Statistics show that only 20% of small investors ever come close to achieving their investment goals. The other 80% get eaten alive by \"investment sharks\"—investment advisors, fund managers and other hucksters out to line their pockets with your hard-earned cash. Motivated by a sense of fair play, Cheng resolved to write an investor's survival guide in which he'd share everything he's learned in his years as a successful professional investor. The result is \u003ci\u003eTaming the Money Sharks\u003c\/i\u003e.
