Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this personal memoir, octogenarian investor and columnist Westheimer reveals the same cautious approach to investing that often made him the target of Louis Rukeyser's gentle ribbing as a panelist for Wall Street Week. Westheimer followed in his father's footsteps to become a stockholder, and his conservative investment advice stems from his childhood memories of observing his father struggle through the 1929 crash and subsequent Depression. Typical Westheimer advice is to pay off debt before investing. Much of the wisdom that Westheimer purveys can also be found in current books such as The Beardstown Ladies' Commonsense Investment Guide (LJ 1/95). Readers with an interest in the author may find this intriguing; otherwise, only the most complete collections need to consider.?Joseph Barth, U.S. Military Acad. Lib., West Point, N.Y.
