Practical book

Very useful, practical book to read and learn from. I would highly recommend it. However, I feel like I could summarize his whole message into one sentence: it's probably best to stick with low-cost, passively managed index funds that invest in the whole market.
Regardless, here's a few highlighted lessons learned:
- Types of investment, Common Investment Packages
- Costs compound just as returns do. Each fund's returns percentage is higher than what you'll actually get, so keep an eye on those costs and keep 'em low.
- Simplify your portfolio. All you really need are a few passively managed index funds. Active managers rarely outperform the benchmark index.
- And, to quote from the man himself: "The More the Managers Take, the Less the Investors Make." So rely less on middle-man advisors, if you can help it.
There are other great tidbits that you'll find in the book. All in all, I'd recommend it and, again, to borrow something from the book: "Don't take my word for it", follow the other reviewers' recommendations if you want your fair share of market returns.

too soon old, too late smart.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I wish that they had required it in high school or college...oh well, too soon old, too late smart.
The book tells in detail how to analyze securities and the commentary chapters give recent, headline making, examples of the folly of the stock market.

Last book on investing

Read it, act, or forget it, like many other truths you have ever read. Amazingly clear and easy to understand, yet mostly ignored advice. It may be the last book on investing you may ever have to read.

A very introductory book.

Bought it for my nephew who expressed interest in a stock market. Wanted to start him with something basic. This book is exactly what I was looking for. A very introductory book that covers a lot of subjects in a clear and concise way.
