Review: I haven't actually read this book, but this C. Andrew Millard, he's great, except when he grounds me, and even then he's doing it for a good reason.

Summary: Well done, as far as it goes
Review: Well-written, well-researched, and attractively packaged, Low-Stress Investing advises you, in a friendly and encouraging manner, to diversify your portfolio. The author, an investment advisor, argues in favor of using an investment advisor (surprise!) -- but not in a way that detracts from his clear discussion of investment vehicles and strategy. If you're not clear on what comprises a diversified portfolio, not exactly sure what things like "convertibles" are, or feel a little stressed with your investment picture, you'll find this a useful read."Keeping Money In Perspective," "Myths of Traditional Investing," and "Stuck on Stocks" provide well-grounded and refreshing insights to counteract the anxiety exuded by the well-oiled machinery of Wall Street and Madison Avenue. Later chapters detail specific asset classes and give advice for allocating assets among equity ("ownership"), bonds ("loanership"), and cash. This is a good book for inexperienced (and trusting) investors, and will help them focus and evaluate their investments. But if you harbor lingering doubts about the integrity of the stock market, mutual fund industry, real estate and the dollar, you'll probably decide this isn't the last book you need to read on the subject.
