I have been professionally practicing in the investment management business for 34 years. Many clients have asked my advice for a guide, a book to study that encompasses the essence of solid investment processes. Dr. Weigand’s book is that resource: it captures both the art and science of the discipline, while taking today’s demanding investment environment into consideration.
