Status quo investing is dead, and a growing number of investors want to take advantage of the risk-reduction features of active management. In this second, expanded edition of his prophetic 2009 classic, Ken Solow reveals the secrets of the successful active manager as he walks you through the proprietary methods of his own firm. A provocative and thoughtful critique of the current state of the money management industry, "Buy and Hold is Dead (AGAIN)" remains an invaluable investment guide for our financially challenging times.

The second edition of the classic investment guide to active portfolio management.

The current academic and financial planning industry definitions of “risk” are changing quickly, but the notion of what constitutes a risky investment strategy is still stuck in the Dark Ages. Wealth management expert Kenneth Solow takes a fresh look at the investment industry’s reliance on Buy and Hold investing, exposing the flaws and potential dangers of this strategy during long-term bear markets. The fact is, patiently waiting for stocks to deliver historical average returns is not an effective investment strategy.

Solow advocates a different approach called Tactical Asset Allocation, and he offers the reader an unparalleled look into the methods, techniques, and safeguards of active portfolio management. Now in its second edition with updated material and a new chapter, "Buy and Hold is Dead (Again)" remains an invaluable investment guide for our financially challenging times.
