This book does not offer a strategy, chart patterns, or promise to make you an overnight millionaire. However, it can fundamentally change the way you look at investments and capital markets. This book illustrates why the market is substantially rigged in favor of retail investors and how you can take advantage of this bias. You, as an individual investor, have a significant edge over professional money managers. They are not so rich because they are smart or better investors. They are rich because they are good at marketing and run large sums of money. To beat them in their own game, you need to be aware of your edge and superiority. If successful investing is summarized in one sentence, it should be keeping your head on your shoulders when everybody else has lost it. The board is set, and the pieces are placed for you to win.

Success does not depend on how you act or on the moves you make. It is all about how you behave and conduct yourself. Don’t lose the game that you are supposed to win. The game is yours if you have a desire to learn and the patience to wait.

Investing: Hopes, Hypes, & Heartbreaks is written by a successful individual investor who has beaten the market averages by a wide margin year after year. This book is from the perspective of a common person who has everyday family responsibilities, a regular job or a business, a retirement fund, and some savings to invest. This book can help you achieve your financial freedom with less time, effort, and stress.
