Larstan's the Black Book on Personal Finance: The Wealth-Creation Secrets of the World's Savviest Advisors

Asset Allocation A Financial Flight Plan This book is about making activity in the investment world easier. The book is about making the investment world less frightening. It is about not making decisions alone. It is about making the whole idea more secure, more stable. This financial flight plan is about having more fun. Establishing diversity is essential. This concept accomplishes a profoundly expanded future in both the portfolio and the mind. Having one's feet spread and more firmly planted during the winds of extreme confusion is a good feeling. The article also helped me with, actual experience, that giving up old ideas, and gingerly accepting new ones, brought me unimagined benefits. I learned that expanded acceptance of new ideas improved my desire to further learn more new ideas. I learned the benefits of more current experience, emotionless decisions, and practical evaluation. The road to the future is obscured, circuitous and often across the sea. This is an unflown path for an old pilot. "Asset Allocation A financial flight plan" is a very good read for anyone that wants to expand their knowledge base in the world of finance. A great example of a need to know more centers around an interest in automobiles. Which is right, for today? Hybrid, hydrogen, gas, diesel, electric? The answer is to read lots, study, learn. The importance of this work for me is that it allowed me to see, in terms that I could relate to, the value of diversity. The opportunity to more sensibly achieve my goals has been afforded me. My being more confident and comfortable in my lifes work is more joyful. Robert M. Shayne, Investor/Client
