Summary: wonderful
Comment: a wonderful book that i'm glad i read before beginning to invest. full of very helpful information.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Learn from the masters, but don't assume you can replicate them.
Comment: The book is written well, and contains a good synthesis of the wisdom from investment gurus like Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, and Bill O'Neil. Some people say that there is "nothing original" in this book; but I'd prefer a good round-up of proven techniques from real gurus rather than an unproven brand new "idea".
But I'd like to inject a note a realism. Just because these techniques have worked for some successful investors in the past, it doesn't mean that you will make them work in the future.
It all sounds so simple:
1) The stock market has been the best place to invest historically. [I say: but not over the last 10 years]
2) If you can find a ten-bagger stock you can turn $10,000 into $100,000 in a single investment. Re-invest the $100,000 in another ten-bagger and you have $1,000,000 after two trades! [I say: It's possible; but don't confuse 'possible' with 'probable'.]
3) All you need to do is find a sound company, with great products, with good growth potential, which is currently undervalued for some reason. [I say: determining that a company is undervalued based on its fundamental ratios is not proven beyond doubt by my own recent research.]
When reading any stock market book, even a good one like this, I think that a degree of healthy scepticism is a good thing. Learn from the masters, but don't assume that you can replicate them.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not worh the money
Comment: This book does not offer much than can be found publicly or is common sense. Look at some of the other higher rated books.
