Risk-Return Analysis: The Theory and Practice of Rational Investing

This may be a topic that I hate most as I read too much this sort of books in the past. However, as a refreshment purpose, I decided to give it a try.

Ended up, it is still not my cup of tea. First of all, this is definitely not a book for math-phobic like me. The tons of mathematical stuff really drives me crazy at times, LOL. Furthermore, although the author did his best in writing this book, I think many of the items discussed are just some repetition in other books that I read. Overall, after squeezing my brain hard, I found I gained not much at the end.

This is actually the first of four volumes on the subject of risk return analysis. As such, after finish this whole book... although it is not thick, I do not think I will explore further on the other three volumes. As mentioned above, the mathematical stuff really scared me off in the first place. So, I do not think I have the determination to dig further into such a "college textbook", LOL.

Rating wise, I am going to rate this book at 1/10 based on my personal preferences. In fact, I may not be the right person to judge this book due to my poor mathematical skill. This book may turn out to be a real jewel for some readers. But, I am the exception...
