5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Old timer Investor Masterpiece!, December 4, 2007

By	Erik "Easy" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

What a great, great book! I don't usually leave reviews, but I am something of an investing book guru, because I own dang near all of them. In the past year or so I've read 12 "penny stock" books and (while this isn't entirely all about penny stocks) this the best one hands down. Aside from being an entertaining read, this book is filled with information regarding sectors I never thought about for penny stocks. This book is worth whatever I paid for it just for his one single penny stock strategy. Let alone he gives his whole investment strategy is this 100 or so page book. I enjoyed reading this book and wish the author would write more, because his hatred for the wall street hypocrit/coward nearly matches mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book opened an entire new world to me!, January 30, 2009

By	Mark Hopkins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book opened an entire new world to me! Fred does an excellent job of making a case for investing in scarce resources that WILL go up--gold, silver, oil, etc. Then he shows step by step how to find absolute rock bottom bargains on oil, silver, gold, and other stocks. This is not your run of the mill book.

My favorite discussion in the book is on penny mining stocks. These are stocks that give you incredible leverage because they cost anywhere from .05+ a piece. Not only do you get leverage but you also make enormous sums if these stocks go up even a few cents. And the risk is minimum because you can buy a ton of stock when their price is so low.

Not only was the book an excellent read but it also entirely and permanently opened up a new world to me. It changed my paradigm completely! Out of all the books on investing I have read (I read 1 or 2 a month and have been doing so for some time), this is one of the top two I have read!
