One of the Best Investment Books on Index Investing

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

This author writes in a straight forward easy to comprehend style and makes a very compelling case as to why Passive Index Investing using low cost index funds from Vanguard or Schwab that include diversifying using different asset classes such as Total US Market, Large Cap, Small Cap, Europe, REITS, Pacific, Short Duration Bonds, Emerging Markets, etc. and re-balancing once or twice a year is for the vast majority of retail investors is the only sure way to most closely match the market benchmarks such as the S&P 500. I just wish I would have become familiar with this strategy 25 years ago. You can use this strategy by purchasing either Index Funds such as ETF's in your non- retirement account and Index Fund Mutual Funds in your retirement accounts. Begin by determining your risk profile such as 40% Bonds and 60% stocks, diversify using the asset classes, buy and hold, and re-balance. This author is a terrific writer and his series of books - the Smartest... are all very noteworthy.

Every new and experienced investor should read this book. It is a real eye-opener. You will learn that even the professional money managers are unable to consistently pick winning stocks and time the market. So if they can not successfully match or beat the market benchmarks, how in the world can a retail investor? That is why purchasing low cost Index ETF or Mutual Funds are the best way to manage risk and diversify by purchasing the entire market within each asset class. You must read this book and his previous book "The Smartest Investment Book You'll Ever Read!

A terrific web site that I used to further educate myself on Index Investing is the website for Index Fund Advisors located in Newport Beach, CA which will manage your portfolio for you using the Index Fund strategy discussed in this book. IFA manages a portfolio of over 1.8 Billion dollars. Take a look at their website, it is very detailed and quite impressive.

I purchased this book used in hardback from an Amazon re-seller at 60% the suggested price of the book!

A few years ago I read Solin's The Smartest Investment Book You'll Ever Read. It was an easy read with extraordinarily good charts and graphs. I already had some experience investing along very similar lines using Vanguard, and this book really encouraged me to keep going in this direction. Soon after reading the book I took on the responsibility of managing my elderly parents' finances. The Solin book was the core of the strategy, and provided a convenient tool for me to communicate with the family.

Recently I bought his new book, The Smartest Portfolio You'll Ever Own. It adds some fresh dimensions to the content in the other book and I am currently adjusting my portfolios accordingly. I have a website where I will soon add a section on Personal Finance. I will definitely encourage visitors to my site to purchase this latest book.

Great book. Well worth the read!

For Every Investor

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2015

This is book is essential for all mutual fund investors. Especially for those just out of college. Easy to read, easy to understand and easy to classify as one of the best ever books for those that want to avoid the high fees charged by the financial services industry. His recommendation for an :"index fund portfolio" works. After investing on my own for over 35 years, I discovered what I had been doing is exactly what Dan Solin was recommending is exactly what I had been doing for years. In fact, this is but one of his really well written books on investing and personal finance.

Great, readable advice

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2013

This guy is terrific. Each chapter is 3-4 pages long and focuses on a single point which is emphasized in bold-faced typed at the end. Solin's work is grounded in extremely well-seleted details and evidence without ever becoming bogged down the way some books on investment do. The book also contains a glossary with clear definitions of all those aracane terms you thought you'd never understand.

The book adhere's to John Bogle's philosophy of investing in index funds with low to no management fees. Clear and convincing explanations on all of the author's points. This philosophy has served me well for several years. I couldn't recommend the book and it's investment methods more.

The Smartest Portfolio You'll Ever Own

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

It's a very good book to get you started with investments. It teaches the value of diversification and asset allocation which is 95% of your returns. The media and Wall Street want to confuse investors and make them think they can stock pick and market time, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Investing for the long term and staying invested is the only way to go. The only thing to add is rebalancing. You have to keep your risk levels in check. That in essence is buying low and selling high.

One trick pony

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

Want to know what's in this book? In brief, the author explains that individual investors should not buy individual stocks, but should buy index funds or efts with low fees.

As an "investor" who put a huge hunk of her retirement in Citibank, I do occur with the author. Had I put it all in low cost mutual funds, my portfolio would look much, much better.

Still, it takes rather a lot of reading to get to that point.

Hope I saved you some time....

An easy read with lots of very short chapters and a summary message at the end of each chapter. The message is the same as other books, but is focussed on the US. Much less useful for Canadian investors. I would not buy it again for that reason.
