About this listen
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The clearest and best book out there to get you on the path to riches. This one’s special!”—Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money
“Great tools for anyone wanting to dabble in the stock market.”—USA Today
Phil Town is a very wealthy man, but he wasn’t always. In fact, he was living on a salary of $4,000 a year when some well-timed advice launched him down a highway of investing self-education that revealed what the true “rules” are and how to make them work in one’s favor. Chief among them, of course, is Rule #1: “Don’t lose money.”
In this updated edition to the #1 national bestseller, you’ll learn more of Phil’s fresh, think-outside-the-box rules, including:
• Don’t diversify
• Only buy a stock when it’s on sale
• Think long term—but act short term to maximize your return
• And most of all, beat the big investors at their own game by using the tools designed for them!
As Phil demonstrates in this book, giant mutual funds can’t help but regress to the mean—and as we’ve all learned in recent years, that mean could be very disappointing indeed. Fortunately, Rule #1 takes listeners step-by-step through a do-it-yourself process, equipping even the biggest investing-phobes with the tools they need to make quantum leaps toward financial security—regardless of where the market is headed.
Critic Reviews
“Town's investment guide is manna from heaven… engaging and accessible… Town’s ability to break down that philosophy into a detailed, step-by-step program that can be understood by any reader with basic math skills is unique… will leave readers feeling empowered and ready to manage their money themselves.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A refreshing departure from those boring investing books… If you're tired of being shut out of how exactly the rich guys on Wall Street make money, this important book will teach you how to run with the bulls. It's priceless.” —Elizabeth MacDonald, Senior Editor at Forbes Magazine; regular, “Forbes on Fox”"]
“Rule #1 is probably one of the most inclusive, no nonsense, fundamental books about investing in the stock market I’ve ever read. This book is a must-read for everyone; from beginner students of the market to super know-it-alls.” —Danielle Hughes, President and CEO, Divine Capital Markets LLC

Need hardcopy
Plenty of references to diagrams that this audiobook has no attachment. Be helpful if some references were updated as they are outdated.
Otherwise the context is great.

He actually tells you how to Invest EASILY!!!
Best investing book I have ever listened to. I recommend buying the real book as well for the charts. If you are interested in investing yourself with minimum risk then listen to this guy. I went to one of his workshops and he is the real deal. Totally genuine and interesting in helping other people trade the way he and Warren Buffet does. You might also get the sequel Payback Time.

A great listen.

great content but not easy to follow, retain
I'd recommend buying the actual book to read- the chapters aren't labelled, there are data charts published in the book that he actually reads out- I had to grab a pen and paper to write them down- there's no pdf resource for this book here- which is a bit.... backwards

Too much theory
It is too much theory and is very dangerous for retail investors to apply as they may lose all their savings.
