Publisher's summary

The best investment guide money can buy, with more than 1.5 million copies sold, now fully revised and updated.

Today's stock market is not for the faint of heart. At a time of frightening volatility, what is the average investor to do? The answer: Turn to Burton G. Malkiel's advice in his reassuring, authoritative, gimmick-free, and perennially best-selling guide to investing. Long established as the first book to purchase before starting a portfolio or 401(k), A Random Walk Down Wall Street now features new material on "tax-loss harvesting", the crown jewel of tax management; the current bitcoin bubble; and automated investment advisers; as well as a brand-new chapter on factor investing and risk parity.

And as always, Malkiel's core insights - on stocks and bonds, as well as real estate investment trusts, home ownership, and tangible assets like gold and collectibles - along with the book's classic life-cycle guide to investing, will help restore confidence and composure to anyone seeking a calm route through today's financial markets.

Classic and must-listen

Malkiel, a front-runner of index investing, distils the best and latest understanding of investing practice. Fantastic rendition by Guidall. Possibly not for the complete beginner but the best place to come after getting mixed up trying to follow stock tips or get-rich-quick advice.

Great book, but reader is mumbling

Great book. Unfortunately the reader is mumbling and has a very unclear pronounciation. Still highly recommended for Any investor.

Timeless book with a great performance.

Investing is simple and easy, we as people screw it up. If you listen to or read this book and head its advice you will have a much happier investment career and retirement than if you do not.

Absolutely a Classic on Investment

If you will read only one book on investing, this should be it. Subsequent editions have absolutely kept it current.
I am a retired attorney and banker, but I learned a great deal. Both the content and the approach were fabulous.
I highly recommend this book.
