Customer Reviews

A must read to manage your money

There is no better book than 'Juggling Dynamite' telling you what to expect during secular bull or secular bear market. Have to agree with the author that timing is always important when it comes to investing. Passive buy and hold strategy promoted by wall street(means more bonus for them) has come to the end. Calling top or bottom is impossible to do. However, valuing the risks is something you have to do everyday, if preserving the capital is your #1 goal. Love the recommended list of books to read at the end too if you'd like to have more insights to investing.

NOT a traditional money management book. Excellent!

Excellent insight into the mutual fund industry, that would only want you to BUY BUY and HOLD. The industry does not want you to sell. Mind you, the hedge fund industry might have a different angle. More balanced. I will not watch CNBC with the same blind trust as I had before. Well written. If I read this when it first came out, I would have made a fortune in the markets, as it seems she predicted the market meltdown.

Good common sense about Investing

Good common sense about Investing. Read and re-read over time to keep your perspective on the market, cycles, and human nature.

Market history and Realism

Daniel Park is market historian and a realist. She has the wisdom of someone well beyond her years. You can spend some 20-30 years learning from your investment mistakes or just simply read this book. Watch the video below to get an idea of her philosophy on investing and life. A great read. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7uK-B6x0a0 Keep in mind that she is speaking from a Canadian point of view which makes her insights quite interesting. Highly recommended.

ITS ABOUT TIME!!! L.

Its about time someone wrote something useful about investing. "Juggling Dynamite" takes a no nonsense view of the realities and pitfalls confronting individual investors, especially the inherent conflicts of interest they face when having to seek advice from the "Investment Sales Industry". An easy read with great real life examples. Well done Ms. Park!! L. Barrie.
