[close] A unique and timely new wealth-building strategy from a legendary investment guru

When the dot-com bubble burst, many investors assumed that it was just another temporary setback for the mighty S&P 500, which had just enjoyed its best twenty-year real rate of return in over a century.

But James P. O'Shaughnessy, the bestselling author of What Works on Wall Street and How to Retire Rich, doesn't trust assumptions; he does rigorous analysis.
