Pick Your Portfolio
10 ETF & Stock Strategies for Busy Investors, with Clear Risk/Return Trade-Offs
Book 2 in the “Stop Overcomplicating Money” series. Short reads that help you act, not collect trivia.

You’ve seen a thousand opinions on “the best” portfolio. You don’t need more noise. You need a short list of simple options, side-by-side, with clear rules you can actually run.

This book does exactly that. If Book 1 helped you cut the nonsense and get organized, this one helps you choose a portfolio you’ll stick with—and shows you how to run it without drama.

What this book actually is

• 10 common portfolio setups (ETF & stock) that real retail investors can run—compiled so you don’t have to read three books or watch hours of videos.

• Side-by-side ratings so you can compare trade-offs quickly.

• Plain operating rules for the one you pick: contributions, simple rebalancing, and when (and when not) to adjust.

• Short behavior notes for rough markets—how to stay calm when prices fall.

What it isn’t

• No stock tips. No promises.

• No hack lists or magic numbers.

• No three-hour theory before you can act.

Who it’s for

• Busy people who want to decide once and move on.

• Retail investors who prefer automation over constant tinkering.

How to use it this week

• Skim once; pick one that fits your risk and attention level.

• Set your contribution and a simple rebalance schedule.

• Stop chasing tactics. Let the system run.

No clichés. No fluff. Just enough structure to make a decision you’ll keep.
