Summary: Stop Right There
Comment: This book has a lot of interesting information however, the theory behind it, that nobody can beat the stock market except for "business people", because stocks are efficiently priced is a bit absurd. Every day I receive a fax touting one pink sheet stock or the other. I have, out of curiosity looked into some of these company's and found that they often have little or no assets and are mainly shell corporations. The point is that because of the constant touting there stockprice almost always rise significantly and than plummets. This "pump and dump" form of market inefficiency extends to much larger securities (e.g. .Com bubble) as well. It is difficult to argue that since stockprices are determined by people who aren't always rational, that value of a security is at any random point in time rationally priced.
The argument that managed funds (after fee's) underperform index funds is a truism just as much as stocks will outperform bonds over the long term is. Stocks outperform bonds because a company's wouldn't borrow money unless they could reinvest that money at a higher rate. Similarly, Mutual Funds, in aggregate, since they own so many securities become in effect almost the same as index funds except they charge higher fee's. If your really interested in learning more about proper portfolio allocation read The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

Summary: None of The Wall Street Reforms or Tax Cuts Have Been Aimed
Comment: at average investors. So don't wait for the "magic" to happen. Get educated about investing. This is certainly one of my top 10... Smart investors make their own magic, one step at a time...
