And Then the Tempest

A must read for those worried about today's stock market... An irreverent academic treatment intended to be informational and also a teaching tool, this book is an investment guide for the turbulent times ahead.

Aggressive investors are not left out. The aggressive strategy discussed in the last chapter may be deemed by many as game changing and revolutionary.
