The Risks and Rewards Of Self-Managing Investment Portfolios

Ted

FYI: WHEN Ken Kavula of Genesee, Mich., retired from his job as a high school principal at age 53, he decided to defy conventional wisdom and manage his own financial life — including his retirement accounts and a mix of stocks and bonds he had either accumulated on his own or inherited.

Fifteen years later, Mr. Kavula, now 68, has ridden the huge highs and crushing lows of the markets so well that he has enough to live off, for now, without even tapping some accounts.

Thank you. I have similar personal experience with that of Mr. Kavula, except I started in my early 30's with job changes and a growing family. There is nothing more satisfying than learning to become a competent and well-informed investor.
