Book Review: The Smartest Investment Book You’ll Ever Read by Dan Solin
This book was a pretty easy read, though at times it felt like a rant and was redundant. On the positive side, he calls out that many investors are not being well served by their brokers or advisors. Many people, especially with very simple financial situations may be able to take care of their own investing needs. He rightly calls out so-called advisors who are actually sales people and who don’t work under the fiduciary standard, which requires working in their clients’ best interests. He sheds light on how hard it is to pick stocks or to time the market, and how much time and money is wasted in this endeavor.
