Summary: I was very disappointed with this book.
Review: This is an amusing book, but a new investor, or anyone, should be skeptical about their theories. If you critically examine their proofs and logic, you'll see their bias and the half truths very clearly. The authors have profitted from the great market conditions, over the last few years, but so have millions of other investors that have never heard of these two fools. Their humor and erroneous "facts", tend to wear thin after the first third of the text. This is an amusing book, but I certainly wouldn't base any financial plans on the opinions expressed, by the authors, in this book.

Summary: A simple and great book.
Review: This book is just great. One of my friends recommanded this book to me and when I began reading it, it was hard to put it down. Gardners tell you in a very simple and understandable way what the stock market is all about (it is more simple than you think) and how you can beat it. The book shows you how to pick good compnies, and have fun doing so. I recommand it very much.

Review: most people i know, have no strategy when it comes to their personal investing. they just buy a few mutual funds, and big stocks like msft,yahoo, and disney. i was one of these investots. this book helped explain everything to me and provided a logical approach to investing. what to invest in and what not to. i am a finance/accounting major at one of the top 5 b-schools in the country, and i learned more about investing from this book than i have learned in school. stronly recommend

Summary: I had to buy a second copy
Review: Very good introduction to investing done in a readable style. I had to buy a second copy because I lent the first one to my girlfriend and she has no intention of giving it up!

Summary: One of the best investment books ever!
Review: This book is perhaps one of the most honest approaches to investing. Anything more is too sophisticated, full of spin, and motivated by other marketing schemes. I feel that this book has none of that, and is purely informative as it cuts through the sophistry of "get rich quick" manuals. Also, the Gardner brothers are very well read and possess great understanding of the philosophical and the practical aspects of the investment world.

Summary: Great Irony
Review: This month I bought two books-this one and SAVE PENNIES, BANK MILLIONS. I was expecting to get the 'nuts and bolts' of trading and stock analysis from MOTLEY FOOL but it turned out to be more educational for the long term focus instead. SAVE PENNIES, BANK MILLIONS which deals with general finance issues actually gave me the nuts and bolts I was looking for in terms of 'in & out' day trading in just a couple of chapters. MOTLEY FOOL wasn't quite what I expected but I am pleased with both.

Summary: READ THE FIRST HUNDRED PAGES OF THIS BOOK......
Review: ....they may be the best hundred pages ever written in an investment guide. An eye-opening, educational, genuinely fun book on investing. One of the best I've read. The Brothers Gardner are the Peter Lynch of the 90's. After you've read this, read their second book, You Have More Than You Think. Then recommend to all you friends. What they have to tell you is important and could very well change how you think about money and investing.
