The Informed Investor. A Hype Free Guide to Constructing a Sound Financial Portfolio

By Frank Armstrong III

This provides you with information to lead you to better investment decisions and more predictable returns, lower risk, and lower taxes. It states that without the benefit of solid portfolio tactics, investors become irrational, chasing after rainbows that promise high returns with a minimum of risk, and selling off stocks in a panic when the market is down.
