Stop Making Stupid Investments
Seven Rules to Avoid the Hype and Build Real Wealth
Book •
David Leiter draws on decades in real estate and finance to give retail investors a plain‑spoken framework for avoiding speculative traps and the “magic money mill.
” The book presents seven rules centered on understanding cash flows, limiting downside risk, resisting FOMO, and doing the math on pitches and spreadsheets.
Leiter combines personal anecdotes from dot‑com and crypto cycles with concrete examples of misleading deal presentations and red flags to watch for.
He also provides a simple framework for evaluating legitimate investments and stresses temperament and contrarian thinking as key advantages.
The work aims to help ordinary investors build long‑term wealth by focusing on rigorous analysis rather than hype.
