OddsOn_0416April was a busy month book-wise on the site. We published three book excerpts from Matt Hall’s Odds On: The Making of an Evidence-Based Investor, Eric Balchunas’ The Institutional ETF Toolbox: How Institutions Can Understand and Utilize the Fast-Growing World of ETFs and Todd Wenning’s Keeping Your Dividend Edge: Strategies for Growing & Protecting Your Dividends. All three of these books ended up on this month’s list which showed a great deal of turnover.
