Required reading for investors
As someone with no background in investment, I was a littled worried that this book would be over my head.
Practical, levelheaded strategies and advice that obviously come from experience. Not full of polemics like many investment books…every paragraph adds to the reader’s understanding toward direct application. You could read many of the popular investment books and never run into the techniques she presents which are an essential part of any portfolio manager’s arsenal. While the book’s title might seem to be for fearful investors, the book is actually focused on returns, and the techniques should allow an investor to make more aggressive moves in line with their goals when one has some control over the risks, through hedging, negative correlations within the portfolio, appropriate investment vehicles, and using options for controlled profit-taking and safer entries and exits even when entering into more volatile positions for which the risk could otherwise be prohibitive.

Great Book on Intermediate Investing
This book is different from many other books on investing. I have seen a lot of books which cover basic terminology but don’tgive many ideas on strategy.

Perfect Timing for Safer Investing!
Just in time, the perfect book to make staying in the market less nerve-wracking during these uncertain times.
This book provides answers for investors who suspect that there must be something beyond the simplistic “buy and hold” and “asset allocation” advice widely quoted to investors today. The author is a broker and certified financial planner. She gives practical explanations of defensive strategies such as hedging and stop-loss orders, as well as active investing strategies such as sector rotation. The author is very frank in detailing why there is no perfect investment strategy. There is either a risk, or up-front cost, associated with each strategy presented and the author spells these out. This book is head-and-shoulders above the popular literature offered by such writers as Ric Edelman and Suzie Orman. Highly recommended.
