The Potential, the Problem and the Solution for Today's Individual Investor

Double digit portfolio returns are possible in any market condition, without excessive risk, if you know where to look and what to do.

The Potential: The US Stock Market is the greatest generator of wealth the world has ever known. Yet few individuals take advantage of its potential. Why? Quite simply because they have not been taught how to invest. As a result, most simply hand their money to advisors and end up owning a portfolio of mediocre stock and bond funds and take their chances. 

Yet in any given year there were investments that returned 30%, 40%, 50% and higher. Unfortunately, advisors will probably not tell you about these types of  investments if they don't get commissions on them. As an NAOI graduate you will be able to find these types of investments on your own. 

The Problem: So, why does the average person with money to invest passively accept a grossly under-performing portfolio? Because they are not confident in their investing abilities and the current state of investor education is chaotic and ineffective. A person seeking to learn how to invest today is confronted with and endless stream of random investing "information", dozens of fraudulent "get rich quick" schemes and a constant barrage of suspect "advice". Unable to sort through this mess, most people often simply give up in despair and allow a third party to determine their financial security. This is a problem. Now there is a solution.

The Solution: NAOI Education solves the problem. From over 12 years of working with the public the NAOI knows that individuals want education that is comprehensive, totally objective and academically rigorous. In short, they want the equivalent of a college course in investing. This is what the NAOI provides via the Confident Investing Education Series described here.



The "NAOI Individual Investor Certification Series": A Clear Path to Effective Investing


NAOI Education Courses empower you to make confident investing decisions regardless of your investing "style", whether it be conservative or aggressive and whether you plan to trade on your own or work with a financial advisor. 

The NAOI Individual Investor Certification Series is the core product offered by the association. The Series consists of five home-study courses that you see in the right column of this page. Each course consists of a hardcopy book seamlessly integrated with an online component accessed on this site via an NAOI Membership. The hardcopy book allows for convenient study. The online component enables students to actively participate in the learning process as explained in the Study Courses area of this site.

The series is logically constructed to first make sure you have a firm grounding in the basics of investing and a detailed Investing Plan that will guide your decisions. Then a separate course is dedicated to each of four types of investing that all individuals should consider including in their portfolio. Below are the courses of the Confident Investing Series. Each is explained in detail in Study Courses area of this site.

  • Course 1: Investing Basics and creating Your Unique Investing Plan

  • Course 2: Developing Your Core Funds Portfolio

  • Course 3: Investing in Focused Funds - A Guide to Target Market Investing

  • Course 4: The Art and Science of Trading Individual Stocks

  • Course 5: Stock Options for the Average Investor

Each NAOI Course is a separate learning unit that can be taken without taking any of the other courses in the Series. Students who complete all courses will have a comprehensive understanding of the full range of investing activities available to them and be able to choose those that fit their investing style. And they will achieve NAOI Certification as explained below.

The NAOI Investor Certification designation and diploma are awarded to graduates of all courses in the Confident Investing Series. NAOI Certified Investors will be fully empowered to invest with total confidence and to maximize the wealth potential of their portfolios. This award and what it signifies are explained in the Certification area of the site.

NAOI Specialty Courses are offered in addition to the Confident Investing Series. These courses teach students how to take full advantage of the absolute best sites on the Web. The first such course is shown at the bottom of the column of courses at right. More will follow.

 

NAOI Courses Provide True Education: There Is A Difference

NAOI Classroom Courses have been Approved for Continuing Education Credits

How is NAOI Education different from other "education" resources available on the market? It is an important question. 

The average person today seeking to learn how to invest is faced with a chaotic array of choices. They must sort through hundreds of books, newsletters, seminars, TV/radio shows and a constant stream of information from the financial media. This is not true education, it is simply random "information". None of this will make you a confident investor.

True Investing Education is something else entirely. It is designed by academic experts, not Wall Street mavens or marketing boiler rooms. It provides objective and comprehensive content structured in a logical manner. This content is presented in a professionally designed learning environment that includes active student participation, testing, knowledge reinforcement, progress tracking, motivation and reward for graduating. These elements are a part of each NAOI course. Click here for more details.

NAOI Courses are not "get-rich-quick" schemes. They take time and effort to complete. But graduates of this true education program will have the knowledge, tools and structure to invest with confidence. And this benefit lasts a lifetime

March 14, 2013

Aloha Leland,

I just completed your NAOI Individual Investor Certification Program last night and was extremely excited to finally be able to order my diploma. I will proudly hang it on my wall to remind myself of the effort and knowledge that I have put into and gained from your program. I wanted to thank you for creating the NAOI education program because it has opened up my eyes to the investing possibilities that I always knew were around but never knew how to take advantage of. 

You have helped to empower me to make informed investing choices, and taught me that I don't need to put my financial future in the hands of other people. I would also like to comment that I really appreciated and enjoyed the fact that the information was presented in a way that even a financially uneducated person can understand. I would love to share the knowledge that I have gained through your program with everyone I know and come into contact with, and would love to become a part of the NAOI Empower American Investors Project. Please tell me how I can "help myself and help others."


Chason D. Calimpong, Kaneohe, HI. (Oahu).

After completing an NAOI course I took 30 minutes to analyze the portfolio my advisor had put in place for me. Was it ever a mess. The risk level was off the charts! Fortunately I now know how to fix it .... and how to find a better advisor .... Alan H. These courses are exactly what I was looking for. They are comprehensive, well organized and written in language I can understand. I wish I had taken them 20 years ago. ..... Stan K. I will never be an active investor but as an NAOI graduate it takes me just a few minutes, using free Web resources,  to analyze my advisor's recommendations  ....and he knows it. The quality of his advice has sure improved.... Alice G.
Finally, a study program that doesn't try to sell me a specific product or investing strategy. The NAOI gave me the knowledge, structure and tools to make my own decisions, ones that fit my unique needs...  Karen H. The NAOI courses showed me where to find the most powerful investing resources  on the Web, and almost all are free to use. Without these courses I would never have found them .... Cindy W. The NAOI course I took transformed me from a bewildered bystander to a motivated and involved investor. I now have a substantial second income and I spend very little time in the process .... 
Don B.
I have transformed my investing library from shelves of half-read books to 5 slim NAOI Course workbooks. The multi-media format is, without a doubt, the future of all investing publications.
...
. Jim M.
Wake up academia! These are the courses that should be offered in every high school and college in America. Our young people need to learn how to invest NOW to face the financial future that's in store for them.  Mary F. ..... High School Teacher The NAOI course I finished took the fear out of investing for me. I no longer passively accept the single digit returns I have been getting for years. NAOI education is one of the best investments I have ever made .... Kevin B.
