In A Random Walk Down Wall Street you will discover how mush fun it can be to beat the pros at their own game and learn a user-friendly long-range investment strategy that really works. Skilled at puncturing financial bubbles and other Wall Street Delusions, Malkiel explains why a broad portfolio of stocks selected by chance will perform as well as one carefully chosen by the experts.
