Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! 2138 reviews
Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter
Business Plus, 2000
Fantastic Book
This book is amazing. I would recommend this to any at any age. I read this in High School and it changed my life. I now own a successful startup company and it is all thanks to the rich dad series for inspiring me to NOT GET A JOB! I recently bought this for my 13 year old brother in law as well. It is not a HOW TO but rather a THINK ABOUT how to!

Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World264 reviews
James J. Cramer
Simon & Schuster, 2005
Great Listening. A must for amateurs like me
Very easy to understand book. The author knows the audience very well and the strong and weak points about them. He has tried honestly hard to make sure the amateur stock investors learn the tricks of the game and equip themselves with knowledge they need before venturing into a brutal game of stock investment.

Jim Cramer's Stay Mad for Life: Get Rich, Stay Rich (Make Your Kids Even Richer)43 reviews
James J. Cramer
Simon & Schuster, 2007
His Best Book Yet
At last, Jim Cramer has written a book for real people. The other ones were useful, but this one finally addresses the issues that affect retired investors, non-millionaires and others who are not out simply to make a fast buck off the market. I recommend this highly to anyone seeking some good basic advice with the Cramer touch.

Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (Lynn Sonberg Books) 208 reviews
Peter D. Schiff, John Downes
Wiley, 2007
If you don't like this book, you probably don't understand economics
I've noticed quite a few reviews that refer to this book as "self promotion", or "an advertisement for his services". These individuals are unwittingly divulging their anti-capitalist views. What is wrong with a person who is confident in what he believes and the services he provides? He is offering value for value. If these people believe there is something wrong with making money, why don't ...

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets373 reviews
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2005
Fooled by Randomness - every day!
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is an extremely insightful individual with an equally impresive gift for storytelling.
His basic thesis is that although we like to think of our lives as ordered and predictable, they are extremely prey to random chance, and are in fact far far more so than most of us can even understand. We create delusions of predictabilty, mentally rewriting our own history in order to ...

Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story18 reviews
David Einhorn
Wiley, 2008
A "must read" for all individual investors
If you manage your own investments, and especially if you buy individual stocks, this book is a "must read" for you. It will open your eyes about the risks of owning individual company stocks. Few people have the ability to research a company the way the author's hedge fund can. Even with those resources Greenlight hasn't been able to force Allied Capital to come clean about their dishonest ...

The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing 192 reviews
Jason Kelly
Plume, 2007
So much Great Info Packed into a little Book
I just finished reading this book for the second time and I can't say enough about it. It walks you through systematically from having no investing knowledge to a solid foundation built on a structured plan of action based on research, not emotion.
Jason takes advice from the masters of investing and ties it into a very workable strategy.
Get this book, you won't be dissappointed.

The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing. A Book of Practical Counsel (Revised ...121 reviews
Benjamin Graham, Jason Zweig
HarperBusiness Essentials, 2003
Attitude is the key to get profits
Graham's viewpoint is based on Amrican stock market, but very useful in emerging markets too. Though rarely heard in Taiwan, Mr. Graham has inspired me in making smart investment in the local stock market. I, for the last two years, have been going over this book and surprisingly find how insightful Graham are in looking at the basic human nature in the market. Attitude, rather than the ...

How To Make Money In Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad, 3rd Edition212 reviews
William J. O'Neil
McGraw-Hill, 2002
Useful And Valuable Information.
I haven't traded one share of stock in the Market...yet. With that having been said, I figured, if you're going to get advice about how to be successful in the Market, you may as well go to someone who knows. William J. O'Neil has been trading since the early 1960's. He bought a seat on the Exchange in 1963. William J. is also the founder of Investor's Business Daily (IBD). If you are interested ...

Business Plus, 2000
Another Great Book From The Author Of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad'
This was the second of this author's books that I've read, the first being 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad'. Once again Robert Kyosaki delivered and lived up to his reputation of being an easy-to-read writer and an author with much positive information to share. He's had tremendous success with his book series and deservedly so.
The ability to make money is pertinent to us all. Some of us want loads of ...

John C. Bogle

This is truly common sense
This is an excellent book for any investor. The straight common sense advice that this book provides will help everyone with their investment portfolios. The best quote from the book is "the miracle of compounding interest is overwhelmed by the tyranny of cost". Through index funds, the author explains how to cut costs and caption the return of the entire stock market. This is an excellent ...

When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management206 reviews
Roger Lowenstein
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2001
Entertaining read on complex subject
It's a common story, a group of extremely talented and smart individuals done in by their own hubris, greed, and carelessness. What distinguishes this story from others is that we get a reasonably lucid description of the complex world or hedge funds and exotic investments. There is also good storytelling here of a largely unkown firm of a couple hundred people, that nearly took down several ...

A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World's Greatest Market31 reviews
Jim Rogers
Random House, 2007
China is the place to be!
I want to start off by saying this was an extremely interesting book. I read it fast. This book is a no nonsense view of what is taking place in China as well as a kind of "how to guide" for investing there. It is very broad based and should be a part of everyone's library especially for anyone wondering how they can invest successfully in China this book gives quite a few answers to that ...

Solid advice for funding your life
In a nutshell Malkiel's advice is to own your own home, buy no-load index funds (equities and bonds), buy international index funds, and mix your investments according to your age. You should also have medical and plain term life insurance, and cash on hand for a few months in case of an emergency. This book is a complete course in how to manage your money effectively, whether you're a ...

Profit from the Peak: The End of Oil and the Greatest Investment Event of the Century (Angel Series)7 reviews
Brian Hicks, Chris Nelder
Wiley, 2008
Read It Or Weep
Profit From The Peak is one of those rare works that not only decodes what is an esoteric and dense subject, but puts forth the information without bias, and without spin.
Personally, I think this volume has within its covers information that can make the reader a fortune. And, Heaven forbid, if things really go off the deep end, it could literally be a life saver.
I've been reading ...
