“A must-read for any investor.”―Browser

One of the “few great investment books” (Andrew Tobias) ever written, with 2 million copies in print.

In a time of rampant misinformation about ways of growing your money, Burton G. Malkiel’s gimmick-free investment guide is more necessary than ever. Whether you’re considering your first 401k contribution or contemplating retirement, the fully updated, fiftieth anniversary edition of A Random Walk Down Wall Street remains the best investment guide money can buy.

Drawing on his experience as an economist, financial adviser, and successful investor, Malkiel shows why an individual who saves consistently over time and buys a diversified set of index funds can achieve above-average investment results. He addresses current investment fads and critically analyzes cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and meme stocks. Malkiel reveals how to be a tax smart investor and how to make sense of recently popular investment management techniques, including factor investing, risk parity, and ESG portfolios.

Investors of every age, experience level, and risk tolerance will find the step-by-step guidance they need to protect and grow their dollars.

Title: An Entertaining and Engaging Intro to Investing
Review: I've wanted to learn more about investing, but my eyes tend to glaze over with jargon and charts. This book brings together history, psychology, social science, economics, and a good degree of opinionated humor to explain investing. It builds to some how-to advice, but along the way it provides a context that's fascinating in its own right. I appreciated the plain-English explanations and analogies that made sense of things that seemed downright mystical. I'm glad I read this.

Review: Don’t let professional investors deceive you. Investing truly is a simple, yet unpredictable activity. So unpredictable that you need a simple strategy to optimize returns while minimizing losses. Take the random walk, your retirement needs it.

Review: This is a reasonably easy read, and most of it makes a good deal of sense. It promotes that individuals will usually be best served by accumulating their wealth through regular investment into indexed products. It justifies this approach by analysing all the other common approaches - technical & fundamental analysis, smart beta, risk parity & ESG investing, and compares the results of each approach over time. It also gives specific age-related advice for portfolio construction, but this assumes the investor is a US citizen so is much less useful to a UK reader. Where I think the book is really weak is that it does not analyse in any detail the dreadful year of 2022 when nearly all investors were down. Indeed, in Chapter 8 when discussing diversification, it states that Bonds were a good place to hide in the Great Financial Crash of 2008-9, yet doesn't mention at all the fact that bonds were not the place to hide in 2022. It is almost as if they don't want to spoil their diversification theory with the most recent and un-supporting evidence.
