Alexander Green 
The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio 
Get Wise, Get Wealthy…and Get on With Your Life

A timeless investment guide that reveals how to consistently
earn market-beating returns while reducing risk

What every investor needs is a battle-tested strategy that
embraces the uncertainty of financial markets-and life in general.
One that will yield market-beating portfolio returns in both good
times and bad. The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio shows you what
that strategy is, how it works, and why you should begin using it
immediately.

The innovative approach outlined throughout these pages will
help investors enjoy a notably high probability of success by using
an investment strategy based on the notion that nobody knows what
the market is likely to do next, which, in effect, allows investors
to capitalize on uncertainty.

* Details one of the safest and simplest ways to reach your
long-term financial goals, and explores the financial and
psychological challenges you’re likely to face in the years
ahead

* The ‘Gone Fishin’ Portfolio’ is based on a Nobel Prize-winning
investment strategy that takes just twenty minutes to
implement

* Discusses the relationship between risk and reward in financial
markets, and reveals how the investment industry really works

The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio will allow you to reach your
most important investment goals, beat Wall Street at its own game,
and achieve the financial independence you deserve.
