The NAOI Proudly Announces the Release of the
"2009 Confident Investing
Education Series"
Finally!
This is the college-level investor education program
you have been looking for to bring order and understanding to the incredibly confusing world of personal
investing. This is the resource that will enable you to transform your
portfolio from a murky collection of under-performing, advisor
recommendations into a significant source of income and wealth. This
is the resource that will enable you to finally
take personal control of your investments and, thus, your
future quality of life.
Written
for the average individual with money to invest and consisting of five multi-media courses
the" 2009 Confident Investing Education Series" is
the market's first and only serious investor education program available in
home-study format. The courses that make up the series are shown
in the right column of this page and described in detail throughout
this site.
This is TRUE
education designed by academic experts, not by "marketing
types" whose only goal is to sell you false hopes and impossible
dreams. NAOI courses
are objective, comprehensive and they take work to complete. But, if you are prepared to
exchange time and effort for a level of income and wealth that you did
not think possible, then you
have come to the right place.
NAOI courses give you the Knowledge, Web Resources and Structured
Methodology you need to become
a confident investor regardless of your investing "style".
If you are an aggressive investor they will show you how to aim for
returns that significantly exceed market averages. If you are more
conservative they will show you how to protect what you currently have
and steadily grow your wealth with minimal risk. Click here for
information about investing styles and where you fit.

information that compares NAOI Courses to the alternatives you have for obtaining
investing knowledge. To

absolutely FREE for a limited time.
This is a full college-level course consisting of over 150 pages of
material! Click the Course 1 cover at right for details. Take the
course and then decide if you want to continue. You
risk nothing!

The Potential, the Problem and the Solution for Today's Individual Investor
|
Double digit portfolio returns
are possible in any market condition if you know where to look.
|
The Potential: The US Stock Market is the
greatest generator of wealth the world has ever known. Yet
few Americans 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 large-cap index funds that barely
squeeze out single digit returns.
Yet in 2008 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:
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 thousands of
sources of random investing "information", hundreds of
fraudulent "get rich quick" schemes and a constant barrage of
suspect "advice". Unable to sort through this mess to find true
education, most people often simply give up in despair and pass their
financial futures to an advisor/salesperson. This is a problem. Now there is a solution.
The Solution: NAOI Education
solves the problem. From
close to 10 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 Confident Investing 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 Confident Investing Education 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.

the input from our over 2,000 students. These testimonials tell our
story far better than we can.

NAOI Education
is for investors at all stages of their life!

$5,000++
or $500 - One Man's Decision
I have attended multiple stock and options trading seminars where vendors
have tried to convince me that investing success is simple if I just
spend
several thousand dollars on their training courses, software and data feeds.
It sounded so simple and it is easy to get caught-up in the excitement
of the crowd and make an impulse buy.
But something just didn't "feel" right with any of these
systems.
After all, if it was so easy to make money trading stocks from home for a few
minutes per day, why are these salespeople constantly traveling, staying
in hotels and presenting seminars? I
realized I did not know enough about investing in general to make a
multi-thousand dollar commitment based on a sales pitch, no matter how
compelling.
Instead of
spending thousands of dollars on something I wasn't sure of, I spent
several hundred dollars on the "NAOI
Individual Investor Certification Prgoram". What I
learned here gave me the knowledge I needed to evaluate any trading system
- and to ask the right questions. I no longer accept sales pitches
"on faith".
The NAOI saved me
a minimum of $5000 I would have wasted on a trading system I was not
prepared to use - and which I now seriously doubt even works. I'm still open to considering
legitimate trading tools, but I am now capable of separating those with
value from those that are pure scams. Plus I learned that I am perfectly
capable of investing on my own using free tools on the Web! Thank
you NAOI!

| 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.

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. |
