We need to get back to the basics

What if I told you the biggest threat to your success as an investor was not a market crash, geopolitics, inflation, or even bad stock picks? It’s your own impulses.

Many of today's tools, apps, and data resources - while exciting - are not helping us as individual investors. In fact, they’ve pulled us away from the timeless principles that work and are turning us into impulsive traders, not wealth builders.

Rather than making Wall Street work for our benefit, we wind up working for Wall Street’s benefit.

There is a group that wants to build a portfolio of stocks, real estate, and other assets that can compound and grow organically. They want to build wealth rather than endlessly trying to guess the next day’s move. They want to take advantage of the biggest advantage they have - time. And the biggest challenge they face is staying disciplined in a world that wants to pull them into a game they rarely win.

I call them the upcoming investors, and I'm writing a book to offer a plainspoken, easy-to-read guide to investing while building a community around these principles. My name is Spencer Weaver. Let’s get back to the basics and take control of our financial futures - together.
