category Given the complex and challenging world of investing, what
chance do individuals have navigating the financial minefield and
emerging unscathed? Not much, unless they become knowledgeable

pitfalls as pyramid and Ponzi schemes to help them become more
financially successful. Investment Traps Exposed helps investors

internal traps that they or their clients can encounter. Baker and

When you think about investing, what words come to mind?
Overwhelming? Intimidating? Scary? Investors face a vast array of
investment options vying for their business. They are aware that
some of those providing these "opportunities" seek to take
advantage of them. And although most investors realize they are
fallible, they often have no clear idea why or what they can do
about it. So what chance do less savvy investors have navigating
the investment minefield and emerging unscathed? The answer is not
much-unless they recognize the pitfalls along the way. In this
book, H. Kent Baker and Vesa Puttonen show new investors how to
avoid rash financial decisions and basic investing sins. They help
them to recognize and avoid common investing mistakes, behavioral
biases, and traps that can affect sound judgment and reduce wealth.
Ultimately, they explain how to separate investment fads from
time-tested investment principles-a task that is easier said than
done, but that is well worth the effort. Navigating the Investment
Minefield is essential reading for novice investors, and it is of
keen interest to more seasoned investors seeking a refresher course
on the most basic, time-honored truths of wealth management.
