Basic investment tenets are covered in an easy, understandable way, but then the book also covers hedging, bond yields/prices, principal protected investing, and conservative options strategies for retail investors. Written in 1998, but the past 6 years tested the contents of the book well and it is enduring.

Bear? What bear?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sleeping Like a Baby: Investing In Volatile Markets (Hardcover)
I bought this book midway through the market correction in August, when I was considering "getting out" of the market altogether and selling great stocks that I've owned. I used a collar strategy from the book and bought some zero coupon treasuries, plus bought a stock that fit the description of a "defensive". My portfolio is now worth 7% more than at the market high in July, even though as of today the Dow is still 1000+ points off that high. Best of all, I didn't touch any of my core holdings. Best 20 bucks I ever spent. It was also valuable to finally read about bonds in a way that I can understand. The book could use an index and a bit more detail on convertibles and derivatives that are discussed, but overall the best thing I've seen yet. Very friendly read.

Insightful coverage of potentially intimidating topics,
This review is from: Sleeping Like a Baby: Investing In Volatile Markets (Hardcover)
As a novice to the stock market, I am grateful to have been introduced to this pearl of a book. Hudelson turns even the most complicated concepts into an easy and enjoyable read. It's obvious that he enjoys what he does; these people always seem to make the best teachers (and authors). I highly recommend this book.

A clear, easy to read treatise on complex material,

This review is from: Sleeping Like a Baby: Investing In Volatile Markets (Hardcover)
Mr. Hudelson writes in a clear and concise manner with some personal humor. This book should be a primer for anyone who is about to invest in the market. It removes much of the mystery usually associated with how and in what to invest.
