Rezensionen

Fully-referenced data, insider details,laser-focused statistical digressions, and the finer points ofpractical investing keep pages turning. Readers will value thepractical, easy-to-follow models of solid, transparent investmentstrategies and examples from Fisher's experiences as CEO of his owninvestment firm. Fisher also includes suggestions for furtherreading and appendices that reproduce previously-publishedcomparisons of different asset allocations, information for smallbusiness owners and short biographies of market-movers. Much morethan what to avoid, Fisher's concise guide should be highlyilluminating and confidence-building for anyone with a bankaccount. (Aug.) Starred review (PublishersWeekly, September 2009)
With five straightforward rules that would have saved any investorfrom Bernie Madoff, investment firm CEO and Forbes columnistFisher (100 Minds That Made the Market) gives readers asecure plan for fraud-proof investing, worthwhile for novices andsophisticated financiers alike. Using the example of everyman"Jim," a precarious investor navigating shark-filledwaters, Fisher presents a clear, fast-paced, tightly organizedguide to principles like "Too good to be true usuallyis," and "Due diligence is your job, no oneelse's."

Using well-known examples from recent headlines like BernardMadoff and R. Allen Stanford along with a bevy of historical scamartists, Fisher details the red flags that should alert investors.They are: advisers who have access to your money; promises ofreturns that are too good to be true; mumbo-jumbo that takes theplace of explaining investing strategy; fake benefits likeexclusivity, and relying on someone else for duediligence.
