Chris Odegard is the founder of TheProlificInvestor.net, the highest-rated and most-reviewed Alternative Investment Blog. Through his articles and videos, Chris challenges the Conventional Wisdom that stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs through 401Ks and IRAs are the way to retirement and financial freedom. Instead, Chris created the Hierarchy of Investors to show the overwhelming advantages of Alternative Investments over Conventional Investments, all of which Chris explains in his book, Get off Your A$$ and Manage Your Money: Why You Need Alternative Investments.
