Rational Investing in Irrational Times is a timely new handbook for every investor today.

Unlike most investment books, the author further shows how investment performance can be greatly improved by building a globally diversified portfolio of passive index funds and/or Exchange Traded Funds consisting of multiple asset classes. The author also presents an efficient and proven way to avoid the most common (and costly) mistakes investors make.
