Josh Brown and Brian Portnoy wrote a compelling new book - which I have yet to read but plan to read soon -that publishes essays by 25 financial professionals that share how each invests his or her own money. From what I’ve heard, “How I Invest My Money” (HIIMM) is a quick and easy read that pulls the curtain back to reveal financial professionals are not so different from everyone else. Everyone struggles to control his or her emotions when faced with market turmoil and HIIMM shares how these pros attempt to balance emotions and opportunity.
This site and HIIMM share a similar purpose: to share personal investing insights and methods. As I have not recently updated my investing strategy and tactic on this blog this post is designed to force me to reread what I wrote, analyze how my approach has changed, and report inconsistencies and evolution.
