Product description

Unless you’re very handy, you probably don’t know how to fix your own car or give a family member a decent haircut. But most Americans are expected to be part-time fund managers. With a steady, livable pension check becoming a rarity, we’ve been entrusted with our own finances and, for the most part, failed miserably.

Since leaving his job as a top-rated stock analyst to become an investing columnist, Jakab has watched his readers - and his family, friends, and colleagues - make the same mistakes again and again. He set out to evaluate the typical advice people get, from the clearly risky to the seemingly safe, to figure out where it all goes wrong and how they could do much better.

Blending entertaining stories with some surprising research, Jakab explains

• How a typical saver could have a retirement nest egg twice as large by being cheap and lazy.
• Why investors who put their savings with a high-performing mutual fund manager end up worse off than if they’d picked one who has struggled.
• The best way to cash in on your hunch that a recession is looming.
• How people who check their brokerage accounts frequently end up falling behind the market.
• Who isn’t nearly as good at investing as the media would have you think.

He also explains why you should never trust a World Cup–predicting octopus, why you shouldn’t invest in companies with an X or a Z in their names, and what to do if a time traveler offers you economic news from the future.

Whatever your level of expertise, Heads I Win, Tails I Win can help you vastly improve your odds of investment success.
