About the Book

David’s debut book Money for the Rest of Us: 10 Questions to Master Successful Investing is being published through McGraw Hill and will be available October 25, 2o19.

The book’s ten-question framework gives rules of thumb to evaluate today’s potential investments as well as new ones in the years ahead. By applying the principles shared in this book one will:

  • Gain financial confidence and peace of mind even as others are overwhelmed with too many choices or are panicking during the latest market sell-off.

  • Act and invest like a portfolio manager. Portfolio managers compare and allocate money among investment opportunities by following an investing checklist like the one shared in this book.

  • Overcome the fear of making mistakes while avoiding large ones that devastate less disciplined investors.
