The Lies About Money
Achieving Financial Security and True Wealth by Avoiding the Lies Others Tell Us – and the Lies We Tell Ourselves
Free Press, 2007
Aperçu
If you just know the truth about money, you can reduce your risk, lower your fees and improve your returns.
Recommendation
Financial adviser Ric Edelman outlines some sound principles of investing in simple, straightforward and accessible chapters. Anyone wondering about how to save and invest can benefit from reading his book, either because you’ll learn something new or because you’ll be reminded of old, true principles. However, some of Edelman’s recommended asset allocation strategies may be open to further discussion, even when studied in the light of the portfolio selection principles that he outlines in the book. getAbstract recommends paying very careful attention to Edelman’s solid chapters on financial basics, academic research, mutual fund abuses, and specific challenges such as saving for retirement, life insurance and income investing.
