From Chapter 5, I think in general I-bonds and TIPS are not very useful because many bonds (and bond funds) will provide better rates of return and equities tend to be a better hedge against inflation if that is your concern. Chapter 12- Diversification is more than just simply buying an S&P 500 or Wilshire 5000 fund, even though those funds are well-diversified over hundreds of stocks. Diversification also means holding a sizable portion of your portfolio in small and medium, growth and value stocks, as well as international stocks in both 1st world and emerging markets. Finally, Ch. 16- Having an advisor can be a great source for keeping you sane and taking a lot of the stress of managing your owns investments away, even if you do plenty of research and enjoy investing.

That typo is still there. And it’s quite funny!

Chapter 21 – Protect Your Asses by Being Well-Insured

Asses should be Assets.
