Misleading Title

CNN's Ali Velshi writes a book that provides an anecdotal, factually vague explanation of the current financial crisis, then proceeds to give advice that you can pick up from any stock broker out there, i.e. "diversify, diversify, diversify". Unfortunately, this is to be expected from a media pundit not paid to provide financial advice, but to entertain. There are better books out there, including Meltdown, that do a much better job of both explaining what happened and providing clues to how one should look at investing going forward.

Interesting

very good, told the story of the crash in a easy to understand way.

Bad Title

This is a good book about basic finance but has nothing to do with current economic conditions or how to regain loses in the market from recent down turn

Good Book

The begining of this book was great ... it would of been nice to here it in the mainstream media. I recommend it, good read.
