This review is from: Worry-Free Family Finances (Paperback)

A former investment advisor was "shocked and awed" when I told him that my stock portfolio (stocks picked with advice from Bill Staton) had earned on average better than 25% each of the past three years. Hopefully that will be the last time I hear from him.
