Introducing New Blog...Investment Intelligencer

Thanks for your interest in the Wall Street Self-Defense Manual.  This site contains more information about the book, including excerpts, the table of contents, and a welcome note.  It also contains links to other investing books and resources that I hope you'll find helpful.

I will continue to post additional book excerpts here for the next several months, and I will leave the site up indefinitely.  As of today, however, I am going to post additional market and investing commentary on a new site, Investment Intelligencer (www.investmentintelligencer.com).  Like the book, the site is designed for intelligent investors, and it will draw on smart ideas from academia, Wall Street, and the financial media.  It will pick up on many of the themes I discuss in the book, and it will also include analysis of some important fundamental issues.

Thanks again for visiting the site.  I hope you enjoy the Wall Street Self-Defense Manual, and I hope to see you over on Investment Intelligencer.

I thoroughly enjoyed Henry's book. Even though I know the story, and even though I've read this same song over and over again, I never tire of reading abut it. "Winning the Losers Game" got me started a few years ago. The biggest threat to my wellbeing is me. So true. Henry your present writings have such great credibility because the truth of your words are self evident.

Hi, Added a new value add to my blog this weekend - a news widget from www.widgetmate.com. I always wanted to show latest news for my keywords in my sidebar. It was very easy with this widget. Just a small copy paste and it was done. Great indeed.

    Showed that most investment performance has nothing to do with traditional "stockpicking."
  • KENNETH FRENCH

  • JEREMY GRANTHAM
    Manages $100-billion-plus at GMO. Always wise, often funny, occasionally wrong, never in doubt.
  • ANDREW SMITHERS
    Smart, independent strategist. His research costs arm and leg, but occasionally writes for masses (see "Newsroom"). Current view? We're screwed.
  • PAUL KASRIEL
    Northern Trust economist. Writes antidotes to typical "good times will keep rolling" pablum. Colleague Asha Bangalore smart, too.
  • MICHAEL MAUBOUSSIN
    Smart, cross-disciplinary thinker who doesn't waste time predicting future, making trading calls, or being mostly bullish. Identifies what smart investors do that others don't.
  • JOHN BOGLE
    Founder of Vanguard and true hero for small investors. Appalled by the billions the investment industry pays itself each year for subtracting value. Has arguably done more for small investors than anyone in history.
  • WARREN E. BUFFETT
    Of course, but note why: Few predictions, no market timing, no trading, no strategy drift, and favorite holding period of "forever." Also note how utterly different this is than frantic trading and predicting that usually passes for "smart investing."
  • JONATHAN CLEMENTS
    Columnist for WSJ ($). Continues to write about (boring) intelligent investing instead of sexier stock-picking, market-timing, etc., despite voluminous reader ridicule and hate mail.
  • BILL GROSS
    PIMCO bond king. Commanding knowledge of long-term economic and market fundamentals.
