Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the widely accepted theory that maximizing the expected average rate of return over long timelines will produce optimal returns for investors. The author posits that this logic is flawed and, in fact, a more conservative, diversified approach is more likely to generate better outcomes for investors. The author's work is well-researched and draws on a variety of sources to demonstrate the riskiness of popular portfolio management strategies. They conclude by suggesting that a more cautious approach to investing that focuses on long-term, steady growth is more likely to lead to investment success. For investors seeking a deep dive into the misconceptions and errors of the contemporary financial world, this book is an essential resource. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
