Bedrock Investing Principles for Profiting in Today''s Shaky
Markets "If you''ve been wondering why you''ve had such a hard time
investing well, Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett will
diagnose your ills and treat them in this delightful short book."
-- William Bernstein, Author, A Splendid Exchange and The
Investor''s Manifesto "Follow the investment strategy advocated by
Larry Swedroe, and free yourself to spend your time on life''s
treasures--like your family and friends!" -- William Reichenstein,
Professor, Baylor University "As someone who teaches a college
investments course, I would not have thought it possible to do what
Swedroe has done in such a short concise book." -- Edward R. Wolfe,
Professor of Finance, Western Kentucky University "It''s amazing.
Larry Swedroe managed to pen a magnificent book not only chock full
of actionable advice but one that''s fun to read. Get a copy and
treat yourself to a better financial future." -- Harold Evensky,
President, Evensky Katz "Larry Swedroe is the undisputed
expert in helping investors manage portfolios the smart way. His
new book, Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett, combines all
facets of wealth management in an inspiring and powerful manner."
-- Bill Schultheis, Author, The New Coffeehouse Investor "This
book, which covers the whys and hows of successful investing, was
written for those investors who just can''t or won''t read a
300-page investing book. Swedroe''s set of 30 rules is an education
in itself. It''s a small book with a big message." -- Mel Lindauer,
Forbes.com columnist and co-author, The Bogleheads'' Guide to
Investing and The Bogleheads'' Guide to Retirement Planning "You
could not spend a more profitable hour than reading Larry Swedroe''s
wise and lucid hundred page investment guide." -- Burton G.
Malkiel, Author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street "Larry Swedroe is
the Mark Twain of the investment aphorism. This concise book builds
to a conclusion that features thirty of his pithy truths. My
favorites include: ''Never work with a commission-based advisor.''
''If it sounds too good to be true, it is.'' ''The more complex the
investment, the faster you should run away.''" -- Ed Tower,
Professor of Economics at Duke University "Larry''s book is about
how to be successful in investing and in life. But, who would
believe this involves understanding ''Big Rocks''? I now understand
their importance and so should you! -- John A. Haslem, Professor
Emeritus of Finance, University of Maryland, and author of Mutual
Funds "Larry Swedroe''s latest book shows you how to succeed at
investing with simple yet powerful guidance that''s backed by the
financial sciences. Add it to your ''must-read'' list." -- Steve
Vernon, author of Money for Life: Turn Your IRA and 401k Into a
Lifetime Retirement Paycheck "This book is a quick and thorough
read of the passive approach to investing in as few pages as
possible. As someone who teaches a college investments course that
deals extensively with this topic, I would not have thought it
possible to do what he has done in such a short concise book. Kudos
to Larry for continuing in his quest to educate investors and save
them as Larry says ''one investor at a time'' from a financial
services industry whose primary goal is largely to enrich
themselves." -- Edward R. Wolfe, Professor of Finance, Western
Kentucky University "Because common sense isn''t so common, thank
goodness Larry Swedroe provides his readers with this magnificent
book. With well-founded actionable advice, his readers can insure
that they enrich their lives not Wall Street''s bank accounts." --
Harold Evensky, President, Evensky Katz "Larry doesn''t tell
you how to do what Warren Buffett does as much as avoid what Warren
Buffett avoids, which turns out to be exceptionally important and
doable for any investor. He tells you to avoid a few things I would
tell you to embrace, like some hedged strategies, but that is
because Wall Street typically overcharges you for these, so even
here Larry is on the side of the angels. Every investor can benefit
immensely from this book." -- Cliff Asness, Founding and Managing
Principal, AQR Capital Management "Many investment books adopt an
adversarial tone--urging us to achieve success by somehow
outwitting the market. Larry Swedroe explains why following such a
strategy often diminishes our financial as well as our spiritual
wealth--and shows us how a holistic approach to money, markets, and
human behavior provides the most rewarding path to follow." --
Weston Wellington, Vice President, Dimensio About the Book: If you
wanted to create the next earth-shattering consumer product, Steve
Jobs would be an ideal role model to follow. If you planned to
become a great golfer, you might look to Arnold Palmer or Jack
Nicklaus. So, if your goals are to outperform other investors and
achieve your life''s financial goals, what should you do? Think,
act, and invest like the best investor out there: Warren Buffett.
While you can''t invest exactly like he does, Think, Act, and Invest
Like WarrenBuffett provides a solid, sensible investing approach
based on Buffett''s advice regarding investment strategies. When it
comes to investing, Director of Research for the BAM Alliance and
CBS News blogger Larry Swedroe has pretty much seen it all--and
he''s come to the conclusion that simple is better, that adopting
basic investing principles always increases an investor''s chance of
success, and that Buffett is an excellent model for such investing.
In Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett, Swedroe provides the
foundational knowledge you need to: Develop a financial plan to
help you make rational decisions on a consistent basis Determine
the level of risk that''s right for you, and allocate your assets
accordingly Build a low-cost, tax-efficient, globally diversified
portfolio Manage your portfolio by rebalancing periodically to
maintain proper risk levels The beauty of the Buffett approach is
its profound simplicity: follow the basics, keep your cool, and
have a sense of humor and humility. The market volatility of recent
years has ushered in armies of economists, forecasters, and other
so-called experts whose job it is to explain how everything works.
Somehow, they have managed to muddy the waters even more. The truth
is, investing is easier than you think--even in today''s economy.
"Complex problems can have simplesolutions," Swedroe writes. Think,
Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett helps you go back to the
basics--so you can leap in front of the investing pack.
