The million-copy bestseller, revised and updated with new investment strategies for retirement and the insights of behavioral finance. Updated with a new chapter that draws on behavioral finance, the field that studies the psychology of investment decisions, here is the best-selling, authoritative, and gimmick-free guide to investing.

This edition includes new strategies for rearranging your portfolio for retirement, along with the book’s classic life-cycle guide to investing, which matches the needs of investors in any age bracket. A Random Walk Down Wall Street long ago established itself as a must-read, the first book to purchase before starting a portfolio. So whether you want to brief yourself on the ways of the market before talking to a broker or follow Malkiel’s easy steps to managing your own portfolio, this book remains the best investing guide money can buy.

I'm an investment industry professional and was looking for a book to give to my college-age daughter who is interested in learning about investments. This was the first book that came to mind, and while I was at it, I bought a copy for myself, since I hadn't read the book in about 15 years.
It continues to be a classic. Well-written, with a nice combination of practical advice and a very accessible explanantion of the key theories.
A must-have in any investment library.

For those who don't have 4 years and lots of $$$ to get an undergraduate finance degree, this book is an excellent substitute. It is packed with the same academically sound investment advice that all the top business schools teach, it explains it all in an amazingly accessible and entertaining way, and is chock full of interesting and memorable examples --- some of which I will never ever forget! In short, it has to be the best popular investment book ever written.

Let's say you were afflicted with the unhealthy notion that you could correctly predict which investment vehicles would outperform the market. This book would be a reasonable component of your therapy regime. In this book (the 2007 edition) Malkiel basically shows why the broad market indices (S&P, Dow, Russell 3000, etc) generally outperform even professional stock market gamblers. Actually, he doesn't really show us why exactly. The author more accurately just tells us it's true and hopes we'll ... Read More
