Stop making avoidable mistakes.

“Not since Fred Schwed’s Where are the Customers’ Yachts? have I learned so much and laughed so hard. How Not to Invest is destined to become a classic of the investment wisdom genre.”

“For more than 20 years, the first thing I read every morning is Barry Ritholtz’s blog. With the publication of his new book, I now have a complete reference of his accumulated investment wisdom at my fingertips. Every investor should read this book!”

“Terrific, charming, fun, and unfailingly clearheaded. It is a sensational read, and it will also save you a ton of money. A tremendous achievement—and a gift to the human race.”

“A hugely entertaining investing book. Barry uses stories from throughout his 30-year career to illustrate the pitfalls to avoid if you want to build long-term wealth.”

“I love this book. I always say that failure comes from failure to imagine failure. Barry brilliantly inverts all the so-called advice from how-to investing books with a totally original take telling us what NOT to do. A wise approach to win in markets and life––by not losing.”

"This is what happens when you have a seasoned investor and market researcher who knows how to tell a story and doesn’t hide behind jargon: a clear, compelling book that will add value to anyone who reads it. Not reading Barry’s book would be a big investing mistake."

“No one has done more to educate modern investors than Barry Ritholtz. How Not to Invest is yet another example of how Barry fearlessly exposes the many fallacies and mysteries of investing advice, the charlatans doling it out, and the financial media. This book is witty, smart, insightful, and humble—just like its author, and is a must-read for today’s educated investor.”

“A radically brilliant takedown on everything that's wrong with Wall Street, financial media, the advice industry, and the human beings who must navigate this thorny morass of nonsense.”

“Read this book. It is full of valuable lessons for anyone who wants to become a better investor by learning from others’ far-too-common mistakes. Barry is both a successful investor and a keen observer of markets and investor behavior. Barry’s insights in this book are clever, candid, and, simply, great counterpoints to the conventional wisdom that’s far too prevalent today.”
