“With relatively little effort, you can design and assemble an investment portfolio that, because of its wide diversification and minimal expenses, will prove superior to the most professionally managed accounts. Great intelligence and good luck are not required.”
William Bernstein’s commonsense approach to portfolio construction has served investors well during the past turbulent decade—and it’s what made The Four Pillars of Investing an instant classic when it was first published nearly a decade ago.
This down-to-earth book lays out in easy-to-understand prose the four essential topics that every investor must master: the relationship of risk and reward, the history of the market, the psychology of the investor and the market, and the folly of taking financial advice from investment salespeople.
Bernstein pulls back the curtain to reveal what really goes on in today’s financial industry as he outlines a simple program for building wealth while controlling risk. Straightforward in its presentation and generous in its real-life examples, The Four Pillars of Investing presents a no-nonsense discussion of:
* The art and science of mixing different asset classes into an effective blend
* The dangers of actively picking stocks, as opposed to investing in the whole market
* Behavioral finance and how state of mind can adversely affect decision making
* Reasons the mutual fund and brokerage industries, rather than your partners, are often your most direct competitors
* Strategies for managing all of your assets—savings, 401(k)s, home equity—as one portfolio
Investing is not a destination. It is a journey, and along the way are stockbrokers, journalists, and mutual fund companies whose interests are diametrically opposed to yours.
More relevant today than ever, The Four Pillars of Investing shows you how to determine your own financial direction and assemble an investment program with the sole goal of building long-term wealth for you and your family.

Stock Valuation: An Essential Guide to Wall Street's Most Popular Valuation Models by Scott Hoover : the book
Successful investing is about beating market benchmarks. To do this, you need to know how to identify, evaluate, and invest in mispriced stocks.
Stock Valuation provides you with a hands-on examination of Wall Street's most widely practiced valuation models, focusing on the theoretical underpinnings of those models and how they perform when applied to actual trades in the marketplace.
Accessible to sophisticated investors and indispensable for investment professionals, Stock Valuation features:
• Step-by-step examination of the building blocks of accurate valuation, leading to the construction and implementation of a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model
• An instructive chapter-by-chapter valuation study of an actual company, providing examples of each concept applied in a real-life situation
• Strategies drawn from three investment professionals who have outperformed the markets over extended periods of time--Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, and legendary mutual fund manager Bill Miller
• Underpriced companies don't generally announce their existence, but they do exist. Stock Valuation describes the tools necessary to uncover and profit from underpriced stocks, before the rest of the market discovers them and closes the value gap.
Accurate stock valuation is a complex process, in which investors strive to eliminate variation and surprise while uncovering the signs that point to potentially valuable opportunities. And while professional investors know it is the numbers that truly tell the tale, they also know from experience that numbers derived on a spreadsheet often behave unpredictably when subjected to the give-and-take of the market.
Stock Valuation integrates the theoretical and the practical worlds into a single resource for the valuation of publicly traded companies. It carefully explains and provides in-depth details for each component of the valuation process. The book also shows you how to use this knowledge to arrive at accurate stock valuation in the real world, minimizing risk while substantially improving investment performance.
Stock Valuation features:
• A detailed look at of the investing community's most popular valuation models--the Malkiel model, the DCF model, LBO analysis, trading comparables, and transaction comparables
• Examination of a company's three main financial statements--the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of cash flows--and how to accurately interpret what each is saying
• "Time value of money" equations for assessing any stock or issue in virtually any investment situation
• Techniques for first measuring risk and converting that measure of risk into a corresponding required return
• Two approaches for forecasting future growth and free cash flows, one more comprehensive and the other more situation-specific
In Stock Valuation, seasoned valuation practitioner and educator Scott Hoover has crafted a valuation guidebook that is both theoretically sound and consistent with how valuation is conducted by Wall Street professionals. Covering everything from price formation and present and future value of cash flows to discount rate calculation, analysis of key financial statements, capital structure and cost of capital, and more, it introduces the valuation techniques that investment professionals use, explains how and why they use each, and what investors can do to account for the possible biases, limitations, and idiosyncrasies they present.Quantitative Strategies for Achieving Alpha: The Standard and Poor's Approach to Testing Your Investment Choices by Richard Tortoriello : the book
Quantitative Strategies for Achieving Alpha was borne from equity analyst Richard Tortoriello's efforts to create a series of quantitative stock selection models for his company, Standard & Poor's, and produce a road map of the market from a quantitative point of view.
With this practical guide, you will gain an effective instrument that can be used to improve your investment process, whether you invest qualitatively, quantitatively, or seek to combine both. Each alpha-achieving strategy has been extensively back-tested using Standard & Poor's Compustat Point in Time database and has proven to deliver alpha over the long term. Quantitative Strategies for Achieving Alpha presents a wide variety of individual and combined investment strategies that consistently predict above-market returns. The result is a comprehensive investment mosaic that illustrates clearly those qualities and characteristics that make an investment attractive or unattractive.
This valuable work contains:
A wide variety of investment strategies built around the seven basics that drive future stock market returns: profitability, valuation, cash flow generation, growth, capital allocation, price momentum, and red flags (risk)
A building-block approach to quantitative analysis based on 42 single-factor and nearly 70 two- and three-factor backtests, which show the investor how to effectively combine individual factors into robust investment screens and models
More than 20 proven investment screens for generating winning investment ideas
Suggestions for using quantitative strategies to manage risk and for structuring your own quantitative portfolios
Advice on using quantitative principles to do qualitative investment research, including sample spreadsheets
