Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!

5 Stars for the content; 1 Star for Audible.
Great stuff! I'm excited about becoming a Rule#1 investor and have ordered the book. So I recommend you consider learning these skills and practicing this approach to investing.
Unfortunately - for me at least - there are too many critical references to calculations, tables and lists of numerical data that make Rule #1 entirely inappropriate for an audio book. I might feel otherwise if the author and Audible were to make this key information available in downloadable PDF format (the way that "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins does on this website). Imagine someone reading the financial tables of a newspaper to you while you try to draw a chart of it in your mind and you'll understand what I mean.
That said, the segments that are less focused on numerical calculations and analysis offer some great learning value in the form of an audio stream.

I can't wait to get my hands on the book!

- Hope this helps!

Again I would give the hardcover book five stars but the Audible format 3. Not that the Audible format isn't well done and the narration is excellent. It's just that you need the book too. If I were to buy again I would buy the abridged version and the hardcover.

Anyway, I found myself up 'till 5:00am with my MP3 player, the book, and my laptop browsing msn.money.com and the website given in the book. It was a bit of an overload but enjoyable information. I'll start paper trading in a few days and see how I do. It's an exciting prospect.

I have gone through dozens of books on investing lately and this is by far the best. The entire process of finding, buying and selling exceptional stocks is outlined step-by-step. This is not about some magic formula, this about finding stocks that have meaning to you, and would be proud to own, then doing a little homework to determine whether the stock meets fundamental criteria he believes crucial to growing companies. He shows you exactly where to find this information and the tools he uses to get in and out of market. A lot of his ideals are based on those of Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham but updated for the modern age of internet.

After being a somewhat of a day trader over past couple of years, I believe this is a great compromise between old school buy hold and short term investing. I cant wait to get started...

Rule #1 investing is an excellent book however the content requires a hard copy to follow all the charts and numbers. I will end up buying the hard-copy before I listen to the audio a second time. This is somewhat of a workbook that requires pen and paper note taking.

This is an excellent book covering the basics of investing. I found that I needed to order the hardcover book as well, as much of the data on the audiobook is difficult to follow just by listening (a number of charts, formulas, and tables). Paired with the book, this is an excellent listen. As an audiobook alone, it is an enjoyable listen, but you won't get the full benefit of the text.

If you are looking for a book to help you take control of your own financial destiny then I can't think of one better than Rule #1. Take Phil Town up on his offer to show you, step by step, how to invest like Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham.
Hey,I am never going to have the time to be a day trader. Neither am I willing to sit back and hope that my mutual fund manager does better than last year. Instead, this book offers a no-nonsense approach based on finding great values and waiting for your opportunity to buy them at a discount. I was immediately impressed by the logic behind this method, though I had lots of questions. Questions like: "How do you know what the true value of a company is?" and "How do you know when to make your move?" Sure enough, all of my questions were answered by the time I finished the book.
I am frankly excited about trying this for myself. I see very little downside (after all, rule number one is "don't lose anything!") and I see the upside as being very, very good indeed.

I haven't tried the investment methods prescribed in the book yet, but it seemed to make perfect sense especially after reading up on Warren Buffet. What I like the most about this book are the baby steps that Phil walks us through. I love the myths of investing section in the beginning of the book and the criticism of diversification and dollar cost averaging based on the assumed rationality of the market. Love the fact that we wouldn't need to keep track of hundreds of companies and simply invest in a few companies we love.

OUTSTANDING BOOK... Like other people that wrote reviews, I had to buy the hard back for detailed STUDY, but the audible download allowed me the time to listen once through to get the main ideas. I read the hardback twice. Must have book... Simply the best book on investing i have ever read and one of the most useful books of all time. Phil Town has masterfully guided this boat down some treacherous waters. (listen to chapter one and you will know what I am talking about)... Can't write any more, I have to go research three companies ;-)

easy to understand for someone with no background. feel that i learned a bunch. but wish it had a reference guide to download for all the charts, graphs and examples. may buy the physical book for further understanding.

This is the first financial book that I have downloaded here and was quite impressed. As with most investment books it could probably could be summed up in 20 pages (max) but then why would anyone buy it be it either in print or download.
I found the information quite useful but it's one big (huge) failure is to include a data sheet(s) like the Jim Crammer books. I ended buying the book so I could get the formulas etc.
I haven't made my millions yet but the information is useful and relatively simple once you are able to extract it.
