“If I had bought this book 20 years ago and invested the same way,
“The principal would have increased 184 times.”
The strategy that set a new record of 11,000% returns at the World Investment World Cup.

Would you believe that a book published a full 20 years ago accurately predicted the current situation? It may seem unbelievable, but it's true.
First published in 2003, this book accurately predicted the bottom of the U.S. stock market in October 2022.
The author of this book, Larry Williams, has been a successful investor for 60 years and is considered an investment legend.
He said there are only two ways to succeed in stock investing.
Buying 'good stocks' at 'good times'.
The truth is so simple, but the results are powerful.
If you had invested for 20 years using the method Williams presents in this book, you would have earned 184 times your initial investment.
Let's learn together the simple yet powerful investment secret of buying good stocks at the right time.

Ultimately, you need to know not only the exact week or day you should buy or sell stocks, but also the exact time.

If there's one survival tip in investing, it's understanding that stock market fluctuations are largely a reaction to investor sentiment.

The problem with looking only at price trends is that it doesn't focus on earnings, dividends, industry growth, or the company's activities.
Saying that a stock is worth buying because its price is lower than it was in the past cuts off the logical, rational process for making wise investment decisions.
The more fundamental problem is that there are good reasons why stock prices are low.

People are drawn to the concept of long-term investing because they like the idea of ​​not having to make many decisions, not having to put in a lot of effort, and having their money sitting there for a long time.
The idea of ​​having a long-term plan gives me a sense of comfort.
As if my life was completely planned out.

It has been so in the past, and it will be so in the future.
Therefore, the goal of investing should be to enter at the right time and exit at the right time.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people like us to consistently find rising stocks.
The overall approach to investing in these stocks, or so-called "good stocks," is basically to focus on the stories and rumors, or to find stocks that have already risen significantly in the hope that they will rise further.
Finding stocks like this can hardly be considered an investment.
It's more like gambling.
You are not buying stocks.
It is buying hope, and a vain hope at that.

There is always plenty of time to invest.
Anytime, any time, any time, any time, any time you hear someone say you need to get in on any stock, right now, that should be a wake-up call.
There is always room in the market.
Time is not our enemy, but our friend.
When it comes to investing, don't rush to judgment.
