Fun to read and filled with useful ideas
If I had a financial planner, I certainly wouldn't be using one after reading this book! I found something interesting on almost every page. It's a far cry from the dry advice offered by most books and articles on investing! Mr. Markman provides new insights into practical approaches to investing that avoids the pitfalls of traditional financial planners. He not only explains why the investment industry has led people astray, he has straightforward remedies. Plus, the book is never boring. I read it in a few hours. I'd recommend it for anyone who's dissatisfied with their investment results over the past few years.

A Breath Of Fresh Air
An enjoyable read, Markman skewers the prevailing wisdom in many areas. If you think you know what you should do about asset allocation, investing overseas, or snagging some small caps, Markman will set you straight with appropriate data and well-reasoned arguments. This is not a get-rich quick book, but packs more punch than anything I have read in the investment field lately.

Don't bother.
This book is useless. If you bought into Markman's scheme, you have been hurt...badly. Markman obliterated his investors (Markman Multi-funds) over the past 2 and 1/2 years and is merging all of his funds into one to bury his abysmal performance. This book is drivel and was written by Markman to market his money management business. Run, do not walk, away from this self-promoting fluff. Similar Products
