This week’s theme on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: Best Personal Finance Books To Read This Summer

Today’s book choice is: A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel

Who should read it: An investing classic, it’s a great book for those of you who are interested in learning the basic principles of investing and applying them to how you invest. The book 

Description (from Amazon): In a time of rampant misinformation about ways of growing your money, Burton G. Malkiel’s gimmick-free investment guide is more necessary than ever. Whether you’re considering your first 401k contribution or contemplating retirement, the fully updated, fiftieth anniversary edition of A Random Walk Down Wall Street remains the best investment guide money can buy.

Drawing on his experience as an economist, financial adviser, and successful investor, Malkiel shows why an individual who saves consistently over time and buys a diversified set of index funds can achieve above-average investment results. He addresses current investment fads and critically analyzes cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and meme stocks. Malkiel reveals how to be a tax smart investor and how to make sense of recently popular investment management techniques, including factor investing, risk parity, and ESG portfolios.

Investors of every age, experience level, and risk tolerance will find the step-by-step guidance they need to protect and grow their dollars.

Why I like it so much: Although I disagree with his diehard adherence to indexing as the best way to make money in the stock market - because it’s not actually true - the lessons in this book 

Pairs well with: The most complex and textbook-like book that I’m recommending this week, this book pairs best with water - definitely no alcohol to distract you or dull your sharp wits. 

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
