Simple Steps to Help Anyone Beat the Market

In the first part of this series, I wrote a 10 Step Guide to Building a Complete Portfolio. It shows you how to put together the basic financial picture individuals should have to help them become successful and wealthy; from emergency cash reserves and buying a home to 401k, brokerage, and education accounts. Then, I wrote a related Eight Secrets to Improving Your Portfolio Returns. In this related step-by-step, I go into the specific behaviors that tend to produce above-average results once you have established your foundation. Many of these steps will lead you to more in-depth articles that I’ve written over the years if you find you need or want more information about a particular topic.

Make yourself comfortable, kick up your feet, and stay awhile. From my office to your home, here are ten things that can help you experience fatter profits on your long-term investments.
