Imagine your investment portfolio as a long-term relationship. For decades, you've been faithfully committed to the traditional 60/40 stock and bond allocation-reliable but increasingly predictable. Meanwhile, the wealthy investors you read about seem to be having all the fun with exotic alternatives that promise both excitement and stability. Ben Stein and Phil DeMuth's "The Little Book of Alternative Investments" serves as your investment guide to options beyond your conventional portfolio. This Wall Street favorite demystifies the once-exclusive world of hedge funds, commodities, and other alternatives previously reserved for the ultra-wealthy. As markets have grown increasingly volatile in recent decades, this practical approach to diversification has never been more relevant.
