Over all the years I’ve been writing this blog, Ben Carlson is among the top few writers I’ve linked to most often (Jim Dahle and Christine Benz are probably the competitors).
Ben recently released a new book, which I just finished reading: Risk and Reward: How to handle market volatility and build long-term wealth. In short, it’s excellent. It would be on my short list of books to recommend to a new investor, and I think it’s a fun read for any experienced investor who enjoys good investment writing.
The book drills home the “…and now stick with the plan” lesson, in a variety of ways: stories, history, and (as you’d expect from Ben’s blog) a whole bunch of great charts for anybody who is a visual learner.
- Risk and Reward: How to handle market volatility and build long-term wealth (on Amazon)
- Links to the book on other various bookstores
