Pabrai, M. (2007). The Dhandho investor: the low-risk value method to high returns. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley. Pabrai provides a rational approach to long-term investing that reflects the reality of risk and return. It helps dispel the popular assumption that adequate returns need result from inordinate risk.
