    20 Rules for Successful Investing
    1. Saving is a prerequisite to investing. Unless you have wealthy, benevolent relatives, living within your means and saving money are prerequisites to investing and building wealth.
    2. Know the three best wealth-building investments. People of all economic means make their money grow in ownership assets stocks, real estate, and small business where they share in the success and profitability of the asset.
    3. Be realistic about expected returns. Over the long term, 9 to 10 percent per year is about right for ownership investments (such as stocks and real estate). If you run a small business, you can earn higher returns and even become a multimillionaire, but years of hard work and insight are required.
    4. Think long term. Because ownership investments are riskier (more volatile), you must keep a long-term perspective when investing in them. Dont invest money in such investments unless you plan to hold them for a minimum of five years, preferably a decade or longer.
    5. Match the time frame to the investment. Selecting good investments for yourself involves matching the time frame you have to the riskiness of the investment. For example, for money that you expect to use within the next year, focus on safe investments, such as money market funds. Invest your longer-term money mostly in wealth-building investments.
    6. Diversify. Diversification is a powerful investment concept that helps you to reduce the risk of holding more aggressive investments. Diversifying simply means that you should hold a variety of investments that dont move in tandem in different market environments. For example, if you invest in stocks, invest worldwide, not just in the US market. You can further diversify by investing in real estate.
    7. Look at the big picture first. Understand your overall financial situation and how wise investments fit within it. Before you invest, examine your debt obligations, tax situation, ability to fund retirement accounts, and insurance coverage.
    8. Ignore the minutiae. Dont feel mystified by or feel the need to follow the short-term gyrations of the financial markets. Ultimately, the prices of stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments are determined by supply and demand, which are influenced by thousands of external issues and millions of investors expectations and fears.
    9. Allocate your assets. How you divvy up or allocate your money among major investments greatly determines your returns. The younger you are and the more money you earmark for the long term, the greater the percentage you should devote to ownership investments.
    10. Do your homework before you invest. You work hard for your money, and buying and selling investments costs you money. Investing isnt a field where acting first and asking questions later works well. Never buy an investment based on an advertisement or a salespersons solicitation of you.
    11. Keep an eye on taxes. Take advantage of tax-deductible retirement accounts and understand the impact of your tax bracket when investing outside tax-sheltered retirement accounts.
    12. Consider the value of your time and your investing skills and desires. Investing in stocks and other securities via the best mutual funds and exchange-traded funds is both time-efficient and profitable. Real estate investing and running a small business are the most time-intensive investments.
    13. Where possible, minimize fees. The more you pay in commissions and management fees on your investments, the greater the drag on your returns. And dont fall prey to the thinking that you get what you pay for.
    14. Dont expect to beat the market. If you have the right skills and interest, your ability to do better than the investing averages is greater with real estate and small business than with stock market investing. The large number of experienced full-time stock market professionals makes it next to impossible for you to choose individual stocks that will consistently beat a relevant market average over an extended time period.
    15. Dont bail when things look bleak. The hardest time, psychologically, to hold on to your investments is when theyre down. Even the best investments go through depressed periods, which is the worst possible time to sell. Dont sell when theres a sale going on; if anything, consider buying more.
    16. Ignore soothsayers and prognosticators. Predicting the future is nearly impossible. Select and hold good investments for the long term. Dont try to time when to be in or out of a particular investment.
    17. Minimize your trading. The more you trade, the more likely you are to make mistakes. You also get hit with increased transaction costs and higher taxes (for non-retirement account investments).
    18. Hire advisors carefully. Before you hire investing help, first educate yourself so you can better evaluate the competence of those you may hire. Beware of conflicts of interest when you consider advisors to hire.
    19. You are what you read and listen to. Dont pollute your mind with bad investing strategies and philosophies. The quality of what you read and listen to is far more important than the quantity. Find out how to evaluate the quality of what you read and hear.
    20. Your personal life and health are the highest-return, lowest-risk investments. Theyre far more important than the size of your financial portfolio.

    Jim Beggs, VA

    Eric Tyson is doing something important namely, helping people at all income levels to take control of their financial futures. This book is a natural outgrowth of Tysons vision that he has nurtured for years. Like Henry Ford, he wants to make something that was previously accessible only to the wealthy accessible to middle-income Americans.

    James C. Collins, coauthor of the national bestsellers Built to Last and Good to Great

    The organization of this book is superb! I could go right to the topics of immediate interest and find clearly written and informative material.

    Lorraine Verboort, Beaverton, OR

    Among my favorite financial guides are Eric Tysons Personal Finance For Dummies.

    Jonathan Clements, The Wall Street Journal

    In Investing For Dummies, Tyson handily dispatches both the basics and the more complicated.

    Lisa M. Sodders, The Capital-Journal

    Smart advice for dummies skip the tomes and buy Personal Finance For Dummies, which rewards your candor with advice and comfort.

    Temma Ehrenfeld, Newsweek

    You dont have to be a novice to like Mutual Funds For Dummies. Despite the books chatty, informal style, author Eric Tyson clearly has a mastery of his subject. He knows mutual funds, and he knows how to explain them in simple English.

    Steven T. Goldberg, Kiplingers Personal Finance magazine

    Eric Tyson seems the perfect writer for a For Dummies book. He doesnt tell you what to do or consider doing without explaining the whys and hows and the booby traps to avoid in plain English . It will lead you through the thickets of your own finances as painlessly as I can imagine.
