Books by Ian Ayres

That's the title of the new book by Ian Ayres and Barry Nalebuff and the subtitle is A New, Safe, and Audacious Way to Improve the Performance of Your Retirement Portfolio .  Their point is simple: if diversification across asset classes is so good, why not also seek greater diversification across time periods ?  In other words, you should want to hold stocks for longer periods of time and to do this when you are young you should incur additional debt to play the market.

There are many other prediction tools here (do click), from Ian Ayres .  Ayres requests that you email him other prediction applets, which he will add to the page.  Ayres also has a new book out, Super Crunchers: Why Thinking by Numbers is the New Way to be Smart ; it is highly readable and also endorsed by Steve Levitt.
