A Random Walk Down Wall Street: The Time-Tested Strategy for Successful Investing - Hardcover

"Do you want to do well in the stock market? Here's the best advice. Scrape together a few bucks and buy Burton Malkiel's book. Then take what's left and put it in an index fund." "Imagine getting a week-long lesson on investing from someone with the common sense of Benjamin Franklin, the academic and institutional knowledge of Milton Friedman and the practical experience of Warren Buffett. That's about what awaits you in the latest edition of this must-read by Burton Malkiel." "Not more than half a dozen really good books about investing have been written in the past fifty years. This one may well belong in the classics category." "If one of your New Year's resolutions is to improve your personal finances, here's a suggestion: Instead of picking up one of the scores of new works flooding into bookstores, reread an old one: A Random Walk Down Wall Street." "An engagingly written and wonderfully argued tome." "A useful introduction to investing with lots of common-sense advice."

Today's stock market is not for the faint-hearted. At a time when high-frequency traders and hedge funds seem to have the upper hand, one might ask what the average investor is to do. Turn to the rock-solid advice in Burton G. Malkiel's best-selling guide to investing. A Random Walk Down Wall Street now features new material on exchange traded funds and investment opportunities in emerging markets as well as a brand-new chapter on "smart beta" funds. And as always, Malkiel's core insights-on stocks, bonds and money markets as well as property investment trusts and tangible assets-along with the book's life-cycle guide to investing, will restore confidence and composure to anyone seeking a calm route through today's financial markets.
