Summary: Another winner for the "Little Book, Big Profits" series
Comment: This is the latest book in the "Little Books, Big Profits" series and was timed just right. All the books before it teach you how to invest, and this book teaches you how to keep what you've invested.
David Darst is a good writer. He kept my attention and I wasn't bored. I read the entire book one Saturday night.
The true value of this book is in reading the entire series. They all make up a sound investing education. All of the books in the series are good; some better than others, but are all written by financial masters. Take a piece from one and apply it to another and you have a winning formula.
Overall, this book is definitely worth three or four hours on a Saturday night. But, get the other books in the series too. Each present a view that the other doesn't.

Summary: Save your $ - don't buy this book
Comment: Mr. Darst must have had all of his buddies write in with 5-star reviews. I bought this book based on the subject and reviews, but it didn't meet my expectations. The title and description imply he will share HOW to balance your portfolio to weather the market ups and downs. His magic solution...allocate your investment $ to various asset classes which have a low correlation to each other (i.e. don't respond similarly to interest rates and economic conditions). How much to allocate to what classes depends on your goals and situation. DUHH! Rather than following through with real examples of asset allocation strategies which have worked for real people, he leaves you in the dark and tells you to hire a financial advisor.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Little Book you must have.
Comment: David Darst has successfully managed to write a book that is informative and an easy read . Whether you are a novice investor or an experienced advisor " The Little Book That Saves Your Assets " should be on your desk at all times !
Customer Rating:
Summary: Save your money
Comment: This book is one step short of basic. Total waste. Unless you are into similes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great book
Comment: As the book explains, asset allocation is tremendously important for long term returns. Most individual investors should be spending time figuring out asset allocation rather than worrying about picking stocks. This book shows you how to do it.
