I read this book to try to get a perspective on what is happening with the economic crash - my 401-K has taken a nose dive. However, the book was written in the earlier part of the crash, so it doesn't capture the dire situation of the stock market as much as it could if it had been written a year later. But the advice seems good & on target for the long term. Who knows what will happen in the market, but this book had some good food for thought for those who like to think about such things.
