If you are an active investor, dabble in stocks, or even just interested about your future IRAs, then you need to read this eye opening book!  The author put a great deal of time and energy in this book to deliver a message; that the financial media is full of crap and hype and you better listen!  I used to believe that there was some predictability, within reason, to trading and investing but Joel reaffirms that only fools think they know the future.  He provides some critical, albeit, common sense advice that guys like me have not taken in past investments.  I won’t give any spoilers here but I think I had an epiphany at Chapter 14.  I’m a numbers guy and this book uses data, cold hard data, to prove his case…very much empirical which in the research world is called TRUTH!  I highly recommend this book to ANYONE interested in investing and the market.  His frankness and candor delivers the message directly to the gut!
