Rational Investing
in Irrational Times


By Larry Swedroe

  • Publisher: St. Martin's Press; First Edition (June 17, 2002)

Using a question-and-answer format, Larry Swedroe identifies many mistakes even the smartest investors make. He attributes almost all current errors and losses to investors' human vulnerability (a tendency to stray from proven investment principles), a lack of investing experience, faulty investment strategies or errors of portfolio development.

Larry shows how investment performance can be greatly improved by building a globally diversified portfolio of passive funds consisting of multiple asset classes.

Review

"Whether readers have a few thousand dollars or many millions to invest, they can learn — and likely recognize some of their own foibles — from the common investor mistakes outlined in Rational Investing in Irrational Times, and they can profit from Swedroe's suggestions on how to apply solid principles to the practical business of investing."

— John Biggs, former chairman and CEO, TIAA-CREF
