Comfort Zone Investing

Frankly, I forgot how I ended up having this book. But, after spending my last 48 hours with this book, there is only one word to describe my feeling at the moment: Speechless!!! Damn...this is a real lousy write up!!!

Serious... I still confused on the purpose and intention of the author in producing this book. I thought it is a book about adjusting portfolio through certain strategy in order to reach the so called "comfort zone". Yet, the whole book said nothing about it. At the end, the only way to reach comfort zone is to avoid all kind of investments (OMG!!!). Perhaps, that is why we never ever heard "comfort zone" in investing. After all, risk itself is equivalent to certain kind of return. Comfort zone? Just avoid all risks as according to the author, LOL

Then, we got this very passive attitude in the whole book. Instead of being proactive in doing investigation and studies on various investment vehicle, the author choose an easier path by digging out the weaknesses and flaws in each option. In short; instead of giving solutions, the author tends to avoid all possible negative outcome. Unfortunately; according to him, every single investment tool seems to occupy ONLY with negative outcome except the real estate stuff. Serious... that is an easier advice to pass on... simple... perhaps reasonable... but nothing great!

Rating wise, I am going to rate 0/10. It is a waste of time in reading this book. Overall, this book presented nothing to me personally and it is simply too naive to reach to reach the so called "comfort zone" by tailoring your portfolio in such a way. One word to sum it up: LOUSY!!!
