The article is about how to become a smart investor in the stock market. It is 9 different

tips on how to invest and then goes into depth on each of those tips. The first topic was about

how even though the world is struggling in terms of other things happening in society the stock

market is thriving. Then it talks about specific funds that did better than the average fund

there is any background information in this article.It is strictly about how to invest smartly.

The author of the article is Jeff Sommer. Jeff works for the New York Times which is Commented [TP5]: Be careful of including phrases

which I imagine means that his research on the subjects is very thorough. I trust what he says

about the markets because he has a lot of experience and knowledge on the topics. I have
