Review title: Lots of Truth and Candor for the Money
Product review: A splendid book. I've admired Dr. Bernstein's efforts to popularize modern portfolio theory on his web site (The Efficient Frontier) and read his previous book on asset allocation (The Intelligent Asset Allocator). This book is his best effort yet to bring objective advice to the average investor about portfolio building.Previous reviewers have covered most aspects of this fine work, but I'd like to emphasize one aspect. All individual investors should understand the role of brokers, the financial press, and even mutual funds in the financial industry. Dr. Bernstein lays out who's interests they serve, and where their profits are derived. Be aware.Heartily recommended to new investors, and also to experienced investors who routinely rely on conventional means to make their investment decisions.
