Praise for The Perfect Portfolio

"Today's markets are rife with challenges that confound novice and professional investors alike. Thankfully, The Perfect Portfolio provides the type of 'outside the box' thinking that can enable individual investors to not only cope with these challenges but also to view them as profit-making opportunities."
-Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, The Money Coach (from the Foreword)

To achieve long-term success in today's market, you can't place your faith totally in financial "experts" who are far too often salespeople first and objective advisers second. You must take personal control of your hard-earned savings and build a portfolio that gives you a realistic chance of earning returns that enable you to meet the investing goals you really want to achieve in life.

That's why Leland Hevner-President of the National Association of Online Investors (naoi.org) and a longtime educator in the financial field-has created The Perfect Portfolio.
