Asset Allocate with Index Securities
Modern portfolio theory (MPT) has an aggressive advocate in Larry E. Swedroe's RATIONAL INVESTING IN IRRATIONAL TIMES. Investors are advised to stick with index funds, tax managed funds, or exchange traded funds (ETF) and allocate across a range of asset classes. This investment strategy may be a little dull, Swedroe concedes, but his evidence for its soundness is compelling. This book is ...

It's True
The title is bold, almost arrogant. But after scrutinizing and using this work, if I were to throw all my other investing books away, my strategy would indeed not suffer. It is now common to say, but Swedroe does a stellar job of distilling complex investing concepts into accessible prose that suggests a sound tactical plan. As always, his arguments are based on evidence--peer-reviewed ...

Another Swedroe Classic
I was very impressed with this book and give it an A. Swedroe's investment advice is excellent and the writing style is very easy and fun to read. I read all 4 of Larry Swedroe's stock investing books in the last few weeks, and although they are excellent books and I agree with most of his recommendations, he tends to re-use the same information in each book. To keep this book straight in ...

Another Great Book by Larry Swedroe
This book is so well written and educational that I read it from cover to cover in only a few days. I found the arguments for the "good" investments well supported, and the explanation for the "flawed," "bad" and "ugly" convincing and supported by facts and research. I only wish that this book was available before I bought some of the bad and ugly investments in the past. As with Swedroe's ...

This theory actually works
Pre-2000 meltdown, I had control of $75k in an IRA. I watched and believed I could join all those people making so much before the Internet bubble burst. After the burst, my bubble dropped all the way down to $42k. Man, am I a great investor or what? Then, I read this book. Sold all the stock that was left, allocated into a "risky" portfolio of Index Funds ( I went a little deeper with the small ...

Strong Foundations For Investors
After reading Larry Swedroe's excellent second and third books I felt compelled to return and read this, his first book. My urge to do so has been more than adequately rewarded by this excellent text. Larry Swedroe lays strong foundations by focusing on three major areas. First, he summarizes the results of several studies indicating that passive investment strategies outperform, over time and ...
