Synopsis

Using the Dot-Com crash as an object lesson in how not to manage your portfolio, this is a gimmick-free, irreverent and informative guide to navigating the turbulence of the market and managing investments with confidence. Designed to be read by the first-time investor before taking the plunge and starting a portfolio, it matches the needs of investors at any age bracket with its life-cycle guide to investing. Malkiel shows how to analyze the potential returns, not only for stocks and bonds, but for the full range of investment opportunities, from money-market accounts and real estate investment trusts to insurance, home ownership and tangible assets such as gold and collectibles. The book should be useful for those wanting to brief themselves on the ways of the market before talking to a broker, or as a guide to managing your own portfolio.
