Asset Allocation For Dummies

Overview

An easy-to-understand how-to guide to the single most important thing you can do in investing — choosing and mixing your assets successfully.

You don’t need to be an expert analyst, a star stock-picker, or a rocket scientist to have better investment results than most other investors. You just need to allocate your assets in the right way, and have the conviction to stick with that allocation.
