Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom
Steve Sjuggerud, D.R. Barton & Van K. Tharp · 2004
🎙 Narrated by John Lescault
63/100
👎 Skip It
Tharp's risk-management credibility gives this real backbone, and the four-step process is clear and repeatable, but remember it's a 2004 book — the market examples predate 2008 and 2020, and some of the 'safe' framing oversells how conservative the strategies really are. John Lescault's narration is professional and easy to follow. Solid ideas, dated execution.
