The Serious Money Train transports readers on a cross-country trip that helps clarify the inherent complexities of successful investing and money management. Author Jeffrey Ross uses the lengthy train ride as a metaphor for the lifetime financial journey traveled by every serious investor. Strange noises, unpredictable conditions, hair-raising curves and frequent temptations to get off the train threaten the successful completion of the trip. However, Ross gives readers the principles, strategies and skills to overcome these obstacles, prudently manage their serious money and successfully complete their financial journey. The concepts and ground rules Ross illuminates are based on client conversations and lessons learned over his thirty-year career as a leading financial advisor to investors with substantial assets.
