Publisher's summary

Best seller on Amazon!

Do you check your account every day and feel like you're always losing money? Worried the next recession will crash your portfolio? Pulling out your hair, while the daily news fills you with fear?

Then you are a victim of information overload!

This book provides a simple trading strategy to preserve and grow your wealth by filtering the noise to get more valuable information in less time, reducing your stock research and trading effort by over 99 percent, and betting on long-term value creation to achieve financial success!

We are told the money managers on Wall Street who spend all day checking every stock price movement, every CEO tweet, and every company filing footnote have an edge in the stock market....

But the pixelated truth is that information has mathematical limits: zooming into a single blurry pixel of an image tells you nothing about the big picture—the stock market is no different. Spending hours upon hours researching a business teaches you more and more about less and less, until you know everything about nothing! And even if we did know every detail of the business, the laws of nature tell us we can’t predict the future stock price in a complex marketplace anyway!

Consider a different approach: investing for beginners without complicated financial jargon mumbo jumbo. In Stop Checking the Price, you will learn how to:

• Follow the 1st Law of Investing for maximum long-term compounding.... And why the “risk-return trade-off” is backwards
• Use the famous "80-20 Rule" to cut your research time and stock trading effort down by 99 percent
• Filter bad apples (stocks) before they spoil the whole barrel (portfolio)
• Steal a page from the venture capitalist’s playbook for explosive growth.... And how to beat Warren Buffett!
• Set a timer and evaluate any stock in 60 seconds from a data snapshot

Don’t get lost in the blurry pixels—ZOOM OUT

Great Investment Knowledge

Man, have I messed up and lost a lot of money trying to learn the strategies taught in this book. If only I had listened to it sooner - bummer! I will try again using what I've learned here, and I hope to see profitable results this time.

One of the book's strengths is its ability to simplify complex investment concepts.

Highly Interesting!

I used to finish books on this topic and feel confused, but this listen offered simple and easy to understand solutions

Strong Believable Market Strategies

Very easy to understand stock market strategies. If you are a novice investor or seasoned, the information shared here can be described as ‘positive investing affirmations.’ Great work…Smooth narration!

A good and short ready reckoner for those who check prices daily or hourly

This book, aptly titled, is a good and short ready reckoner for those who check the stock prices daily if not hourly and then worry about their current or future portfolio. While I don’t personally subscribe to all the topics discussed in the book, the reader or listener can make an educated decision after reading this book as to what suits their lifestyle. One thing is for sure though, if you are a long term investor with retirement as your time horizon, there is one thing you need to do - that is stop checking the price daily.

Great book packed with info I never thought about

I have dabbled in investing for years. Diving into this audiobook has been an enlightening experience. It armed me with the knowledge to approach stock trading with confidence, steering me clear of the overwhelming sense of confusion I previously encountered. The book offers brilliant advice on sieving out underperforming stocks from one's portfolio, allowing the more promising ones to flourish. This audiobook is a must-listen for those setting foot in the investment arena.

Good insight!

Imagine a world where you're not a slave to the daily news or constantly second-guessing your investments. Instead, you embrace simplicity and focus on the core principles of wealth building. This audiobook dismantles the myth that more information always leads to better decisions. It encourages you to shift your perspective, to view your investments from a distance and concentrate on what truly matters. "Stop Checking the Price" offers practical strategies, like the "80-20 rule," which allows you to drastically reduce your research time while making smarter investment choices. It's about finding the signal amid the noise and harnessing the power of long-term value creation.

A Refreshingly Simple Approach to Investing

I absolutely loved "Stop Checking The Price" by J.F. Dodaro. He provides a comprehensive look at the stock market, specifically tailored to beginners, and delivers a refreshingly simple approach to investing. Instead of bouncing all over the place with disorganized trades, he emphasizes simplicity and trading only four times a year. This audiobook provides an effective roadmap for picking winning stocks without constantly checking market prices. It was incredibly easy to understand and follow, and I instantly felt confident in my ability to make smart investments.

The author also does a great job of highlighting the futility of obsessively tracking daily stock movements and drowning in financial news. He emphasizes the importance of conventional wisdom, offering a fresh perspective on wealth building. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a novice, this audiobook is a valuable guide to achieving financial success with simplicity and confidence.

The narration of the audiobook was exceptional and it was a pleasure to listen to. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to take a smarter approach to investing.

Wealth of Info for beginners

This book was well-written and engaging! The author was able to simplify investment strategies to make them digestible for novices and beginners. I am curious if I implement some of these strategies whether they will be as easy as described - but I am excited, nonetheless, to try some of these fresh ideas on my investment portfolio.

BEST book on stock investment!

This has to be one of the BEST recent books on stock investing! Stop Checking The Price and start buying great companies.

The author describes the ‘pixelated truth’ for why less is more when it comes to stock picking. While he gives credit to experts like Buffett who read hundreds of pages every morning with coffee, the idea behind the book is that the 80-20 rule allows the rest of us to easily filter out ‘bad apple’ companies as quickly as possible. Practically speaking, that boils down to a few simple numbers that can be found online for any company. I love the analogies throughout that simplify the ideas with a unique twist.

The author has a great sense of humor making this a joy to listen to. He admits this strategy is contrarian, but the book is filled with data and real numbers making the case. There is something in here for both experienced investors and beginners alike interested in the stock market.

The narrator of this audiobook truly shines! His captivating voice adds a layer of enjoyment that enhances the overall listening experience. Highly recommend!
