review 1: This book is a good introduction to asset allocation. It contains many examples and detailed numbers about correlation and past performance of many asset classes. I read this book after The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing and it really helped me feel confident about my asset allocation strategy. This is the perfect book if you want an in depth, but approachable analysis of the different asset classes available to the retail investor.
review 2: I've read many books on investing and this is the book I would recommend that a new investor read before any others. It may be the only book on the subject they will ever need. The author does a great job of de-mystifying "modern portfolio theory" and providing practical advice on how to apply the research knowledge as a... moren individual investor. His explanation of the technical support for allocation of investment dollars by specific asset classes is the best I've found. It won't satisfy someone who wants to dabble in technical analysis or an active management style, but still provides valuable information that must, in my opinion, form the backbone of any investment strategy. less
