Crown Publishing Author Phil Town Mentors Novice Investors on His Blog, "Rule #1 Investing"
Investment blogger and Crown Publishing author Phil Town is using his blog, Rule #1: Phil Town on Investing, to mentor novice investors. Town guides beginners via email and posts, leading them step-by-step through a single stock analysis. Investor "homework" is then critiqued and published on his site.
Jackson Hole, WY (PRWEB) June 29, 2005 -- Investment blogger and Crown
Publishing author Phil Town is now mentoring beginning investors on his highly
popular blog.
The “Rule #1 Blog: Phil Town on Investing”, launched on
February 28, 2005, is dedicated to liberating small investors by teaching them
“how to get rich no matter what happens in the market.”
Town is backing
up this statement by coaching first-time, individual investors through the
process of a single “YUMMMMY” stock analysis. “YUMMMMY” is an acronym for the
process by which Town’s students evaluate both the value of a company’s stock
and the level of their own understanding of what that company
does.
Students use resources on the Rule #1 Blog to help determine a
company’s competitive advantage, evaluate its management, and make realistic
predictions about its future. After completing their “Homework” they submit it
to Town via email. Select stock analyses, along with Town’s critique, are then
published on the blog for other beginning investors to study. Companies are
given the green light – an “A” rating – only if they score high in every
category.
Says Town, “Rule #1 investors don’t buy stock. We buy
businesses. That means we evaluate the company as if we owned the whole thing.
We want to buy as if this company is the only source of money for us and our
families for the next 100 years.”
The bottom line, says Town: “Rule #1 is
‘Don’t lose money!’ Sure, Rule #1 investors want to make money in the long run.
But they also want to never be at risk – to make money in the short run, too.
That’s the safest way to guarantee a big return.”
