Title: A well-reasoned, persuasive case for an index fund investing
Review: The author does a good job of explaing why markets are efficient and why you shouldn't waste your time trying to beat them with managed funds or market timing. The low-key common sense tone of the book combined with the step by step approach of how one might construct various model portfolios make this one of the more readable and useful investment books around. The author uses statistical analysis to make many of his points, though not in a tedious way. I took advanced statistics in Grad school and found his approach to be coherent and valid. A recent article in the New York review of books (on other investment books) seems to support what the author has to say as well.
