Dr. Hans Boeteng is also known as The Investing Tutor and he dedicates his work to teaching others how to analyze and engage wisely in the stock market.

He earned his Path of Distinction MBA from William and Mary and holds a Doctor of Pharmacy from St. John Fisher College. After he discovered how rich families built their fortune using the stock market, he decided to become an investor.

I first came across Suzanne Somers in the summer of 1986, as I was watching reruns of the early episodes of Three’s Company with my mom in our living room in Massachusetts.
