How to Make Money in Stocks—Getting Started is an important book for all investors.
If you’re new to the stock market and unsure—perhaps nervous—about how to begin investing, Matt’s book may be the missing link you’ve been looking for. You’ll find a step-by-step game plan with checklists and routines to make sure you start out right. More experienced investors can reference these same strategies and tools to streamline their routines and further improve their returns.
From the time I founded Investor’s Business Daily in 1984, we’ve focused on education, knowing that anyone with a desire to learn can become a successful investor. Since then, countless people from all walks of life have used IBD® and the CAN SLIM® Investment System to achieve significant results.
I first met Matthew Galgani a decade ago when he came to us to help market IBD to more investors. He also had a strong desire to master the CAN SLIM System to build his own financial future. Matt began attending dozens of IBD workshops around the country, then went on to help establish and expand the IBD Meetup® program in its early stages.
Since then, he has been involved in several pivotal educational products, including co-hosting IBD’s weekly radio show, editing the IBD®extra Newsletter, and creating IBD TV® videos. Matt also helped me develop the IBD Meetup Investor Education Series, a 13-part course created specifically for Meetup members. Each month, those interactive lessons are used by local groups all over the nation and are one of the best ways we’ve found to help investors establish a clear plan for making money in the market.
Getting Started is a natural complement to my earlier work, How to Make Money in Stocks. Matt’s book helps you take those crucial first steps while creating proper investing habits that help you build wealth over time. No one becomes a successful investor overnight. Like all skills, investing takes time and effort to learn. But anyone with patience and perseverance can do it. The key is to follow a sound plan and never give up.
I’ve read this book carefully and can tell you that in the pages ahead, you’ll discover an investing plan that works. The rest is up to you. I have no doubt that if you study and stick to the rules outlined in Getting Started, you can benefit greatly.
Understand that you do not need to do this on your own. IBD is here to help you every step of the way with free educational resources, including the IBD Meetup program, product training, IBD TV videos, and more. If you ever have any questions, call our toll-free educational hotline (800-831-2525) to get the help you need.
We’re wishing you the very best in your investing journey.
