Long-term investing, like mountain climbing, is a journey with no shortcuts to success. In The Steady Climb, Jay Hack, financial advisor and former mountain guide, shares a philosophy of wealth management passed down from his father, Paul Hack. Optimistic, fundamentally sound, and patient, it is a philosophy based on the wisdom of history's great investors-and a philosophy that applies to more than investing. As the stories in this book illustrate, taking the long-term approach isn't always easy emotionally, whether in the markets, the mountains, or anywhere in between-but, historically, it has been very effective.
