Investing Principles:
The More they Change ...
The More they Stay the Same!

There's an old saying that the more things change, the more they stay the same! I think that's even more true on the Stock Market these days.

You may think that's a really crazy statement! How could we possibly compare what is happening on the markets today with how the markets operated five or even three hundred years ago?

People have been saying "It's different this time" for hundreds of years! But not much has changed since Isaac Newton lost a fortune in the South Sea Trading Company fiasco of 1720.

This trading company had all the characteristics of a contemporary hot Internet stock, with investors creating a mania over the company's prospects for success.

Period!

But underlying all of this chaos are the ever lasting simple investment truths, the same simple investment truths that worked decades ago and still work today!

In fact, by embracing these simple investment truths ...

The same old and ever lasting truths that have been presented here in this book, today's investors can achieve financial success regardless of any changing market environments!
