The Smartest Investment Book You'll Ever Read

The Simple, Stress-Free Way to Reach You

By: Dan Solin

Narrated by: Craig Wollman

This book will change the way you invest. . .and it's about time!

If your main concern is getting the most out of your money without sacrificing financial security, Dan Solin tells you how to take control of your finances and end up in the top 5% of all professionally managed money.

Solin provides a clear, simple, easy-to-follow road map that will show you exactly how your assets should be invested, using trusted, brand-name funds. He explains how to assess risk and how to allocate assets so that your portfolio is tailored precisely for you.

Most important, Solin's four-step plan will give you a portfolio that consistently outperforms the professionals (without the fees and without the worry.)

You can avoid the biggest mistakes most investors make:

• Falling for ""dumb money"" solutions that give your hard-earned cash over to hyperactive brokers and investment advisors.
• Buying into the hype that stock picking and market timing are anything but a fool's errand.
• Giving too much credence to the media and self-styled gurus who peddle ""financial pornography.""

Best of all, the vast majority of investors can implement Solin's plan in ninety minutes or less per year, without any broker or adviser.

short and to the point!

after listening to a lot of investment books this one pretty much sums it up. talks about market returns and asset allocation.

great investment advice- but no website

the information in this audiobook was extremely good in its day, but in 2022 is a little bit dated. the website referred to in the book is no more, but the information it references in the website is readily available from other sources. it's a great investment book. highly recommended.

Too simple

Who will assume responsibility if the plan fails. It generalizes negatively against financial advisors, many if whim have their client’s best interest as a priority.

Masterful

Excellent on all counts. Grateful to this author. I feel empowered as a personal
Investor now. One of my favorite finance books ever.

Good, slightly infomercially

I'm a newcomer to investing and especially to investment books. But the little stock market investing I've done has been lackluster, and Solin's book offers some compelling evidence why. I'd recommend getting a print or ebook copy, as there are some numbers and symbols that would be easier to take in visually.

Still, overall the book is quite interesting, informative and an easy listen. I'd definitely recommend it, except that it'll take me some time to put this information to the test!

The reader is just a little over emphatic at times, but generally decent. There are some puzzling repeat references to Vanguard, which make me wonder if Solin is really just selling Vanguard with this book. However he adds in other examples too in the "nuts and bolts" of part 4.

Also -- the audiobook gives an incorrect URL for the Asset Allocation Questionnaire on the author's website. The correct URL for the site is http://www.smartestinvestmentbook.com.
