Book Reviews: The ETF Trend Following Playbook by Tom Lydon
For decades, the vast majority of individual investors have been lucky enough to take advantage of stock market opportunities and improve their financial situation. However, the major financial crises of the 1990s (1992 - European exchange rate mechanism crisis, 1994 - Mexican crisis, 1997 - East Asian crisis, 1998 - Russian crisis, and 1998 - Brazilian crisis) and the global financial crisis of 2007 have forced investors to reassess their investment strategies. Stocks can no longer be counted upon as safe investment vehicles for return on investment and the stock markets, having seen a fair share of volatility, have made investors willing to look for safer investments that can give them higher returns with relatively lower risk.
For investors who have experienced severe market fluctuations ETFs have proven to be a safe solution for portfolio diversification and profitable investments on a long-term horizon. Tom Lydon's 'The ETF Trend Following Playbook' is a valuable tool that navigates the current financial environment and guides investors to the paths of ETFs investing. By providing a comprehensive and excellent review of exchanged traded funds, Lydon manages to explain the complexity of the global financial system and to justify why increasingly individual investors and financial professionals see ETFs as reliable investment vehicles.
