Confident Investing: Why Blind Trust is a Poor Strategy

"When it comes to personal finance, what you don’t know can hurt you. Paul Winkler has successfully set out to fix that. The only mystery is why someone didn’t write this book a long time ago."

—CHARLIE WHEELAN, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer and Policy Fellow Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth University. correspondent for The Economist, Author of Naked Economic, The Centrist Manifesto, 10 1⁄2 Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said, Naked Statistics, Introduction to Public Policy

“Paul Winkler has written a refreshing, interesting, and educational new book that lays the foundation for developing and maintaining an investment portfolio to meet your own personal goals. Because developing and maintaining such a portfolio is not easy and will require a great deal of behavioral discipline on your part over the years, it is important to follow Paul’s advice to do this by working with a qualified financial coach and using the process map he provides in the book rather than trying to do it by yourself.”
—R.Lyman Ott, Ph.D Statistics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Senior Vice President Business Process Improvement and Biometrics, Merrell-National laboratories
