Winning the Loser's Game: Timeless Strategies for Successful Investing

Rating:
Summary: Too much fluff, but a solid point
Review: This seems to be a book made out of an old but important magazine article. The target audience shifts between chapters, pages are left blank and unnecessary space is spent on charts. However, a useful analogy and deflating historical analysis make the point cleanly that passive investing in stock/bond funds is preferable to active mutual funds. And don't be tempted by picking stocks yourself.

Better values in the "passive" school of investing lie elsewhere, such as in Malkiel's "random walk" book.
