I think that John Wiley & Sons have some of the most informative and well written books on personal finance and 20/20 Money is another great addition to my personal finance library.

In 20/20 Money the author explores an aspect of finance that has always fascinated me - the "oneness" of the stock market, that is what I call the "almost sheep like mentality" when it comes to the stock market. Everytime I hear about a massive sell out of stocks I always ask myself "what would happen if everyone said to themselves "I am not selling this stock right now" - obviously, there would not be a massive sell off and the stock would remain strong (or at the least stronger).

In 20/20 Money, the author explores more than just the day to day ups and downs of the market, but also takes a close look at the relationship between the market and the psychology of the people involved in it - and the extremely close relationship between the two. I found this the most fascinating part of this book.

20/20 Money is written in a concise and informative way - challenging us to look beyond the mere 1-2-3 of the stork market and to start investing in a different way - this book has its merits as I believe that we cannot continue to invest in the markets in the ways that we have been doing for the last 50 years???

I have taken down quite a few of the suggestions in this book and I intend to try them - I figure I may just get ahead of the game a little bit.

This is a very informative book - if you are willing to think outside the box a little bit.

It isn't worth even one star. Very badly written without real substance. I can't comprehend why any rational publisher would publish books like this one, except all expenses are paid and written off by the writer or his employer as a publicity or advertising "stunt". Very poorly and mindlessly written, yak!
