Are you confident you're getting the best possible financial advice? You might have a few advisors, a CPA, and an estate attorney, all of whom you like, but you don't talk that often or feel an emotional connection with any of them. They've never drilled down to ask about what matters to you: your goals, values, relationships, or charitable interests.Too many advisors today focus on products, not people, and are more concerned with allocating capital than allocating risk. They build portfolios on faulty assumptions that lead to bad decisions and unnecessary market exposure.To protect what you've built, you need a better approach to wealth management.In Navigate the Investment Jungle, Douglas Stone points out seven financial traps you might have fallen into without even realizing it. Douglas shows how to climb out of any traps you find yourself in and equips you to sidestep them in the future. Once you know the real risk, you'll invest with more confidence knowing your assets are better protected.

The numbers on your scale don't indicate if you are fit or fat. Far more considerable than your total body weight is the composition of your body tissue. In case a man’s fatty tissue is greater than 14% up to 15% of his body mass, or in case a woman’s is more than 20% to 22%, he or she is overweight, or more exactly, overfat. A tiny amount of fat is required for padding the internal organs and as insulation under the skin. Excess fat leads to such diseases as diabetes, gout, high blood tension, coronary artery disease, and gallbladder difficulties. There are really few, really, really fat persons. The reason is that the fittest, not the fattest survive. This is what we will talk about in this book: Table Of Contents: Cross Training for Fitness and Fatloss How to Read Food Labels Exercise and Arthritis Exercise and Cellulite Exercise and Hypertension Exercise and Pregnancy Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes
