Background

About Phil Town

Rule #1 is an investment Bible of our time."- Forbes I have authored 2 New York Times Best-Sellers: Rule #1 and Payback Time. In 2014, my Rule #1 portfolio was ranked No. 1 by the American Association for Individual Investors when it produced a 50% rate of return. In 2013, it produced a 47% rate of return. I’ve been invited to speak on some of the most respected news stations and shared stages with Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, and more. My mission is to empower individual investors around the world to take control of their money and transform their lives the Rule #1 way. Rule #1: Don’t lose money and Rule #2: Don’t forget Rule #1. I take a different approach than most “expert” investors out there:* I don’t believe in giving away your savings to mutual fund managers so they can leave you with less than you started with.* I won’t tell you to over-diversify in mutual funds. Instead, I’ll only encourage you to buy a business you believe in when it’s at an attractive price. This is the foundation of Rule #1 Investing.* I show you how to stay rational in the face of market volatility: buy in fear and sell in greed. Don’t purchase or sell anything based on emotional stock market trends!
