Unlike so many other investment books on the market, I have not given you some get-rich-quick secret formula. Instead, I gave you something of real value - a comprehensive, organized, and easy-to-understand overview of the stock market so that when you make an investment, you'll know what you're invested in, why, and what to expect. You will learn: the risks and rewards of investing in common stocks, the pros and cons of active, passive, and factor-based strategies, the pros and cons of investing in mutual funds and exchange traded funds, the ways to avoid market timing, the strategies used by investment managers to time the market, the role emotions play in investing, the role demographics, productivity, and the government play in long-term investing, and the importance of stock market indices and what they are telling you. And so much more.
