Book cover of A Random Walk Down Wall Street: The Time-Tested Strategy for Successful Investing

Milan Somborac Why did I love this book?

Malkiel’s highly readable book popularized the century-old notion that individual stock price movements are unpredictable, stating: “A blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper’s financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts.” To test Prof. Malkiel’s claim, the Wall Street Journal ran 142 overlapping six-month contests for a period of some 14 years using its journalists instead of monkeys to throw the darts. For 90 percent of the contests, the performance of the experts’ portfolios could not be distinguished from that of the dartboard portfolios!

Book cover of Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment

Milan Somborac Why did I love this book?

The greatly respected chief investment officer at Yale University for 36 years, David Swensen wrote: “Go back to basics. You can make money in stocks with a program of conservative investing through a successfully administered long-term portfolio. You should welcome the inevitable short-term declines by pursuing a “dollar cost averaging” strategy (investing the same number of dollars on the same exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 at the same time intervals). When you look at the results on an after-fee, after-tax basis, over reasonably long periods of time, there's almost no chance that you end up beating such a fund.” Swensen provides solid support for that claim throughout his book.

Why should I read it?

2 authors picked Unconventional Success as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

In UNCONVENTIONAL SUCCESS, investment legend David Swensen reveals why the for-profit mutual fund industry consistently fails the average investor, from its excessive management and incentive fees to the frequent 'churning' of portfolios that forces investors to pay higher taxes. Perhaps most destructive of all are flagrant schemes designed to thwart regulators and further erode portfolios, limiting investor choice and reducing returns. Swensen's solution? A 'contrarian' investment alternative that creates more diversified, equity-oriented, 'market-mimicking' portfolios that minimize loss and reward the investor with the courage to stay the course. Swensen backs up his unconventional proposal with well-documented evidence supporting not-for-profit investment…
