Keep Investment Simple and Stupid
Financial Youth Intelligence has made Financial Education Fun and Easy for thousands of youths in Malaysia. Now, it custom designs its wit and wisdom for today’s young aspiring investors and young aspiring traders.
‘How to Invest Like an Idiot & Trade Like a Pro?’ Seminar had helped youth to stand out, learn to build a portfolio of financial assets they can actually care about, and take advantage of the investor’s best friend – time – to watch their financial portfolio multiply for the past one year.
This year, we are proud to present KISS (Keep Investment Simple and Stupid), the investment book that is written by Jonathan Quek and Benny Lee based on the whole program.
In times of uncertainty, traditional advice about money & investments may no longer hold. In this exclusive book, you will gain a fresh look at all aspects of money & investing.
Most importantly, you will learn:
Investing isn’t a pro’s world anymore. Why some of the fund managers couldn’t even beat the chimpanzees? Yes! I’m talking about monkeys!
What are the silly mistakes that most people make when it comes to spending, savings & investing?
Why traditional advices like ‘High Risk High Return’, ‘Invest for Long Term’ & ‘Dollar Cost Averaging’ is nothing but a MYTH?
How to get started investing in stocks, gold, silver, and real estate with just a few hundred ringgits?
Discover the mindset and psychology of real traders and market wizards.

Most of the content is the same as the seminar. The trading part by Benny Lee however does include more specific lesson by Benny Lee.
A good book to keep to teach and remind you about the basics of investing and trading.

Language: Easy
Time to read: 3 hours.
While this book has a lot to say, there’s not much to be learned. It says to keep it simple, but I find that to be an imprecise adjective. Superficial would be more apt for the title.
The introduction and endings of the book provides pages of pamphlets-like write-ups about the writers, writings and seminars. Things that sell themselves. Then the book has two parts; first part is called How To Invest Like an Idiot and the second part is called How to Trade Like a Pro. To be fair there are tips and descriptions on how to invest, but they hardly seem enough and they are full of cautionary advices.
These cautionary advices are prevalent in self help and money making books, because this are the insurance for them. This book advices you should do this and that, but, always with a but, you have to study or know about certain/other things first.
If you’re an advanced trader (I am not), I think this book won’t be useful. If you’ve never done any trade, like me, I still think there might be other books to invest your time in. Pun intended.
Give this book a pass.

Simple explanation on the fundamental terms as the title book suggested. Learn new information about crude oil. Overall, not too profound but worth bookstore reading.
