Book Reviews of Bonds: The Unbeaten Path to Secure Investment Growth
Book Review: An invaluable book for any careful investor
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book on investing anywhere. For the past two years I have searched long and hard for a book that would give practical advice to a conservative investor--that is, one who does not want to lose money but rather wants to earn a predictable return on investments. Having read dozens of books on investing, including many of the most highly touted, I have concluded that Bonds: The Unbeaten Path to Secure Investment Growth is the best thing out there. Most of my savings and investments are in an employer plan, and thus are in funds of one sort or another, leaving little opportunity to invest directly in the type of bonds that the Richelsons discuss here. However, what has been invaluable to me is (1) their philosophy of investing and, having digested that, (2) their recommendations for the type of funds in which to invest, recommendations that can be found on page 315. That one page of recommendations, when supplemented by the Richelson's carefully laid out philosopy, is worth many times the price of the book. Since studying and applying the Richelsons' approach, I have had a year of strong returns and a year of sleeping well. To the critics of the book, I would respectfully recommend that you re-read it and then answer the question, over the past year have I had positive returns on my investments and have I slept well? If the answer is "no" to either of those questions, read this book again.
