Beating The Market

James Park is a CPA who has worked in the accounting profession for many years. He has a BS from Franklin University and an MBA with a focus on finance from The Ohio State University. Investing has always been one of his many passions. He believes in a self-directed, low-fee approach that relies on asset allocation and rebalancing. When discretionary income is involved, investors should be at liberty to increase their risk-reward position without losing sleep. Beating The Market goes against the grain of his previous titles, Dividend Investing and Preparing For Financial Success. Both of these works focus on building wealth over the course of one's life. With Beating The Market, the focus shifts to making lucrative investments today that will pay off over a shorter period of time. The foundation of this strategy is to make investments from discretionary income without putting your retirement savings in danger. By doing so, the psychology of the game changes and your ability to achieve larger returns improves.
