Praise for The Little Book Of Bulletproof Investing
"There's a wealth of common sense contained in this new entry into Wiley's popular Little Book series. It gets the essentials of successful investing right, and the authors' 'Tangent' portfolios present an interesting appraisal of historic returns. While I'm not at all sure that they (or anything else) are 'bulletproof,' enjoy the interesting and zippy read, and draw your own conclusions."
John C. Bogle, founder and former chief, The Vanguard Group
"Ben and Phil have pulled off a seemingly impossible feat: a concise, comprehensive financial guide that goes down like chocolate mousse. Many readers will laugh, some will cry, few will be able to put it down, and all will be better off for the experience, both financially and personally."
William Bernstein, investment advisor and author of The Investor's Manifesto and A Splendid Exchange
"Most investing books tell you all the tricks to get rich. They lie. Ben and Phil tell you there aren't any tricks, just some common sense that somehow eludes most people. They tell you not to let your own behavioral biases kill you. To stay diversified. To make small tilts in the direction of assets that other people's biases make them shun. And many more. Mostly, and this one is my piece of common sense, don't waste your money on tons of investing books, but buy this one."
Clifford Asness, Managing and Founding Principal, AQR Capital Management
"Ben and Phil have written a bunch of investment books, and I've read them all, but this one is their shortest AND their best. Stein and DeMuth have indeed found the Holy Grail of Investing. The chart on page 79 proves it. I salute them."
Mark Skousen, Editor, Forecasts & Strategies

About the authors
Ben Stein (Los Angeles, CA) is a respected economist who is known to many as a movie and television personality, but has worked more in personal and corporate finance than anywhere else. He has written about finance for Barron's, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Fortune; was one of the chief busters of the junk-bond frauds of the 1980s; has been a longtime critic of corporate executives' self-dealing; and has cowritten eight finance books. Stein travels the country speaking about finance in both serious and humorous ways, and is a regular contributor to CBS's Sunday Morning, CNN, and Fox News. He was the 2009 winner of the Malcolm Forbes Award for Excellence in Financial Journalism.
Phil DeMuth is an investment advisor. He was valedictorian of his class at the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1972, and then went on for his master's in communication and Ph.D. in clinical psychology before anyone could stop him. A psychologist and investment advisor, Phil has written for the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Forbes, the Journal of Financial Planning, Human Behavior and Psychology Today (and anyone else who will dare to publish him), and is the author of nine books on investing, most co-authored with his pal, economist Ben Stein, and some of which have been New York Times bestsellers.
His opinions have been quoted in the New York Times, the Financial Times, Yahoo! Finance, On Wall Street, Fortune, Research Magazine, Investor's Business Daily, Motley Fool, theStreet.com, and Playboy (not a pictorial, though) and he has been seen on various TV shows, including Consuelo Mack WealthTrack, CNBC's Worldwide Exchange, On the Money, Squawk Box and Closing Bell, as well as Fox & Friends, and Wall Street Week (basically, anyone who will stick a microphone in front of his face).
Importantly, his high school rock band opened for Herman's Hermits at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, and he served as a judge for one episode of the immortal TV reality show America's Most Smartest Model.
For his day job, Phil runs Conservative Wealth Management LLC.

Waste of time and money..I was wishing the book would have something to do with intricacies of portfolio management, unfortunately the book deals with none of it.
Dumbed down

He also contradicts himself. I bought this based on his interview on one of the early morning news shows, and he specifically said to never invest on your own, to always get an adviser, because, hey, they're the experts and how could you possibly know how to invest. In the book he goes the complete opposite, making the case that financial planners are as good as flipping a coin, and they're probably unethical anyway.
His movie on intelligent design was excellent and still goes unanswered, but this book was not worth my time.
