YOU COULD SPEND EYE¤GL AZING HOURS PERUSING
A BOOKSTORE'S PERSONAL FINANCE SECTION AND
AGONIZING WEEKS READING THE 74,000 BLURBS THAT
AN AMAZON SEARCH YIELDS ON THE SUBJECT, BUT
FINDING ENGAGING BOOKS WITH VALUABLE GUIDANCE
MIGHT STILL INVOLVE PLENT Y OF GUESSWORK.
JA ME S M. DA HLE , MD, FACEP, of whitecoatinvestor.com,
ož ers recommendations to help physician readers cut through
the clutter:
+ Personal Finance for Dummies, by Eric Tyson. "[A] compre-
hensive look at the subject in the usual dummies format,"
Dr. Dahle writes. He adds praise for another book by Tyson,
Mutual Funds for Dummies, which helped Dr. Dahle fi nd his
own way out of the fi nancial woods years ago.
+
The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, by Andrew
Tobias. Readable and witty, this book remains a best-seller
more than 30 years after it was fi rst published, Dr. Dahle notes.
+ The Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You'll
Ever Need, by Larry Swedroe. Written for those who have
some knowledge of the relevant terminolog y, Swedroe's
book helps readers map a comprehensive, persona lized
approach to investing.
+
The Intelligent Investor, by Benjamin Gra ham. This is
"perhaps the greatest book ever written for the masses on
value investing," according to Dr. Dahle. The author's role
as Warren Buž ett's mentor doesn't hurt, he adds.
