The "preference" of this book sets the scene. "Investors need to find their way past false information, exaggerated or misleading. They need to be knowledgeable, discriminating, sensitive to the risk of loss and sure of their goals through a well structured strategy."
The title is a little provocative and certainly drew my attention. This book systematically identifies and explains various topics such as "Wise to Wary," "Using Experts," "Asset Allocation," Building the Blocks,' "Reaping the Rewards," " An Eye on the Figures" and many more.
Our writer has covered many topics, although the do-it-yourself investor should be aware and pass on any pearls of wisdom, to hopefully enhance their knowledge to a level beyond the average investor.
Certainly a book that affects good value, and one that could fit well in any investor's library.
