A random walk down Wall Street

"In A Random Walk Down Wall Street you will learn the basic terminology of Wall Street, how to navigate its turbulence, and how to beat the pros at their own game - with a user-friendly, long-range investment strategy that really works. Skilled in the ways of Wall Street, Malkiel shows why a portfolio of securities that simply buys and holds all the securities in a broad index is most likely to exceed the performance of securities carefully picked by professionals using sophisticated analytical techniques."--Jacket
