Sensible Stock Investing is a Must-Have Guide
For New Millennium Investors
David Van Knapp cracks the code for greater investment return in a tough market
“Sensible Stock Investing is a pragmatic approach to help you, as an individual investor, pick, value, and manage your stocks for the long view." – Business Strategies Magazine
Bloomington, IN [May, 14, 2008]: In Sensible Stock Investing: How to Pick, Value, and Manage Stocks, author and investment expert David Van Knapp provides a straightforward, understandable methodology for choosing and managing an individual’s investment portfolio. Van Knapp, who holds a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, has taken the concept of the law’s “reasonable person” and modeled a “sensible investor” profile that can ultimately teach beginning investors a powerful method for choosing stocks. At the same time, experienced investors can gain valuable insight and increase the returns on their existing portfolios using Van Knapp’s proven techniques.
“When I was beginning my own stock investing years ago, I found myself facing what many new stock investors face, including confusing investment terminology, and seemingly irreconcilable differences among the various schools of investing,” said author Van Knapp. “So I began a ‘notes to self’ journal, writing down answers to problems as I discovered them through my own experience and research. Eventually I realized my ‘notes’ could become a book to help others become better investors.”
Sensible Stock Investing includes examples and other tools that help clarify the process of becoming a sensible and more profitable investor. Two sample portfolios take the reader through actual stock investments and illustrate the lessons learned as a result of each transaction. In addition the author has provided sample forms that include a document for rating stocks, a “shopping list” to use when picking stocks, and a tool for reviewing one’s portfolio on a consistent basis. A useful calendar with specific investing tasks appropriate for each particular month of the year is also included.
Sensible Stock Investing is an invaluable resource for any investor, particularly in today’s economic environment. The book describes in detail the three steps author Van Knapp has uncovered for making intelligent investment decisions that lead to better returns and decreased risk. From avoiding losses to identifying the characteristics of attractive stocks, Sensible Stock Investing cuts through the complicated world of Wall Street and provides the reader with a powerful way to beat the market.
