How Not To Lose A Million Dollars

bySheila Bair

Former FDIC chair Sheila Bair uses hard-earned lessons from financial crises and consumer protection to explain how investors can avoid devastating losses. She examines leverage, concentration, complexity, fraud, conflicts of interest, and the seductive promise of returns that seem both high and safe. The book emphasizes questions ordinary people can ask before entrusting money to an adviser, product, or institution. Through cautionary examples and practical guidance, Bair argues that preserving wealth depends on skepticism, diversification, clear understanding, and the courage to walk away from opportunities one cannot explain.
