Ebook pdf Description Before I became "Phil Town, teacher of investing principles to more than , people a year", I was a lot like you: someone who viewed individual stock investing as way too hard to do successfully.
As a guy who barely made a living as a river guide, I considered the whole process pretty impenetrable, and I was convinced that to do it right you had to make it a full-time job. Me, I was more interested in having full-time fun.
