A timeless, easy-to-read guide on life-long investment
principles that can help any investor succeed
The Elements of Investing has a single-minded goal: to
teach the principles of investing in the same pared-to-bone manner
that Professor William Strunk Jr. once taught composition to
students at Harvard, using his classic little book, The Elements
of Style. With great daring, Ellis and Malkiel imagined their
own Little Red Schoolhouse course in investing for every investor
around the world-and then penned this book.
The Elements of Investing hacks away at all the
overtrading and over thinking so predominant in the hyperactive
thought patterns of the average investor. Malkiel and Ellis offer
investors a set of simple but powerful thoughts on how to challenge
Mr. Market at his own game, and win by not losing. All the
need-to-know rules and investment principles can be found here.
* Contains sound investment advice and simple principles of
investing from two of the most respected individuals in the
investment world
* Burton G. Malkiel is the bestselling author of A Random Walk
Down Wall Street and Charles D. Ellis is the bestselling author
of Winning the Loser’s Game
* Shows how to deal with an investor’s own worst enemies: fear
and greed
A disciplined approach to investing, complemented by conviction,
is all you need to succeed. This timely guide will help you develop
these skills and make the most of your time in today’s market.
