About this book
Your Money Is Yours for the Keeping!
Dean McGowan is no stranger to how confusing and overwhelming the world of investing can be for most of us. Over his decades-long journey of managing his clients' investments, McGowan has observed where others go right-or very wrong-when attempting to build their wealth. In Keeping Your Money, McGowan breaks down in simple terms the best investment practices and, more importantly, what to avoid when investing your hard-earned savings.
Growing up in East Texas at a time when even children were expected to contribute financially, McGowan has always known the value of a dollar. This formative experience would later equip him with the self-management skills to put himself through college and realize his dream of working in wealth management.
In Keeping Your Money you will learn a multitude of timeless principles, such as:
DON'T sell at the lows or buy at the highs
DO diversify your investments
DON'T buy on a margin
DO invest for the long term
DON'T speculate on the market
DO research every investment opportunity
Illustrating his points with anecdotes from his many decades of managing client investments, along with the amusing and horrifying investment debacles that have beset figures from pop culture and history, McGowan offers an educational and engaging guide to smart investing. The time is now to give your hard-earned wealth the best possible chance to take root and keep on growing through the years ahead.
