A Time Capsule Worth Reading...And Remembering,
By Dr. Joe Duarte "J. Duarte www.joe-duarte.com" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CBS Marketwatch Stories Behind the Numbers: How America Made a Fortune and Lost Its Shirt (Hardcover)
There will be another market bubble some day. But Enron, Tyco, Worldcom, and the rest of Wall Street's fallen giants have built a dark legacy for historians and investors who believed that stocks would never fall from their inflated levels of the 1990s.It is here, in the midst of that dark legacy that Gelsi and Calandra have provided a ray of light. These two gifted journalists have taken the easy flowing 'Net style of writing enjoyed by millions of readers of the seminal investment Web Site, CBS Marketwatch, into book form and have provided investors with an excellent account of the travails of the "person on the street" during that historic period in the stock market. The book is full of anecdotes and outside the box thinking that are written in a nice easy flowing style that won't bore and will provide plenty of humor and insight into how mass hysteria and hype can be shaped into a phenomenon, as well as its consequences when the house of cards crumbles. This is a very pleasant, short read, that is highly recommended for all who want to see the non Wall Street view of what took place in the greatest market bubble of all time, as well as to learn to avoid many pitfalls along the way. Joe Duarte author of "Successful Biotech Investing."

This review is from: CBS Marketwatch Stories Behind the Numbers: How America Made a Fortune and Lost Its Shirt (Hardcover)
I found this to be an extremely useful book that takes a non Wall Street approach to the market and offers common-sense strategies for the individual investor. It was a quick and easy read and provided an array of anecdotes that are geared at helping the average investor like me. I highly recommend this book to all individual investors who want to learn about how other investors are handling the volatility of the stock market.

Reader,
By A Customer
This review is from: CBS Marketwatch Stories Behind the Numbers: How America Made a Fortune and Lost Its Shirt (Hardcover)
This book isn't always hard-hitting, but it does bring up some of the hardships brought about by the bear market. With the pundits disgraced, it's helpful to see what every day investors have to say about the market. For Wall Street professionals, the book also provides a look into the minds of the folks they're trying to woo. The book doesn't promise to make anyone rich, but it does deliver rich lessons in the stock market from the perspective of Main Street.
