Rule #1 by Phil Town
π The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week
Phil Town was living in a teepee as a river guide when a wealthy client took pity on him. “I’ll teach you the secret of investing,” he said. “But you must promise to teach others.” The secret was Rule #1: Don’t Lose Money.
Sounds simple? It is. Effective? Phil turned $1,000 into $1.45 million in 5 years. Now it’s your turn to learn what Warren Buffett calls “the first rule of investing.”
