Which may be fine for visitors to Six Flags, but for your retirement, savings, and investments, you'd like to actually get somewhere. In The Little Book of Sideways Markets, respected value investor and author Vitaliy Katsenelson show you how to survive a stagnant market that's neither bull nor bear but instead what he calls a cowardly lion-it displays occasional bursts of bravado but is ultimately overcome by fear.
