Amazon.com Review
The completely revised and updated fifth edition of The 100 Best Stocks to Own in America offers financial analyst Gene Walden's choices for the stocks best poised for long-term growth. It is especially appropriate for small- and first-time investors. Each entry--including 24 new to this edition--is rated on 5-year earnings-per-share growth, 10-year stock growth, 3-year dividend yield, 5-year dividend growth, consistency of year-to-year earnings gains over a 10-year period, and shareholder perks. Brief profiles of each company include a fiscal snapshot and contact information.

From Library Journal
According to the author (and many investment advisors), investing in the stock market over the long term is a key to success. Walden picks 100 company stocks that, over a period of many years, have done what he believes to be the best in terms of earnings, dividends, shareholder perks, and dividend yield. Each company is rated in a simple system described in the introduction. The introduction also gives investment advice and urges the reader to use the library for further research. Simple language and ease of use are attractive features of this book, which does not provide such detailed information as that in the Standard & Poor's, Moody's , or Value Line series, but is an inexpensive alternative for libraries that cannot afford expensive advisory services. Fortune Book Club selection.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fast and easy read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The 100 Best Stocks to Own in America (Paperback)
This book is an easy and informative read for selecting blue chip stocks. I still have the first edition and it is interesting to see how many stocks are gone from the original 100. My only problem with his book is the rating system. I do not believe that shareholder perks should have the same weight as stock growth and earnings growth.

The 100 Best Stocks to Own in America( 7th edition),
By John H Carney (Dallas, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 100 Best Stocks to Own in America (7th Edition) (Paperback)
I am ordering another copy for a friend. This book could be my money manager of the future. I read 6th edition at the local library and that led me to the 7th. It cuts to the quick fast. Saves a lot of homework. I am going to cross reference this with John Slather's book and load up where they agree with Value Line
