Title: Changed my mind on Investment Strategies
Product review: Bought this book with an eye towards value stock picking. I've read a few others, most notably Peter Lynch, and dabbled with a few thousand while keeping my savings in cash.Graham and his commentators seem to have no agenda other than what's best for the investor. Before I got to chapter 8 he had convinced me that individual stock picking was a waste of my time. Dollar cost averaging into Index Funds and ETFs while they're cheap, balancing towards bonds when they're not; these are easy "set and forget" strategies and Graham has convinced me that they pay off.I'll still buy a few individual stocks, just like I still like to shoot craps in Vegas. Take a small amount and be willing to lose it. For the rest of my savings I'll do the hardest thing for a "Defensive" Investor: leave it alone.
