立下尤利西斯之約，投資路上不再做蠢事！★下定決心不選股、不擇時，為什麼看到「飆股」還是心癢癢？★「分散投資、持續買進」這些道理我都懂，但「穩賺」的誘惑實在太強烈。★一心想著靠「被動收入」財富自由，卻常常腦衝「主動賠錢」。★看新聞、聽解盤、讀財報……我到底要信誰？尤利西斯是古希臘史詩《奧德賽》的主角，在行經海妖棲息的海域時，為了避免水手們被海妖動人的歌聲迷得神魂顛倒，導致船隻觸礁沉沒，便下令船員用蠟封住耳朵，並將自己綁在桅桿上。作者麥可．坎普曾擔任交易員、投資分析師、澳洲小麥局負債管理經理，他用這個故事闡述指數化投資的概念，雖然方法非常簡單：持續買進並持有（buy and hold）。但為什麼如此有效、容易複製的方法，卻有很多人做不到？因為，大多數人都沒考慮到自己的人格特質（這會在投資上出現弱點）；以及聽信了市場上的「迷魂曲」，使你掉進投資陷阱。★「買進並持有」最大的敵人：投資迷魂曲追高殺低：你認為500元的台積電太貴了！但漲到600元卻跟風無腦買。結果股價回檔到400元時忍不住賣出，賠了超過30%。高股息：你買了投資網紅推薦的高股息ETF，往年績效殖利率8%以上！後來股價下跌20%。雖然賺了一點股息，但賠了本金。技術分析：你相信可以預測股市走向，用三條線找出飆股。明明看同一張圖，為什麼專家賺錢我賠錢？當沖：你聽說當沖可以無本交易，當少年股神。一回過神來，帳戶違約交割……頂樓的風好大。這些迷人的投資關鍵字，實際上是致命圈套，會使你拋棄紀律（還有賠錢）。★「我能打敗大盤」──對多數人來說，這是幻覺厲害的投資人、交易者如何取得優勢？重點是資訊。巴菲特發展出一個方法：在隨機的股市找到一點點一致性。普通投資人該怎麼做？先別想著當股神，你得掌握速度和程序。★投資界唯一的真理，仔細聽好了……就算開盤震盪、收盤重挫，你的人生也不必跟著起落。作者連續投資股市36年，從1987年的黑色星期一到2020年新冠肺炎，歷經多次重挫，仍能堅持紀律，持續在股海航行。為什麼？因為投資股市就是這麼一回事。股市會上漲，會下跌。保持信心，長期下來報酬會很可觀。（他長期持有的「澳股綜合指數」漲幅已達21倍。）想躺著跑贏通膨、輕鬆享受複利成果，不能只靠聰明才智；其中最重要的人格特質，是紀律、一致與耐心。這是一本所有投資人的必讀之作。幫你關掉環繞股市投資的噪音與炒作，發展出一套明智、長期且防呆的投資計畫。

Homer's Odyssey is the Ancient Greek tale of Odysseus and his eventful voyage home after the Trojan War. His many adventures on his 10-year journey are the subject of this famous prose translation by
The first great adventure story in the Western canon, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage, family and identity; and about travellers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world.This vivid new translation matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer's sprightly pace. Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and an iambic pentameter to produce a translation with an enchanting "rhythm and rumble" that avoids proclaiming its own grandeur. An engrossing tale told in a compelling new voice that allows contemporary readers to luxuriate in Homer's descriptions and similes and to thrill at the tension and excitement of its hero's adventures, Wilson recaptures what is "epic" about this wellspring of world literature.
