The 2nd Edition
Michael’s book How to Invest Better than the Average Primate was inspired by a controlled experiment, in which chimpanzees made random investment selections by throwing darts at the Wall Street Journal. Their selections outperformed those made by the majority of professional fund managers. The thought of a chimp successfully
moonlighting as a fund manager, whilst mildly amusing, also serves to expose the shortcomings of the fund management industry.
An entertaining read to show you how to build your own successful investment portfolio, what to look for in an adviser and how to avoid the big pitfalls. Michael Barr refers to the mercenary activity of the investment industry as ‘legalised theft’.
