In the years I’ve been writing this blog, Ben Carlson is among the top few writers I’ve linked to most often (Jim Dahle and Christine Benz are probably competitors).
Ben recently released a new book, which I have just read: Risk and Reward: How to Handle Market Volatility and Build Long-Term Wealth. In short, it is excellent. This would be on my short list of books to recommend to a new investor, and I think it’s a fun read for any experienced investor who enjoys good investing writing.
This book provides an exercise in “…and now” stick with Planning” lessons, in a variety of ways: stories, history, and (as you’d expect from Ben’s blog) a whole bunch of great charts for anyone learning visuals.
