Two Thumbs up ...

This is a well-written book that any investor, neophyte or expert could benefit from. It's a great place to start for an education on some of the more hidden angles of the market. The reader is encouraged and equipped to perform their own research. This book has become a welcome addition to my very selective library.

This time, I want to know what I'm doing

As millions of other novice investors, I lost substantial amounts of money because I "confused the bull market with brains"In Dec 2002, I decided to get back into the market, taking advantage of the low prices. But I still didn't have a clue how to pick stocks, especially in unfamiliar industries. Surely, this time I would not wait until stock picks were discussed at parties. This book was right on target. I feel much more confident in my abilities to research and manage a portfolio than ever before. One of the most important books I read in the past ten years.

A must read; GREAT ideas and information

I could not put this book down, even though I am not a religious reader of business or finance books, this book kept my interest and I finished it in two nights!Such great and simple and common sense idease, it is very refreshing and I will follow the advice for sure.A must read for everyone, I am making my son (he is 13) read it too.

Thumbs up !!

When it came to purchasing stocks, I've relied on my broker in making most purchasing decisions, who, as I learned later, followed the recommendations issued by analysts. After reading this book, I've looked at the recommendation history of some of the stocks I've owed and determined that, had I read this book a few years ago, I'd be a much happier, not to mention wealthier, investor today. Even in today's market, the strategies discussed in this book offer a solid foundation for any investor as well as a comprehensive look at the world of stock recommendations.
