Book was shipped fast, and came in great condition. Couldn't ask for anything more
Rating: - A Must Read for Your Library
William Bernstein has written another must read for the individual investor who wants to chart his own course in the investment world. I was first introduced to this book at a local AAII chapter meeting. Everyone there who had read this book highly recommended it. I suggest reading this book before reading "The Intelligent Asset Allocator" also by the author.Both are excellent books on investing and well worth the time and money spent.

Rating: - Make This Book Your Foundation of Investing Wisdom
Bernstein has endowed individual investors with the most important fundamentals of investing, weaving together the theory, history, psychology and business of investing into a gem of understandable language for mere mortals. I recommend this book often to my clients and encourage anyone who is serious about investing their money successfully to read this book before allocating a penny to any investment.
