Summary: Get your share of money and publicity!
Review: Businessmen and politicians learned long ago that getting the money and publicity go hand-in-hand. Not just any publicity, but solid personal publicity. If we want people to value our abilities, we must first show that we value ourselves - by making sure our accomplishments are visible to targeted audiences. If we want people to invest in our companies, to buy from us, or to hire and promote us into the corner office, they have to know who we are, what we have accomplished and why they should do business with us! Self-promotion is a valuable business tool that businesswomen MUST add to their strategies for success. Following a careful step-by-step process will help even the most timid become comfortable with the concept of self-promotion. (from Marion E. Gold, award-winning author of "The Personal Publicity Planner: A Guide to Marketing YOU")

Summary: Wow! Julie made it so darn understandable.
Review: I couldn't believe how Wall Street has made understanding investing so complicated, when it's not.Julie has taken a so called difficult subject and made it really simple to follow. In fact, as simple as 1-2-3 and A-B-C. Now I can talk the Wall Street lingo with the Big Boys, while laughing all the way to the bank. Thanks, Julie.

Summary: Finally I understand the Terminology
Review: I rate this book highly based on Ms. Stavs' explanation of the terminology in the stock market, i.e. BETA, Wow, I finally understand what it means. I love the simple way in which she explains, PE, etc. and how she adds simple examples and explanations to figure it out. She gives you the tools, their explanations and formulas as to what to look for in a stock and how to go about making that decision. I think it is a great book for those of us who have just recently entered the market. Though I do not agree 100% percent with everything she states (i.e. selling because a stock drops 10% of your purchase price I believe would be costly). I am a long term investors and not a day trader or a person interested in making a quick buck. I am in it for the long run (retirement). I believe a good solid company should not be sold just because it has hit hard times, if its product is solid and there is a market for it and it has a solid foundation. One should read several books on the subject and take the best from all and,most importantly make decisions based on ones on research. I think Ms. Stav makes that perfectly clear that her rules and explanations do have exceptions. One must use commons sense. This book will give the novice a great insight into how the professionals decipher the stock terminology and amply them to a company. I also highly suggest books by Charles B. Carson.

Summary: Ms. Stav has a great deal to share!
Review: I recently had the pleasure of meeting Julie Stav on the plane to Chicago while she was in the midst of her book tour. She very generously gave me a copy of her book to read. I must say that I am a dummy when it comes to the stock market -- I have NO interest in investing at all. I am her perfect target market. I found her enthusiasm about her subject infectious and this is certainly evident in her book. She is genuinely concerned about giving people the knowledge and power to take financial control of their lives by investing in the stock market. The information as presented was clear and intelligent. Her book was also a very enjoyable read and the analogies helped me make sense of this confusing subject. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it -- and meeting this most interesting and intelligent author. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to get their share! I am going to get mine! Thanks again and best wishes to you Julie!

Summary: Great Read
Review: This is a great book and Julie's a riot. Even though this book is directed at women, I really enjoyed what it had to teach. Her system for investing and understanding the financial markets is clear and makes sense. As an added bonus, I even learned a bit about the female psyche. So now I have tips to succeed not only with the stock market, but also with the important women in my life! This book is worth the read-buy it!
