2.0 out of 5 stars Under $20 and not going anywhere., December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The 100 Best Stocks to Own for Under $20 (Paperback)

After reviewing over half the stocks in this book, I found only two I would consider purchasing. Most have gone down or gone nowhere. I still enjoy Gene Walden's book "The 100 Best Stocks to Own in America" but this book did nothing for me. Also, was surprised he had so little technology stocks in the book.

This review is from: The 100 Best Stocks to Own for Under $20 (Paperback)

After following and/or investing in about 15 of these stocks, I have been pleasantly surprised. I'd say on average, their stock prices have doubled. However, I don't think it is worth buying the book anymore because these stocks are no longer undervalued.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just another tip., May 10, 2007

This review is from: The 100 Best Stocks to Own for Under $20 (Paperback)

This book is ok. I bought it back in 00'. Choose one company Interface, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ: IFSIA) out of the whole book. Bought it under $10, trading around $16, still under $20 though. No big deal.
