Starting with the article about money managers below, I will now be contributing a handful of more in-depth articles to U.S. News & World Report. Obviously, U.S. News is a well-respected and well-read major media outlet, and being added as a contributor is one of the biggest achievements of my career. 

If you haven’t read it already, take a look at my first article linked above. No matter how involved you are in your own personal investment portfolio, you need to see the statistics referenced in the article. If you want something done right, including your investing, do it yourself. With almost zero effort, you can achieve long-term gains in-line with the S&P 500. Don’t pay someone else to lose your money.

You don’t have to know anything about the stock market to beat professional money managers. I didn’t know anything about stocks when I started investing at age 24. Not only have I outperformed these professional money managers, I have consistently out-performed the S&P 500.

If you’re wondering how I did it, I wrote a book about it. It would be great if you bought my book, but, more importantly, I want everyone to know that you don’t have to feel helpless when it comes to investing. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I simply hate the idea that so many people are paying active fund managers that are total clowns with no idea what they are doing. That’s not my opinion; my U.S. News article contains all the stats you need to know.

Of course, if you’d like to read more about my personal story, read my book, Beating Wall Street With Common Sense and stay tuned to tradingcommonsense.com.
