With the value of the dollar sinking, bond yields drying up, giant investment banks collapsing, and stock markets crumbling, how can you ensure that your money will stay safe? By becoming better acquainted with the markets, the “professionals” who populate the field of finance, and most importantly, yourself. While this may sound like simple advice, author Jason Zweig-the investing and personal finance columnist for the Wall Street Journal-knows how difficult this endeavor can be. But as a trusted voice in the financial community, he has helped thousands of investors achieve this goal, and now, with The Little Book of Safe Money, he wants to help you do the same. This is the perfect guide for those trying to make their way through today's tough markets. He covers everything from investing behavior and why our minds come with their own set of biases that often prove harmful to the use of financial advisors, and goes one step further than the rest by questioning an investor's true appetite for risk. Zweig also debunks many of the myths that whirl around Wall Street with chapters like “Hedge-Fund Hooey.” This timely audio book: • Outlines strategies for satisfying our ever-changing investment appetites while focusing on a long-term financial plan • Discusses both the external and internal forces that can hurt our investment performance-and how you can better deal with them • Offers practical guidance, tools, and tips for surviving and thriving in a down market • And much more In a straightforward and accessible style, Zweig peels away layer after layer of buzz words, emotion, and myths to reveal what's really going on in today's financial markets and how you can thrive under even the most adverse conditions. If you're serious about succeeding in today's turbulent markets, then The Little Book of Safe Money is what you should be listening to.

Beware: Terrible image formatting of tables in the eBook version. Don't buy!

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Love Jason Zweig but hate the terrible image formatting of tables in the eBook version. The table labelled as Exhibit 2.2 is quite important to the book but the resolution is complete garbage! Tables in finance eBooks on Kindle have always been low quality but this one is a new low. You cannot read it with any level of zoom without getting a headache. I cannot believe that Amazon has such low quality control on its eBooks and allows sale of such content! Very disappointed.

Jason Zweig is the best financial writer I know of (maybe along with Warren Buffett), and the reader benefits from his insight, pithy and entertaining way of putting things, and his vast knowledge not only of the financial world but also of human behavior quirks which can derail investors. Everything you need to know to keep your money safe while investing it is in this small volume.

Sound advice

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

The book is not for those who need an adreneline rush from their investments. As promised, Jason Zweig delivers sound suggestions for avoiding losses in the market, for avoiding excessive fees, and for keeping what you have earned and growing it. The book could have been entitled, "Get Rich Slowly." Not for high rollers or for those who need to cover large losses from currency bets gone bad, but J P Morgan probably wishes that the London Whale had followed Zweig's prescriptions.

An informative book.

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2009

Verified Purchase

As of November 2009, Jason Zweig's book is the latest in the Little Book Big Profits series of books, most of which are very informative and well written. This book is no exception. The first thing to recognize about the Little Book series is that, well, the books are little--perhaps only two-thirds the size of most books. If this book were published in a more normal size and line spacing format, it would probably run less than 150 pages, but that doesn't really detract from the value of the book.

Much of the book covers some common sense concepts, like (1) don't take unnecessary risks, (2) don't take risks without sufficient expected return to compensate for taking the risks involved, and (3) don't risk money that you can't afford to lose. Zweig refers to these concepts as "commandments," and comes back to them throughout the book. He does a better job, in my view, when he addresses somewhat less obvious concepts, such as the (sometimes neglected) value of liquidity and the value of one's "human capital." For example, if you have invested years in your own education to become a geologist, then it might make sense not to concentrate your financial capital investments in energy stocks (because if the energy industry falls on hard times, your investments could suffer and you could lose your job at the same time).

Zweig is at his best, in my opinion, when he addresses the supposedly "low risk and high return" investments that the financial industry regularly puts out. He also deserves credit for explaining (1) how some "guarantees" are not all they are cracked up to be, (2) the difference between yield and total return, (3) how the risks that stocks seem to represent and the risk that they actually represent are often inversely correlated (think about that for a minute), and (4) why leveraged ETFs (exchange traded funds) may behave differently than some investors expect. There are more, but you get the idea.

I liked Zweig's discussions of the risks involved in hard assets and emerging markets, and I thought he did a good job pointing out the various unconscious biases many investors have, such as "anchoring" and "framing" that behavioral finance warns us about. The discussion of "Mr. Market" (an invention of the legendary Benjamin Graham) was very good, and I liked Zweig's collection of red-flag phrases for investors--like "can't lose," "guaranteed" and some less obvious others.

This book is an easy read not only because it's short, but also because Zweig has an easy writing style. I doubt that it will plow a lot of new ground for sophisticated investors, but for the rest of us, it represents a worthwhile investment.

I am partway through this book and I already know that it is excellent and I highly recommend it. It is short, but packed with information. I have had trouble with the display of two of the Exhibits. They start to load with dark ink, but finish with light ink. With the light ink and small print they are difficult to read, especially Exhibit 2.2. I have tried zooming and they start to zoom and then revert to normal. Still, I am very pleased I purchased this book.

Probably OK if you live and work in the USA but for anyone else its SO totally focused on US related finance, regulations, tax and financial products that its basically useless for anyone located outside the USA.

Reviewed in India on September 4, 2017

This book is reasonably well structured and suitable for investors who are just starting out on their investment journey. Definitely not for seasoned investors.
If you are a connoisseur of fine investment books I would recommend William Worthington Fowler's "Revelations of the personal experiences of a speculator" written in 1880. It is available for free from the open library on google in PDF format.
