Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Investors are waking up to Wall Street¿s biggest secret: the majority of actively managed mutual funds will regularly underperform the S&P 500 index. Index investments are a new class of easy-to-use investment tools¿WEBs, SPDRs, and others¿that trade like shares of stock, even as they reflect the market indexes they track and the fund-topping performance those indexes provide. Outpacing the Pros provides today¿s independent investor with a detailed introduction to stock indexes as a key element in either short- or long-term investing strategies. This complete guide to stock indexes looks inside today¿s most little-known, exciting investment, with: *What index investments are and how they work *How to use indexes to safely, effectively diversify any portfolio *Four sample portfolios using indexes

There probably are some faster ways to become a Millionaire, but aside from game shows, this probably is the best very first step for most of us.
This book is cheerful and gives accessible examples with approachable math (very little) to explain a complex and confusing topic.
For recovering tech-stock fanatics, that is perhaps the best argument for indexing. The book has a good mix of why it works, how to make it work and some convincing arguments about why we should try indexing. And, if you still want to try and find the subsequent Cisco (and sell it in time) the book shows how indexes can be used to judge stocks. It's a great introduction to the topic ,
"Moreover," Mr. Blitzer adds, "it is simple and easy and leaves time for other activities you may like better."
