Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Sounds like a good read- some excerpts from Charles' link:
• This book was designed to reduce mistakes. • Your mistakes with money. • Tiny errors, epic fails and everything in between. • You can do thousands of things right, but make just a few of the errors we discuss, and you destroy much of your portfolio. • If you could learn how to avoid the unforced errors investors make all the time, you would make your life so much richer and less stressful. • The counterintuitive truth is avoiding errors is much more important than scoring wins.
• We all make mistakes¹. The goal with this book is to help you make fewer of them, and to have the mistakes you do make be less expensive.
Note¹: Well, all of us but one, anyway. But no need to mention any names here.
I thought about the library, but decided that it would be a good reference book to have around. Hardcover, 496 pgs, at Amazon for $27. (Tell them that Charles sent you.)
