The Investor's Dilemma Decoded: Recognize Misinformation, Filter the Noise, and Reach Your Goals

Few aspects of life are as important as personal finance, as subject to your control, and as suffused with misinformation, noise, and confusion. Now, authors Dr. Roger D. Silk and Katherine A. Silk cut through that confusion and share with you the fruits of their knowledge and experience developed over the last forty-three years. Unlike many authors in the Personal Finance space, the Silks have the deep technical expertise, decades of experience, and the rare ability to express complex ideas in clear, easy-to-understand prose. The Investor's Dilemma Decoded gives you the tools that 99.9% of investors never master--these tools allow you to understand how to think about almost any category of investment, and almost any investment product or program. In addition, the authors take a deep dive into topics including What actually generates investment returns?; Is owning a home an investment?; Should you own gold?; What is a hedge, and are commodity funds an inflation hedge?; What many well-known investment personalities get wrong about returns; What risk is, and isn't, and why the "safe" course might be the riskiest (but the government says it's safe); and more.
