The Wall Street Self-defense Manual

With pensions disappearing and Social Security under threat, smart investing is more crucial than ever. But the constant bombardment of information—glossy ads, talking heads, and endless numbers, predictions, and advice—is at best overwhelming, and at worst misleading. In The Wall Street Self-Defense Manual, Henry Blodget tells you what you actually need to know to invest more intelligently—about the market, investment advisors, mutual funds, hedge funds, stock research, the financial media, and yourself. A former top-ranked Wall Street analyst, Blodget also offers a simple strategy that will help you ignore common but lousy advice and earn a superior long-term return.
