      Wise Investing Made Simple by Larry Swedroe

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Investing is chock full of myths and incorrect perceptions, wrapped up in an awful lot of hype. Ignore all of that. If you genuinely want to make money, become a passive investor. Put your investment capital into index or mutual funds which reflect the value of the entire stock market. This is the only winning investment strategy there is.

      The way smart money invests today is by building a globally diversified portfolio of passively managed funds (i.e index funds [including exchange-traded funds] and passive asset class funds) and staying the course, ignoring the noise of the market and the investment propaganda put out by Wall Street and the financial media. Wall Street and the financial media want to keep alive the myth that active investing is the winning strategy. Thus, they fight extremely hard to keep the myths and legends about investing alive. My goal is to kill the legends by exposing them as myths.
