are on your side. If that sounds too good to be true, it’s because the mind-set I’ll be introducing you to leads not to bets but to certainties. Believe me, if there were anything genius-level about this, I’d still be a river guide collecting unemployment much of the year.Part of the secret is thinking of yourself as a business owner rather than a stock investor. Part is taking advantage of today’s new Internet tools, which drastically reduce the “homework factor.” (We’re talking a few minutes, tops.) Part is knowing the only five numbers that really count in valuing a potential investment. And part—maybe the most important part—is using the risk-free Rule #1 approach to consistently pay a mere 50 cents to buy a dollar’s worth of a business.What I won’t waste your time with is fluff: a lot of vague parables reminding you of what you already know and leaving you exactly where you started. This is the real deal, folks: a start-to-finish, one-baby-step-at-a-time approach that will allow you to retire ten years sooner than you planned, with more creature comforts than you ever imagined.Also available as a Random House AudioBook and eBook.

Comments by amazon customers about Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!

Good not Great
A very nice, simple and detailed book about getting rich in the stock market using a mixture of graphist and fundamentalist analysis. The only problem of this is that it makes you believe that you just read it and tomorrow you are a billionaire already. Read it carefully and calmly. Keep your mind in reality.


Rule #1 is the Only Rule for Investing
Rule #1 delivers down to earth information for the novice investor. By the time you complete reading this book, you will be armed with the skills necessary to begin investing your money with a margin of safety that will limit your losses and improve your success. Read, then invest. Phil Town delivers easy to understand investing information.

Rule #1
A great read, really opens your eyes to mutual funds and the advantages to investing without your fund manager.

Excellent book for self-directed investing
I first purchased this book after hearing Phil Town speak. This book is an excellent tool for the investor new to making the investing decisions without the direction of an advisor. After reading this book, you will want to pull your funds from the advisor accounts and manage them yourself. This book makes a complicated subject make sense. I have referred back to it several times, even after reading more complex books on investing. I have purchased three more copies as gifts, and I continue to recommend Phil Town's books. Excellent resource!

Rule# 1 my oppinion
I have read over 150 book in the last 14 years, all kind and all subjects, and this book Rule#1 by Phil Town is the best of the best, Is the very first book that bring something I have being missing in my life, "Controlling My Own Future" that tells me how to make money step-by-step, he doesn't use complicated and impossible to follow suggestions, instead he write in a very simple and easy to understand manner than even a English as a second language like me can understand, I'm 53, I have being around, and believe me this book will change your mind regarding your own finance and your own future, then after reading this wonderful book you'll make a bee line and buy his second book "Payback Time". My wife and I are so grateful found Phil's books.
