beta, delta—and are seduced by what Jane Bryant Quinn calls the “investment pornography” of Wall Street. Confused (and sometimes afraid), most of us end up paying too much for what amounts to mediocre advice.

Using this book, you can cut through the fog of false promises to uncover simple, low-cost strategies that will beat the majority of professional investors.
