Abstract

The arguments made throughout this book can be summarized by a “don’t do list” of pitfalls investors should try to avoid: (1) don’t follow the crowd or chase prices; (2) don’t be seduced by fads, follies, and hot tips; (3) don’t try to time the market’s zigs and zags; (4) don’t measure risk by price volatility; (5) don’t be bedazzled by math; (6) don’t be duped by AI; (7) don’t be deceived by backtesting; (8) don’t torture data; and (9) don’t trust things too good to be true.
