INTELLIGENT INVESTING: KNOW WHAT "THEY" DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW. The majority of investors do not understand how their investments may be stealing their financial security from themselves and their loved ones. When it comes to their investments, all too often the investor is unaware of the latent and excessive risk, lack of liquidity, undisclosed commissions and fees lurking within their investments. This all combines to weaken their investment portfolio -- instead of strengthening it. All too often your investments are better for the person who sold them to you than they are for you. This book has been written with the intent of opening the eyes of every investor while simultaneously saving their financial security. Wall Street and the world of investing is like the Wizard of Oz, pull the curtain back and you can see what is really happening. Wall Street and many financial institutions both large and small have one interest and one interest only and it is not to always help the individual investor. Investing does not have to be that way. Investing can and should be a transparent, enjoyable and productive endeavor. No secrets, no hidden agendas, no complicated double talk. Plain and simple: do the right thing. This book will help you protect your family, protect your savings and protect your investments. I will explain how investing usually takes place and most importantly, how it should take place.
