Written for those who really want understanding in how to protect their investments
Mr. Carter has masterfully written a sequel to his "The 12% Solution." This text, however, is geared toward protecting individual stocks or ETFs, and not the whole portfolio (as his "The 12% Solution" does). Together, both texts make a developed and well-rounded investment strategy. Well written, easy to read, full of practical justifications for the method. There are even many examples of where the solution could fall short (then, usually, additional options to plug up the holes). All that is to say that the concepts were developed and well justified, with exposure to the strengths and weaknesses of the method. Written with honesty, integrity, and ultimately, a well-thought-out plan to beat the results of the S&P 500 (as backtesting showed and explained how this actually is accomplished.) A must-read if for no other reason but to compare to some of the other material out there on the subject. Most brilliant and well done! Thank you!

Good theory
The theory is well thought out and researched. He explains his research and conclusions in plain english, not financial jargon that most of us don't understand. I would not relay solely on this method but would definitely use it with my money to play with.

Great book!
I’ve been around the stock market for over 40 years. It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or more experienced investor, you will find helpful material in David’s books. I strongly suggest not reading just one of them.

Simple and effective Strategy for a Retiree
I, like many investors, have depended upon good intentioned Brokers over the years for advice and guidance only to be disappointed with the results. I am tired of paying money for mediocre results along with misguided strategies that only seem to benefit the broker. Time for change !I don't necessarily have the suggested time line David uses in the book, but to me it absolutely makes sense, a lot of common sense in fact.To me the logic is sound and the back testing results speak for themselves. With all that being said, David's book is very informative, timely and I have just recently deployed this strategy. Stay tuned for future comments about the results.

Easy and informative read...
I found this book to be simple and straightforward, yet elegant in its approach. The strategy makes sense and seems well backtested. I also enjoyed the “12% solution” and think the two strategies can go hand in hand ... providing investors an approach to do some individual stock picking with a portion of a portfolio and a broad market, more traditional 60/40 split with the rest of their portfolio.

A good read.
As with my review of the 12% Solution, I have not put this information to work. The system described in this book doesn't seem to complicated. I just need to stop procrastinating and get back in to the market. I will update this review after I try it out.
