Summary

Many of us have been conditioned to believe that investing is too difficult and time-consuming to attempt on our own. With so many products to choose from and so many risks involved, a financial "professional" is the only person qualified to handle the money you'll retire on some day, right? The truth is, no one cares more about your money than you do. And with a basic understanding of the investment process and the time-tested strategy offered here, you can successfully manage your own portfolio in less than 20 minutes a year.

In The Gone Fishin' Portfolio, author Alexander Green details an effective yet simple approach to investing that embraces the uncertainty of financial markets, and reveals how you can generate exceptional results during both good times and bad. Discover how the "Gone Fishin' Portfolio" will allow you to earn superior returns, reduce risk, minimize taxes, and eliminate Wall Street's mountain of fees. Divided into three comprehensive parts - Get Wise, Get Wealthy, and Get on with Your Life - this reliable resource:

  • Discusses the relationship between risk and reward in financial markets, and reveals how the investment industry really works
  • Unveils the "Gone Fishin' Portfolio," addresses why it's arguably the safest and simplest way to reach your long-term financial goals, and explores the financial and psychological challenges you're likely to face in the years ahead
  • Examines what it means to take your financial destiny into your hands and, at the same time, reclaim your most precious resource - your time

    The Gone Fishin' Portfolio is based on an investment strategy that won a Nobel Prize in economics. Yet setting it up is a snap and maintaining it is even easier. You'll need less than 20 minutes a year.

    Critic reviews

    "Having known Alex Green for more than 20 years, I can tell you there are few investment advisors with more intelligence, knowledge, and integrity. His Gone Fishin' Portfolio is a superb strategy for delivering top-tier investment results. It's smart. It's conservative. It takes very little time. And the returns have been superb." (Michael Masterson, best-selling author, Automatic Wealth: The Six Steps to Financial Independence and Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat).

    Do it yourself guide to maximise returns

    Good guidance from an expert on how a novice investor can manage their retirement planning to maximise returns by diversifying to minimise risk and optimising market opportunity; and stripping out the many costs that can erode the unwary’s pot significantly over time. References to US tax system will need to be translated by the reader to their national tax system so the important tax planning elements can be implemented successfully.

    American specific ref

    A good listen, although situated within the American Market. I found this an easier listen and got more out of it. A little dated but the message is clear, diversify.

    Great Book

    A very enjoyable book to listen too.. All seemed based on very solid, logical and sensible fundamentals. It was not only enlightening but very well read and uncomplicated in its language. I will be trying to put this into practice in my investing for sure.

    So Much Expectation - Feeling Fooled

    So, I started reading with great expectation - at last, the Holy Grail. A set and forget portfolio for future retirement. Simple. Firstly it's no 'so' simple but even forgetting that - I then find via the 'net that it's quite a poor performer and that there are others readily available online for free. Time and money wasted I' m afraid. If it's too good to be true......
