Review title: Good general concepts...can be inaccurate at times
Product review: The author makes a worthy stab at reviewing the topic of investing, its theory, history, psychology, and business practices. For the most part, this is a good book for the beginner and intermediate investor. With the right level of attention, it could leave the reader with a road map for the future which would be solid enough.But, the author gets a little too passionate about his arguments and points more than once, and overstates his case. Since the book is written for a novice investor, this is a dis-service. Also, the book has some inaccuracies and inconsistencies, none of which are fatal, but some are material.Finally, the author tries to run the reader through some asset allocation examples - which turn out to be overly complex on the one hand, and simplistic on the other.All in all, a good book, but should only be a starting point for the curious investor.
