Reviews:
“In a world of hype, where hundreds of books promise to make you rich, The Little Book of Safe Money is a wonderful antidote. Jason Zweig presents accessible, commonsense advice that tells investors how to achieve moderate returns while avoiding all-too-tempting mistakes.”
Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street
“Fun, fast, factual — and so wise. No wonder so many enjoy reading Jason Zweig.”
Charles D. Ellis, author of Winning the Loser’s Game
“There are two parts to investing. One part seeks gains. The other part—too often overlooked—protects your standard of living when markets go bad. Jason Zweig brilliantly focuses on ‘protection,’ not only in bond investing but in stocks, as well. He names, and knocks, the products designed to part you with your money, while steering you toward the kinds of low-cost, low-risk investments that, historically, have come out ahead.”
Jane Bryant Quinn, financial columnist and author of Smart and Simple Financial Strategies for Busy People.
“Moses descended from the mountain with ten commandments. Zweig brings us only three. But Moses wandered for forty years before he got to the point. Zweig gets to it fast and will guide you to your investment oasis.”
Meir Statman, Glenn Klimek Professor of Finance, Santa Clara University
“When it comes to protecting your money—and your sanity—no one has the goods like Jason Zweig. If he wrote it, I’ll read it. And you should, too. “
Jean Chatzky, financial editor, NBC Today show and author of Money 911
“Jason Zweig shows investors how to pursue their financial goals and avoid financial disaster. Read this book now and read it again before making every major investment decision.”
Terrance Odean, Rudd Family Foundation Professor of Finance, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley
“I’ve been a financial planner for over 30 years and there is not one client I’ve worked with who would not profit from reading and heading the advice in The Little Book of Safe Money.”
Harold Evensky, President, Evensky & Katz
