Martin S.Fridson – Investment Illusions

MARTIN S.FRIDSON – INVESTMENT ILLUSIONS

DESCRIPTION

The experts are talking about investments.

One of the best books on personal investing I have ever read. Fridson takes aim at the shibboleths, sacred cows, and snakeoil salesmen of the personal investing industry. Stuart C. Gilson is an assistant professor of business administration at Harvard University.

Investment Illusions presents a lot of good financial advice and a lot of financial history in an easy-to-read style. Harry M. Markowitz is the Marvin Speiser Professor of Finance and Economics.

Sometimes a book makes you think that you should have read it a long time ago. Investment Illusions is a book. The kind of book you pass on to a friend was what I found very entertaining.

Illusions can be illusory. Tony Kao is the Director of Investment Research at General GM Investment Management Corporation.
