Daniel Park is market historian and a realist. She has the wisdom of someone well beyond her years. You can spend some 20-30 years learning from your investment mistakes or just simply read this book. Watch the video below to get an idea of her philosophy on investing and life. A great read.

Keep in mind that she is speaking from a Canadian point of view which makes her insights quite interesting. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Juggling Dynamite: An insider's wisdom about money management, markets, and wealth that lasts (Paperback)
Mrs. Park wrote a fine book and offers her wisdom about market timing vs the now defunct "buy and hold" strategy, as well as avoiding brokers and financial planners with possible conflicts of interest in seeking commissions over protecting the client's capital. She seems to have a bit of a contrarian view regarding some aspects of investment found in other books recently read. The book offered some take-home points at the end, but it also seemed to me to be lacking something. While the book was written a few years ago, I didn't recall there being much, if any, discussion about commodities such as gold and other current hot topic items. The main pointers in the book seemed to be fairly common sense: to run away from someone trying to put you into the buy and hold strategy, watch out for managers more interested in making money off of you instead of for you, and don't expect to make a very high return without speculation and high risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read to manage your money, May 9, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Juggling Dynamite: An insider's wisdom about money management, markets, and wealth that lasts (Paperback)
There is no better book than 'Juggling Dynamite' telling you what to expect during secular bull or secular bear market. Have to agree with the author that timing is always important when it comes to investing. Passive buy and hold strategy promoted by wall street(means more bonus for them) has come to the end.

Calling top or bottom is impossible to do. However, valuing the risks is something you have to do everyday, if preserving the capital is your #1 goal.

Love the recommended list of books to read at the end too if you'd like to have more insights to investing.
