Just before he retired 20 years ago, he took the CFP program at a local Atlanta college and passed the Certified Financial Planner boards. Despite his formal training, Steve learned next to nothing about how to make money in either stocks or his other love, real estate. Steve developed the simple stock strategy taught in this book on his own and has used it since 1983, enabling him to retire early. Steve's big picture goal is to help eliminate financial illiteracy and this book will help many people learn how to handle the ups and downs of the stock market. Steve lives in Georgia, where he is active in the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association. A highly rated instructor at GaRIEA, he has taught courses on investing in student housing, condos, the stock market, and in mastering passive income.ver menos
