There are the famous investors whose names you know - Buffett, Bogle, Soros, Lynch, and Templeton. And then there are the Warren Buffetts next door, those successful investors you've never heard of - Rees, Krebs, Koza, Petainem, and Weyland. The [book] describes how these "regular" people - tractor-trailer drivers, radio DJs, and college dropouts - utilize an armament of online information, tools, and resources to routinely outperform professional brokers and Wall Street's Ivy League -educated investors." - from the rear outer jacket. "From February 2001 through March 2010, an investment in a well-run index fund like Vanguard Total Stock Market would have earned you an annual return of less than 2%. The same investment in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway would have netted 6.25% on average per year. Had you invested in Mike Koza's portfolio, your total return would have averaged 34% per year. Who's Mike Koza? He's a civil engineer for the Sacramento County Department of Waste Management. He's also one of a growing number of armchair investors taking control of their investment portfolios and routinely beating the Street's biggest names. In [the book], Forbes' Matthew Schifrin provides case studies of ten successful investors - everyday people - who are investing in themselves, and in the process, experiencing extraordinary returns. Schifrin details their personal stories, along with their investment strategies, trading philosophies, and rules for investing. You'll learn about: Christoper Rees, who spent close to thirty years of his life roaming from one town to the next working at any job that would pay him enough to continue his travels. SInce October 2000, his investments have seen an average annual return of 25% versus 0.21% for the S&P 500. Jack Weyland, a former truck driver whose average annual return since July 2002 is 36% vs. 7% for the S&P 500. Alan T. Hill, a retired educational software executive whose cumulative return since July 2005 is 1,026% vs. 28% for the S&P 500. There are more than fifty million online investors. Many of these "amateurs" are achieving professional results without the professional commissions. Their names may never be on the level of a Buffett or a Bogle, but people like Koza, Rees, Weyland, and Hill aren't out to make a name for themselves. They're out to make enough money to enjoy a lifestyle of their choosing. And that's exactly what they're doing. And with The Warren Buffetts Next Door, it's what you can do, as well. The only real prerequisite to becoming a good investor is committing the time to educate yourself. [The book] offers timeless advice and inspiration for any investor hoping to profit by investing in themselves." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
