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.

Non aggressive chewer destroyed in 10 mins
Color: Light Pink, Pattern Name: Roses
Unfortunately this is definitely not for aggressive chewers. We had to throw it away after 10 mins and it was given to a small dog. She did absolutely love it, but it shouldn't have shredder the toy like she did. The spikes were literally falling off. I don't know if we just got a defective one, but I'm definitely not happy with this purchase.

Depends on the KIND of chew
Color: Red, Pattern Name: Roses
I’ve given this to my fosters and most love it and keep it for a LONG time. Now I have a Pibble who figured out how to pibble tiny bits of plastic instead of just chomping.

Dogs Love!
Color: Real Bacon&Beef
My dogs love these. I originally had ordered one but the 3 dogs kept stealing it from each other so I had to buy more. I purchased 2, 2 packs. Highly recommend if you have some chewers. Great quality for the price. They do seem to last a while as well. Highly recommend.
