Review ‘…one financial insider’s efforts to create another financial insider from scratch. This book has charm and intelligence in spades.’( Accounting Technician, January 2011). “If you’d like to learn more about what makes good (and simple) investing, Roth’s 2009 book, How a Second-Grader Beats Wall Street, is a good start and a must for any index investor’s library.” ― Scott Burns , AssetBuilder From the Back Cover Praise for HOW A SECOND GRADER BEATS WALL STREET "Allan Roth's How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street reminds us that the most important investment principles are actually simple truths that we lose sight of as our lives andinvestment approaches grow more complicated." ―Don Phillips, Managing Director, Morningstar, Inc. "Meet Kevin Roth: financial savant, successful money manager, and second grader. Kevin, you see, possesses several unfair advantages over the rest of us: he doesn't read the Wall Street Journal, worry about the economy, or watch James Cramer (well, maybe he does, but only with the sound off). But he solidly understands the principles of investment management. How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street can be consumed almost as quickly and enjoyably as the chocolate milk on Kevin's lunch tray." ―William Bernstein, author of The Four Pillars of Investing and The Investor's Manifesto "One of the greatest gifts any author can bring to their readers is the ability to capture simplicity from complexity and convey the essence in a readable, understandable fashion. Allan Roth does that with How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street. His book will help readers realize that fads and fashion are trumped by the steady, less risky returns that come from rational diversification and a disciplined commitment to it. Everything in Roth's book has special relevance in today's turbulent and treacherous times." ―George G. C. Parker, Dean Witter Distinguished Professor of Finance, Emeritus, Stanford Business School "Don't be put off by thinking the title is too cute. The great lessons of life are simple (but, as Warren Buffett advises, not easy). If you follow these important rules, successful investing is 'child's play.'" ―Charles D. Ellis, author of Winning the Loser's Game and coauthor of The Elements of Investing "The 'Second Grader's Starter Portfolio' is one of the eight great 'Lazy Portfolios' we feature and update on Dow Jones/MarketWatch. Why? Because it's a winner, regularly beating the S&P 500. It's perfect for all Americans, young and young-at-heart, who are starting small and want to retire a millionaire someday." ―Paul B. Farrell, JD, PhD, author of The Millionaire Meditation "You can make investing as complicated as you want. Or you can make it simple. The beauty of Kevin Roth's elegantly reasoned approach is not just that it's clearer and easier to execute than most investing advice today. It's also that, in the long run, it's likely to put more money in your pocket." ―Eric Schurenberg, former managing editor, Money magazine About the Author Allan S.
