When looking at a monthly brokerage statement, an investor's eyes
go straight to the bottom line--the account value. But there's a
catch. If you have big gains and decide to play it safe and take
some of that money off the table, taxes will take a hefty chunk of
those profits. Brokerage firms know how to handle such risk for
their own accounts, hedging holdings, for example, to iron out
volatility instead of incurring taxable capital gains. Savvy
individual investors can use the same techniques to protect
themselves.

". . . shining clarity and enviable originality." Critical Praise for PUZZLES OF FINANCE "An extraordinary combination of the elements of finance, commonsense wisdom, sparkling humor, shining clarity, and enviable originality. This is a potent blend by any standard of measurement. Longtime Kritzman watchers, however, would anticipate nothing less." "A modest, lively, clever little book. Kritzman’s puzzles range from party tidbits to the profound, and each is presented with a bit of history, a lot of insight, and just the right measure of wit. While he may not have intended it to be more than a collection of interesting conundrums, Kritzman has actually created a wonderful introduction to finance for the uninitiated with challenges for even the most sophisticated." "Mark Kritzman presents the reader with an entertaining way of learning some serious finance."
