The Bear-Proof Investor: Prospering Safely in Any Market

Financial journalist John F. Wasik (The Late-Start Investor; Retire Early and Live the Life You Want Now) offers down-to-earth advice for those ""seeking the middle road between the stratospheric highs and catastrophic lows"" in The Bear-Proof Investor: Prospering Safely in Any Market. Wasik admits that he has no wizardry for profiting in a bad market, just tips for balancing one's portfolio and choosing the kinds of stocks that weather downturns. He finds ""teachable moments"" in the common mistakes made by novices (like holding on to loser stocks too long, or buying rapidly rising, overvalued stocks) as well as his own past blunders. (Apr. 2)
