Book Reviews of the A Random Walk Down Wall Street: The Time-Tested Strategy for Successful Investing (Revised and Updated)
Customer Review: An improvement over the first edition
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually Burton's first book years ago was the first book on investing that was a great help for me. He was an advocate of index funds before they even existed. Part One of the book will tell about all you need about the history of the market in the first five chapters. He covers events that had you read his earlier books would have let you avoid the dot com melt down.
In part two-the next 3 Chapters he shoots down stock selection, technical analysis and introduces his random walk theory now adopted by the majority of experts.
The balance of the book explains the advantages and results of the application of index investing using Modern Portfolio Theory.
I also recommend a little book titled How to Make Money in the Stock Market-Buy 2,500 different stocks for $1000 - Pay no Commission. If you are familiar with the basics of investing (e.g., understand stocks and bonds, know how mutual funds work), then this is an ideal book for you to learn how to implement these superior strategies. The author tells you why you should stop paying attention to Wall Street, the media, and almost everyone else, and follow a proven investment method that is the most likely to lead you to success in the long run.
The book promotes Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), which use new Wall Street products such as index funds and exchange traded funds to obtain excellent returns with minimum risk. The author shows you how to mix various asset classes. He explains the theory's underpinnings in ordinary clear language making it easy to understand its applications in the real world. Model portfolios are provided to achieve planned results with a minimum degree of risk.How to Make Money in the Stock Market-Buy 2,500 Different Stocks-Pay no Commission
