Synopsis

In a time of increasing inequality, when high-frequency traders and hedge-fund managers seem to tower over the average investor, Burton G. Malkiel's classic and gimmick-free investment guide is now more necessary than ever. Rather than tricks, what you'll find here is a time-tested and thoroughly research-based strategy for your portfolio. Whether you're considering your first 401k contribution or contemplating retirement, this fully-updated edition of A Random Walk Down Wall Street should be the first book on your reading list.

In A Random Walk Down Wall Street you'll learn the basic terminology of "the Street" and how to navigate it with the help of a user-friendly, long-range investment strategy that really works. Drawing on his own varied experience as an economist, financial adviser, and successful investor, Malkiel shows why an individual who buys over time and holds a low-cost, internationally diversified index of securities is still likely to exceed the performance of portfolios carefully picked by professionals using sophisticated analytical techniques. In this new edition, Malkiel provides a brand-new section on the recent bubble in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, as well as valuable new material on "tax-loss harvesting"--the crown jewel of tax management. He also presents a critical analysis of two recently popular investment-management techniques: factor investing and risk parity.

On top of all this, the book's classic lifecycle guide to investing, which tailors strategies to investors of any age, will help you plan confidently for the future. You'll learn how to analyze the potential returns, not only for basic stocks and bonds but for the full range of investment opportunities--from money market accounts and real estate investment trusts to insurance, home ownership, and tangible assets like gold and collectibles. Individual investors of every level of experience and risk tolerance will find throughout the book the critical facts and step-by-step guidance they need to protect and grow their hard-earned dollars.

Synopsis

Whether you're considering your first 401k contribution, contemplating retirement, or anywhere in between, A Random Walk Down Wall Street is the best investment guide money can buy. In this new edition, Burton G. Malkiel shares authoritative insights spanning the full range of investment opportunities--including valuable new material on cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, and "tax-loss harvesting"--to help you chart a calm course through the turbulent waters of today's financial markets.

Doug Korty , September 29, 2021 (view all comments by Doug Korty)
This book is considered the gold standard by many people and it is a great book in many ways. However, its main claim to fame is that it destroys the two main methods used by many stock "experts", fundamental and technical analysis. Both of these methods have been discredited many times by many people, Malkiel is just one of many, his attack may be excellent but it isn't really necessary. The problem with the book is that he doesn't mention a method that does work, regression analysis. If you look at the records of investment managers, a significant percentage of them have done well in timing the market in the 1984-2008 period. The most likely explanation for that is that they used regression analysis because nothing else would have worked. (Regression hasn't worked since 2008 because interest rates and inflation have been artificially controlled.) Malkiel doesn't know anything about it and doesn't think it is worth knowing about. His loss and the loss of his readers. He has made a small fortune with this book and its numerous editions but that is just one example of what is wrong with our investment industry.
