Money Before Markets

No house stands on sand, however carefully it is built. Part 1 is the ground you build on. There is not a single mention of shares, mutual funds or the stock exchange in these five chapters — and that is deliberate. Most people who lose money in the securities market lose it because Part 1 was never done, not because they picked the wrong fund.
