Investing Made Simple
Anthony Loviscek & Randy Anderson · 2004
62/100
👎 Skip It
Two credentialed finance professors wrote this one and it's published by a mainstream imprint, so there's real institutional backing here. But the original edition dates back to 2004, and even with 'revised and updated' branding, some of the market specifics are likely showing their age. Solid bones, just not current enough to call it a standout pick.
