FYI: Burton Malkiel, the Princeton economics professor who 41 years ago helped popularize indexing with his tome “A Random Walk Down Wall Street,” is updating the classic this year, in part to reflect the growing importance of exchange-traded funds to indexing and to investing in general.
“ETFs certainly figure much more prominently in this 11th edition,” Malkiel told ETF.com in a recent telephone interview. “In the appendix of earlier editions of ‘A Random Walk,’ I had the ‘Random Walkers Address Book,’ which had mutual fund addresses, and what 800-number you would call. And now that address book is full of not only mutual funds, but ETFs.”
