Investors are in a jam. A troubled global economy, unpredictable markets, and a bewildering number of investment choices create a dangerous landscape for individual and institutional investors alike. To meet this challenge, most of us rely on a portfolio of fund managers to take risk on our behalves. Here, investment expert Brian Portnoy delivers a powerful framework for choosing the right ones - and avoiding the losers.

Portnoy reveals that the right answers are found by confronting our own subconscious biases and behavioral quirks. A paradox we all face is the natural desire for more choice in our lives, yet the more we have, the less satisfied we become - whether we're at the grocery store, choosing doctors, or flipping through hundreds of TV channels. So, too, with investing, where there are literally tens of thousands of funds from which to choose. Hence "the investor's paradox": We crave abundant investment choices to conquer volatile markets, yet with greater flexibility, the more overwhelmed and less empowered we become.

Leveraging the fresh insights of behavioral economics, Portnoy demystifies the opaque world of elite hedge funds, addresses the limits of mass market mutual funds, and discards the false dichotomy between "traditional" and "alternative" investments. He also explores why hedge funds have recently become such a controversial and disruptive force. Turns out it's not the splashy headlines - spectacular trades, newly minted billionaires, aggressive tactics - but something much more fundamental. The stratospheric rise to prominence and availability of alternative strategies represents a further explosion in the size and complexity of the choice set in a market already saturated with products. It constitutes something we all both crave and detest.

The Investor's Paradox lights a path toward simplicity in a world of dangerous markets and overwhelming choice. Written in accessible, jargon-free language, with a healthy skepticism of today's money management industry, it offers not only practical tools for investment success but also a message of empowerment for investors drowning in possibility.

I've been using for a month
I've been using the "Free to Be Me" internal supplement for a month and I noticed a difference after a week or two, and I'm very pleased to report that I am a repeat customer and will put this on subscription. I've been a Puriya customer for many years, and use Mother of All Creams daily. Adding this product has made a real difference. My skin is sensitive in that light touches, such as hair, feathers, and even bed covers, cause an itching reaction. It's not as bad now. I have noticed less itching at bedtime and am wearing my hair down more often. I think the effect is cumulative, and the ingredients must be nourishing in a way that my body needs. I've heard that the skin is the first line of defense in the body, so I'm fortunate to find products like these that are reasonably priced for the quality, and that I can use in comfort, knowing that I am not using ingredients that are harsh in the body.

This product really Works !! Wow , I have had Ezema for 30 years and this helps !!!
I really was tired after 30 years of using expensive ointments and creams .. So hesitant about a pill formula, I said, Why not ? And I do love this Company! I had used the Mother of All Creams before and loved it but the price got a little too expensive? But I still love it ! So I tried this pill for my Ezema and let me tell you something, I was amazed at how fast it cured up my red itchy rash that had annoyed me for all last Summer ! I had even been bitten by a tick and it did not even itch !! Not joking People ! But it says take 2 pills a day , I take 3 daily because my Ezema is Chronic ! Thanks so much Puriya !! And please keep producing this product !!! M.W.

Not a recommend , was refunded
Again, maybe it helps others. Does nothing for me. I went all out and purchased the face wash, Mother of all Creams and these supplements. My skin actually got more itchy and felt greasy. So over $70. down the drain for me. The company refunded me for all 3 items. They stand behind their product. Perhaps I have a sensitivity or something of an allergy to an ingredient or 2 in the formulas. I followed instructions and it was after about a week and a half of use I just had to stop. I have always had sensitive skin.
