Customer Reviews

I strongly recommend Richard Bernstein?s ?Navigate the Noise

This readable book explains very important concepts (risk/reward, asset allocation etc.) very well. Serious long-term investors would be well advised to navigate the noise (I would suggest shutting off CNBC as a start), read Richard's book, and then create a diversified portfolio that is expected to help them fund their long-term liabilities (education, retirement etc.) while matching their true risk tolerance.

Navigate the Noise: Investing in the New Age of Media and Hy

Rich Bernstein is one of the "Wisest" Professionals on Wall Street. While there are a lot of smart people in the investment community that can easily rattle off facts and figures, Rich helps you understand why much of the information is worthless and can even be harmful to an individual investor. "Navigate the Noise: Investing in the New Age of Media and Hype" helps explain how individuals can avoid following the croud, or getting caught up in the news event of the moment. He provides a common sense and thoughful appoach to what information is important to achieving YOUR investment goals and objectives, and not simply following the croud when it comes to making investment decisions. With all the talking heads in the media and investment community Rich Bernstein is a "Breed Apart".This is one book on investing that can help new and experienced investors stay focused on the information that can make a positive difference to their investment returns.

This book is awesome!

A must-read for anyone that really wants to understand the stock market and why it does what it does. The book has helped me understand what investing over the long term is all about and how short term flows of information and emotion impact the short term performance of any investing strategy.

Great Insights in this Book

Bernstein makes the whole investment process very clear and understandable. I was amazed at how many stupid investment errors I was making by simply watching CNBC and reading every word in every business magazine.It's an easy and quick read. Definitely worth it!!

Highly Recommended!

The more information a market provides the more efficiently it will operate, right? Well, in theory that’s so. In fact, market transparency has been a top goal of financial regulators in the U.S. for decades. But is it possible to have too much information? Richard Bernstein makes a compelling argument that not all information is good information. Noise — the deluge of 24-hour news coverage, constant cable TV market-chatter, continuous Internet feeds and barrages of electronic updates — is a danger to most investors, who lack the resources to separate the accurate from the spurious. This book is a Godsend for investors who think — usually mistakenly — they can make sense of it all. Bernstein tells you how to cut through the noise by focusing on long-term investment plans, diversifying and clearly assessing risk. We [...] recommend this informative book for its crisp, personal style, and for its practical approach to bringing some peace and quiet to your portfolio.
