Great way to start looking... by Dustin Owen (West Palm Beach, FL) 5 Stars
September 07, 2009
I bought this book a few years ago, and it was the first book I read about stocks. I loved it, it gave me a basic understanding of the subject, and encourage me to invest for myself. I always intended on being a trader, not an investor, but this book still gave a lot of value to me. Now, when people ask me about stocks I just offer them to borrow this book from me.
I don't think the book will give you what you need to be a great investor, but the platform in which to build from. The basic concept of what is going on. So buy this book if you have no experience, and want an easy read.

Recommendations of Book are fundamentally flawed and produce poor results by Daniel G. George  1 Stars
August 21, 2009
The whole thesis of the book is that because stocks rise over time, buying a leveraged ETF will effectively double your return. How could he write an entire book without realizing that the outcome of this investment strategy is disastrous?
These leveraged ETFs are realized on a daily basis. This makes a leveraged ETF a horrible long term investment. For example, if the stock market goes up and down over the course of a year but ends up with no net change over the course of a year, you would expect a doubling of that to result in 0% change, because 2*0=0... However, you will find that due to daily movements and realizations of the fund, it will result in between 10-30% losses over the course of a year if you had used a leveraged ETF. The more volatile the market, the larger the losses over a long period of time. HOW COULD HE FAIL TO SEE THIS AFTER WRITING AN ENTIRE BOOK DEDICATED TO THIS STRATEGY????
Do you need proof? Just look at how this fund REALLY does compared to the market!
If you still don't believe, work it out in Excel by entering random returns each day. Have a column for market returns and a column for doubling the daily returns. You'll see that in the long run, the leveraged solution fails.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK... You will be a better investor by not reading it.

Good introduction to stock market investing by Mariusz Skonieczny (ClassicValueInvestors.blogspot.com) 5 Stars
August 13, 2009
The author argues that people should own stocks for two reasons: 1) because they allow individuals to own successful companies, and 2) because they've been the best investments over time. This book is a great and simple introduction to stocks. It explains the basic concepts such as how stocks trade, preferred stocks vs. common stocks, dividends, stock splits, IPOs, and investment philosophies.
Chapter 2 features investment masters such as Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Philip Fisher, Benjamin Graham, and many others. All of these managers have different styles and readers can learn that it is possible to make money and be different.
Chapter 5 discusses topics such as choosing the right discount broker and placing orders. Chapter 6 is the most valuable chapter in my opinion. The author shows investors how to research stocks and what tools to use. Without good research, nothing matters. This book provides a good introduction to stock market investing, and I highly recommend it to beginning investors.
