Here are a couple “hand chosen” clips for you to watch and listen to over the weekend.    Listen to and watch them.  These will improve your investment IQ and success.  The majority of investment success comes from your ability to make decisions for yourself.  You have to learn not to think with the crowd.  If you don’t learn, you will only achieve average results at best.  Being mentally prepared and understanding the stronger forces like long term trends, investor psychology and history will help you more than any simple metric like a P/E or expense ratio.   These things I mention will give you vision and clarity.  It will lead to increased investment success and satisfaction.

Take a few minutes, sit back, relax and listen to these 2 very informative clips on investment success.  Then, if you like, share your thoughts in the comments section below.  Off to a great weekend!

2.  Eric King Interview with James Dines on How To Achieve Investment Success
