Here are the top stories that were featured in our Investment U Daily this week... Alexander Green Chief Investment Strategist Practical Advice From the Best Wealth-Creator I Know It's a truism in our capitalist society: You don't get rich working for someone else. You get rich working for yourself. Yet the overwhelming majority of Americans don't understand how to start their own business. They feel like they don't have a good enough idea or enough capital to make a go of it. To top it off, most are understandably scared to leave their current job or risk their savings on a new enterprise. Still... they understand that they'll never achieve financial independence - or significantly upgrade their lifestyle - without becoming an entrepreneur of some sort. If this sounds familiar, let me make a recommendation...

This is why the timing of Marc Lichtenfeld's new book, Get Rich with Dividends, couldn't be better. I've always been impressed with Marc's versatility as an analyst. He's a great growth stock picker, and also develops winning income strategies.

What if all the money that the Fed is printing leads to hyperinflation? What if interest rates stay low for years? The list goes on and on...

Perhaps that's because he's never been as wild as most boys. He's contemplative, serious and has a long attention span. A few years ago, I showed him how to play poker. (I figured someone has to pay for his college education. So it might as well be his fellow students.) He got into it.
