"A short book with lots of difficult vocabulary about investing that concentrates too much on institutional investors especially through the beginning of the book. Ellis highlights a few central themes at the beginning about risk, returns, and portfolios with similarities to the points of Bernstein and Malkiel, but he explains in doing so how your investment manager should be watched. Ellis notes investment managers who happen to do very well, should be doing so within the predetermined risk tolerance of the investment, otherwise they eventually will do very poorly. He reiterates this regression to the mean phenomenon, suggesting that one chooses competent stocks and investors that have recently done poorly like Bernstein. He appears to think very little of bonds, especially for those who are investing longer than 20 years, even noting people at retirement probably don't risk enough, and thoroughly shows how inflation has a profound affect on shrinking investments. Most of the knowledge is geared to more serious investors and profession investment management like college trusts, but there are enough interesting points to make it worthwhile, especially near the end of the book. Much of it agrees with the other index oriented books of Bernstein and Malkiel highlighted earlier."
"Makes a compelling argument for ditching expensive, fee-based, ineffectual actively-managed investments for low-cost market index-based mutual funds over a long-term investment horizon (20+ years.) Maybe a bit too "financial-ese" for some, but worth getting your head around."
