Getting an Investing Game Plan 
Creating It, Working It, Winning It

A long-term game plan for investment success

What matters most in achieving financial success is not how well
one plays any single round of the investment game, but whether they
have a well thought out and complete investing game plan. An
investing game plan is a strategy designed to help investors
fulfill both their short- and long-term financial goals. In a
straightforward manner, Getting an Investing Game Plan explains why
every investors needs a game plan for both wealth creation and
wealth preservation, how to create one that suits their personal
risk tolerance level, and maybe most importantly, how to stick to
their plan despite market conditions.
