Terrible waste of time and money
This book is hardly worth reviewing. I didn't find anything of value in it. It reads more like a promotional brochure for a product than a serious investment guide.

Insightful analysis into managing portfolio risk
There's two ways investors can learn more about managing risk - the first is the hard way, i.e., watching your 401k fall precipitously or the second and more preferable option is to read RiskGrade Your Investments. This book offers insightful analysis into managing your portfolio's risk. Unfortunately in my case, it took painful market losses before I realized the importance of maintaining a diversified portfolio, and an asset allocation plan that mirrors my tolerance for risk. After reading this book and visiting the RiskGrades website, I've made the necessary changes in portfolio and feel more confident as an investor. My only complaint is that I didn't read the book sooner.

Refreshing
At long last, a book that provides investors with a common sense approach toward assuming market risk. Rather than providing readers with yet another list of the "Greatest Mutual Funds for the 21st Century", RiskGrade Your Investments explains in detail the basis for growing assets over time with eye on risk. My one complaint...I wish I knew more about RiskGrades before the market plunge. At least now, I now how to better identify risk and measure diversification. Thanks. This time I fell like I may at least have the skills to hold onto gains.
