I've read several "for Dummies" books, and in general the entire series is well written, concise, and gives you what you really need. However, I was very disappointed in this one. The book is...
The "Dummies" franchise is built on giving accessible information quickly. This book has the information, but loses points on the "quickly" portion. There's a lot of writerly throat-clearing. Some...
This is a well written book and worth reading for anyone who is just starting to invest. I think the advice given in this book is very good. It will help you develope a plan for making your money...
I like books that demonstrate what really works using empirical evidence, rather than what should work based on an author's latest theory. So I like this book.
Like most investing book, this one tries to point the reader to relationships between published accounting parameters that could suggest superior returns over long term ( 25+, 50+ years).
I've read the comments about this being a "What DOESN'T Work on Wall Street" reference but I tend to disagree. The comments seem myoptic in they only are looking at the short-term. This book out...
I absolutely loved how the author explained the growth trap. Many of investors think that in order to strike it rich, they need to invest in companies that experience high growth. But this may not...
The Future for Investors has some really great points - the main one being that the compounding power of reinvested dividends should be a significant consideration in stock selection. I agree with...
The book does not measure up to how professional traders trade
This book is really basic and it will help you get an understanding on how to buy and sell stocks. However, advanced or even mid-level subjects are not covered at all. Trading is not that simple....
My second reading of the same book, and still great.
This is my second reading (the other was the 2nd edition) of How to Make Money in Stocks within two weeks. What is different this time is that I made extensive notes from each chapter and typed...
* I know nothing about the stock market until I read this book. * Very well explain on how to tackle the market during good times or bad. * Even you know nothing about...
The Love Languages of God: How to Feel and Reflect Divine Love
This was a great read! I originally purchased the book because of a book club at my church. This was our first book reading and we all enjoyed reading it. When we came together to talk about it, we...
Chapman starts off saying the book is not meant to be a religious book, so I believe some of the comments are unfair. Some readers may have gone in with expectations too high. I do think the book...
When I first read the original "Five Love Languages" book I kept thinking, "Gee, this should be applied to the various ways we can express our love to God. God certainly desires quality time with...
Whilst I am sure there are some pearls of wisdom contained in this book it is an extremely difficult book to read as a result of the language and phraseology used.
There are useful ideas in this book but I find it is so difficult to read. We definitely need to apply the right strategy to suit the market cycle but do we need to have too many entry set-ups?...
I have read this book close to three times. Its pages are now worn from use and travel. It is the single book to which I attribute the majority of my market knowledge and trading success. I have...
Many books have been written about Warren Buffet's way of picking the right stocks at the right time, and many audio programs have been recorderd, but this one is the most sound, concise and...
This book tries to reverse-engineer Warren Buffett's investment strategy and does a horrible job of it. Like all of Mary Buffett's books, this is long on hype and short on credibility.
This book is more than just understanding Wall Street. It explains the history of Wall Street and how stocks are bought and sold, but it also teaches readers how to invest in the stock market. This...
I had hoped this would be a clearly written and interesting explanation of the general workings of the stock market for someone who has never really understood it. But it goes into far too much...
Unless you are a novice investor, what you're paying for is the "magic formula" given in the middle of the book. The rest is a simplied version of how the market works.
I am a great fan of Joel Greenblatt. This book is very simple to understand and for some more advanced investors, it may be too simple. But, I personally like simplicity because I think that people...
I read the entire book and found several faults with his presentation, in particular, he left out several data sets and just *says* that they performed well. He also did not present directions on...
I really don't understand the 1 star reviews regarding this excellent book. Makes me wonder if this reviewer just has a personal issue with RTK and his people. I have yet to read any articulate...
Dolf brings good points about property 1) having more control than paper assets 2)Leverage 3)Tax benefits 4)How inflation works in your favor But a bit of it is overly...
It felt good the first time --and still good for the firstimer
There is nothing detailed or even intellectually satisfying in this book. But I think the one thing that it does do is, (as another reviewer put it,) is to cheerlead. This book was exciting as it...
Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton; recognition consultants; have written an updated version of their 2007 book - The Carrot Principle `How the best managers use recognition to engage their people,...
I did not have so much high expectation on this book. I only wished if I could had taken away a new idea or two. Even the slight expectation has been met. No substance at all.
As global market competition increases the focus on retaining effective and productive employees is ever more intensive. Consequently, empowering employees with substantive rewards is a powerful...
Sease seems to me like a man with a good head on his shoulders. He understands the market very well and simplifies it for the average investor. We are all looking to make more money while spending...
Seven Years to Seven Figures- A Review by A. Railkar
I read this book within a week and half and found it was very interesting. However, I wish there was a little more step by step guide to how. But you do get the feel for what are the common threads...
I bought this with a sense of excitement. One of the previous reviewers noted that the only person capable of generating seven figures in seven years is the author. Too true and this book is just a...
I am rating the book 3 stars because if you are an avid early to rise reader as I am there is nothing new for you in this book unless you are lacking motivation. The 8 stories demonstrating how...

I tried to listen to this audio book and couldn't. While the advice in it is good - I've subscribed to the e-mail newsletter in the past - the arrogant tone of the reader is too much for me....
an nurturing approach to gaining control of your finances
I've read the other Fool books -- this one is much more basic and covers much more than just stock picking methods. If you believe that your financial advisor is a real expert, or you have credit...
Save your money, do not buy this book. This book is a mere repetition of an age old idea of buy and hold strategy. WE ALL KNOW THAT. There is nothing new about the idea. Better spend your money on...
If you are looking for something on Wealth Management, this is **not** the product you want. It is a set of 4 pep talks on "success" and investing in real estate. They may be interesting so someone...
My brother has his MBA, pasted his Series 7 and is currently working in "finical planning" field. He knew that I was trying to make the best out of my savings and investments (IRA, money market,...

If you have a BCP to develop and don't want to engage expensive consultants to perform the basic ground work, this is an excellent resource for initial BCP development. The CD contains most of the...
Mr. Bates claims to cover the 3 step process. He never identified the steps, keeps clearing his throat throughout the 39 minutes of oral presentation (disgusting).
The CD had possibilities but ended up very weak. I would put the information on this CD worth $4.95 and that is being generous. 18.95 is way over priced for the information enclosed. Not worth...
Thank Goodness I Listened Before I Committed Any Sins
I absolutely appreciate authors who give me usable information. But I absolutely love it when their information is delivered in a manner that makes it as clear and emphatic as "The Deadly Sins of...
In this fourth installment of the Wall Street Money Machine series, financial expert Wade Cook teaches you how to work spreads. How to make money when the market goes up, down or sideways. This is...
