More seasoned investors will find a very neat chapter that summarizes the key points of investing strategies of such famous people as Buffet, Miller and Linch. This wonderful book is a must have companion in any serious investor's library. |

Easily Accessible |
What I liked best about Mr. Kelly's book was the accessibility of the text. It seems that in order to have an understanding of stocks and the stock market there are quite of few technical terms that need to be learned. Mr. Kelly introduces those terms with ease and elaborates on particular function to weave a coherent story that was easy to follow.
I have no background in business and would not consider myself business savvy at all. This text easily kept my attention and was quite inviting. I have already persuaded my friends to buy this book as well. |

I disagree |

I don't understand the rave about this book. Unless one is a total novice, this book is a waste of time. |

Good book on Investing |
|
Excellent for beginners. But it does not provide in details how to read financial reports and detect frauds. Along with this author needs to add detailed calculations of real life examples by comparing two well known financial results (e.g. Mcdonald vs burgerking or coke vs pepsi) |

Great fundamentals to gain confidence in your portfolio |
Before I bought this book, I was investing in various different stocks and ETFs I heard about from other people. I heard about the whole 10-11% historic return of the S&P 500 and put most of my money into SPY. I also took some advice from the so called pundits and ended up losing a bit of money from that. I didn't have much of a strategy other than buying index funds and stocks that other people told me would be great buys.
That has changed after reading this book.
In the beginning, Jason defines a lot of stock market terms that I was already mostly familiar with so that was review material.
Then he goes over the strategies of history's most successful investors, and that was quite interesting. They share a lot of common strategies, and it's good to know that there's no magic bullet. Good portfolios are built off solid fundamentals and investing in all around money making companies.
The most helpful part of the book was the section on building the list of stocks that make up your watch list. I pulled up a spreadsheet and entered in all the stocks I thought were strong along with a few I heard from other people and by looking at the numbers, I could see that some stocks were obviously better than others. I now have facts for choosing what to invest in rather than trusting what other people say. In addition, I've made some stock choices recently that have paid off because these companies continue to report solid growth and earnings.
I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't have an investing strategy. For anyone who feels lost in the wild fluctuations of the market, this book will give you a solid foundation for building a strong portfolio that you'll be proud to own. |
