Alright, let me make a disclaimer first. This is article is merely my opinion based on all the personal finance and investing books that I’ve read. I’m no financial planner and I’m not an investment professional so take the advice here with a grain of salt. I’m likely just like you, except I studied a few good investing books here and there.

You WILL still need to do your own research to find the investing style that works for you.
