Good start to your education

While the narration was a bit dry, consistent issue with unabridged books in my opinion, the topic was interesting. Its not and end all be all way to the stock market, but its a start.

Outstanding insight into stock investments and easy to digest

By far the best stock investment strategy book you will ever read. Easy to consume and full of insights.

Good read on careful investing

For a beginner looking to understand the risks of investing it was informative. Gives information on common pitfalls of investing.

Great book

I loved the book and applied the strategies on dividend investing. Good read, simple to understand to a newbie like me.

Quite good for my first/2nd Stock Investing Book

I will definitely go through again in the future or immediately again while i explore and enter the Stock Market

Very Substantive for a Short Book

Most investment books as short as this one are full of flowery language, personal stories, and attempted inspiration with little real substance.

Investing in One Lesson may sound like a “get rich quick from this one simple principle,” but it’s not. The first half of the book explains how stock markets actually work—what causes stock prices to vary so drastically, why in the short run stocks are not the same as investing in a company, but also why the stock market is still worthwhile and necessary for the economy as a whole.

The second half turns to strategies for investing. This section is also very substantive, offering concrete strategies and even lists many of his favorite specific stocks and funds. While he does talk a lot about the value of dividend stocks/funds, he’s not claiming that this is the only good strategy to take, and talks of several others as well.

Review

The book is very simple for the experienced investor; but it is well written, and it states helpful theories that can help investors at all levels.

Impressive book

I learned some things

Sound advice

Great book on fundamentals. Usually books of this nature have only one point and the rest of the book is absolutely useless and boring . This one gives you great information, quotes and insights on the way to the main point . I enjoyed it.

compelling book. let's see if it works.

Doesn't spend too much time on anything unrelated. every term used is defined at least once and it's great for beginner's.

second skousen book and im a big fan so far
