Stocks 4.0: How Young Adults Can Secure Their Financial Future
MAKING MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET
Making money in the stock market is the by-product of executing a disciplined investment style. This means "knowing the numbers" and acting on cue as conditions warrant. All too often young investors make investment decisions without understanding the numbers. Stocks 4.0 blends concepts and practice; it is premised on the understanding that it is extremely hard to be successful in the stock market without this knowledge and discipline.
THE KEYS: ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY
The keys to developing and executing a disciplined investment style are analysis and strategy.
Fundamental analysis exposes the building blocks crucial to investing. This means a thorough examination of the financial health and history of companies. Becoming a stockholder means buying into a business. It is essential to understand the financials and the “accounting lingo” that goes with it.
Technical analysis underlies the trading techniques that produce many winning investment strategies.
Stock strategies are the foundation of investing. They narrow investment choices to a manageable number and instill a controlled approach to trades.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joe Spinella is a highly successful individual investor and the expert talent behind the Chestnut and Cedar Stock Report. His investment guides, Stocks 4.0 and two other books, are filled with the methods and strategies he employs to his own advantage.
Investing wisely, as he demonstrates, is instrumental to the future financial well-being of today's young adults, due to the shrinking pool of work and government retirement benefits. A projection, based on U.S. Census Bureau data, says that 25-45 year-olds, the "X" generation, will live an average of 101-108 years and spend 50-60 years working. Today's college crowd will live and work even longer.
