The Elements of Investing

Praise for THE ELEMENTS OF INVESTINGA common misperception is that successful investing requires a ton of money, a complicated portfolio, or a detailed understanding of where the markets are headed next. The truth is, sometimes the simplest approach is the toughest to beat. Charley Ellis and Burt Malkiel do a masterful job in The Elements of Investing of laying out clear, simple rules that any investor can follow to grow their wealth over time. -TIM BUCKLEY, Vanguard Chairman & CEOThese noted authors have distilled all you need to know about investing into a very small package. The best time to read this book is when you turn eighteen (or maybe thirteen) and every year thereafter. -HARRY MARKOWITZ, Nobel Laureate in Economics 1990Struggling to find money to save? Befuddled by the bewildering array of investment choices?
