The Intelligent Investor
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is my #1 recommended book for all investors to read. This book teaches many useful skills and mental models for an aspiring investor. Both the beginning and advanced investor will gain value from understanding the concept of Mr. Market and the difference between investing and speculation.

Motif Investing
- Specialty Broker: Stocks only
- Create your own index or mutual fund, or use one that someone else makes
- Buy up to 30 stocks at once with only one commission of $9.95
- I highly recommend Motif Investing as a “No-Fee” alternative to owning index or mutual funds. They will be cheaper to own over the long-term.
- Note: At no additional cost to you, I receive a small commission when you purchase a motif which I have designed. have designed and created my own index fund alternatives, which you can buy and own.
