Gary D. Lemon wrote Savvy Investing: Strategies for Successful Investing as a primer for anyone who wants to invest in the stock market. Professor Lemon has won numerous teaching awards and has held several endowed chairs while teaching at DePauw University. He has received a PhD in economics and has taught investments at the university level. He has given advice on television, radio, and in print about how individual investors should allocate investment money to maximize their returns.
In the corporate world, he chairs an investment committee that oversees the investment of billions of dollars in scores of mutual funds. He has conducted investment seminars for individual investors and has helped individuals construct investment portfolios. Working in academic, corporate, and private sectors gives him a perspective different from most individual investors and investment advisors.
