Summary: This time, I want to know what I'm doing
Review: 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.

Summary: Interesting ideas, clear layman advice
Review: I rarely buy books about investment because I am afraid that the advice will be too complex. I let others choose my stocks and then hope it somehow will work out. Entirely by accident, I bought this book. What I liked about it, from browsing through it in the store, was its clear language. I could understand its common-sense advice. This book paid off since I was able to get the advice that grabbed my curiosity, was clear and to the point. It gave me some pointer as to who to trust with such important decisions like chosing where I put my money. Due to the souring economy, it's so important to educate yourself as you make your investment choices. This book was invaluable tool for me and a great starting point.

Summary: Thumbs up !!
Review: 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.
