A Message from the President

Welcome to the Web site of the National Association of Online Investors. I hope you will spend some time exploring this site and learning about our truly unique set of investor education and empowerment products. We firmly believe that the NAOI Confident Investing Series courses can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your investing activities regardless of your experience level, your risk tolerance or the amount of money you have to invest .

From decades of experience as an individual investor and as a teacher of personal investing I know that the world of investing is not a friendly place. Much of the financial services industry is designed to sell you products, not to maximize your wealth. Our unquestioning trust in the advice of third parties, many of whom are salespeople, has cost the investing public billions of dollars in unrealized wealth. 

Why do we turn over our future financial security to people we barely know? Quite often the answer is that we are not confident in our own ability to make smart investing choices. Too many of us have been convinced by the financial services industry that all investing decisions are best left to professionals. 

This is not correct. 

You are fully capable of taking personal control of your investments. The critical factors that you need to do so include an academically rigorous training in investment basics, a structured environment in which to make decisions, a clear methodology for building your unique portfolio and a guide to Web resources that can increase your investing effectiveness exponentially. These are all factors that are provided by the powerful and truly unique educational products that the NAOI offers.

NAOI Courses Stand Alone In The Market

The NAOI has spent years working with and studying the individual investor market. It is based on this experience and input from thousands of people with money to invest that we have designed the most comprehensive and effective investor education courses available in the market. 

Our courses present a new and fresh approach to investing that we explain in the "New Approach" section of this site. Our courses utilize a uniquely effective multi-media format that is explained in the "Study Courses" section of this site. And our courses are appropriate for all investing styles from novice to expert and from conservative to aggressive. This topic is discussed in the "Your Investing Style" section of the site. To fully appreciate NAOI courses you should read each section. They are accessed via the menu at the top of each page. 

If we were simply selling investing "books" this Web site would consist of two or three pages of information at most. NAOI courses are not simple books. Rather, each is a total learning environment that immerses you in the learning experience. It is an approach that has proven effective both in home-study format and in the college classroom.

Prepare to Work, Prepare to Prosper

NAOI courses are not get-rich-quick schemes. Completing them takes time and effort. But course graduates can look forward to a lifetime of confident investing that has the potential to result in tens, or hundreds, of thousands of dollars of additional wealth over your investing career. In comparison, the upfront commitment of your time and money to learn how to take control of your investments is insignificant.

Please feel free to contact me directly at the email address shown below with any questions or comments about our offerings. Also if you would like to work with us as a partner, let's talk.

I look forward to welcoming you as an NAOI member soon.

Sincerely,

President,
