praise for The Large-Cap Portfolio

"Tom Villalta has crafted a thoughtful must-read for anyone who's a stock picker, anyone looking to step up their game in investing returns, or even the casual reader interested in how markets work. The book not only offers insightful tips from a seasoned pro, but also a spirited defense of the passion for picking stocks in an age when many are content to let the machines take over investing."—Tiernan Ray, Senior Editor, Barron's magazine

"Most investors hold large-cap stocks in their portfolios but don't really understand why. In The Large-Cap Portfolio, fund manager Thomas Villalta offers a clear explanation as to the importance of owning large-caps and why this asset class should not be taken for granted. He also offers a compelling case for actively managed strategies as opposed to indexes or 'closet-indexes.' All in all, it's an interesting, detailed look at an often overlooked sector of the market."—Gregg Greenberg, Mutual Funds Reporter, TheStreet.com
