4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for new investors of any age!, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Investment Lessons from the Wizards of Wall Street: The Pros' Secrets for Running with the Bulls Without Losing Your Shirt (Paperback)

Although my husband and I are fairly sophisticated investors, the title of this book appealed to us. It's written in an easy to read style, without complicated graphs and charts and without a lot of investment jargon. For us, it was interesting to read how the pros on Wall Street pick their stocks -- to "get into their heads" a little-- by reading the profiles. However, this book is really ideal for the novice investor, because it covers many topics and is a terrific overview. The lessons are short, but we see that as an advantage for someone who is new to investing. If the lessons were too long or too complicated, a new investor might not stick with the book long enough to finish it. There is a lot of information in this book. In fact, we're recommending it to some friends who want to get into the stock market, but have no idea where to begin. They would have to spend months reading to learn what's condensed in this book. The book also helps would-be investors learn about sources of information on the Internet (and other places). We think this is a great first book for anyone who wants to get an overview of investing.

There is a saying amongst traders that the best way to learn is to lose money. That money lost is often referred to as "tuition." This book has helped me stop paying "tuition" to the market. The advice in this book is timeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-threatening, entertaining and filled with great advice, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Investment Lessons from the Wizards of Wall Street: The Pros' Secrets for Running with the Bulls Without Losing Your Shirt (Paperback)

This superb book is easy to read but there is so much information in it you have to read it a couple of times to fully appreciate what is being written.

The author does a great job of objectively summarizing all the expert advice by some very famous investors. It is obvious Mr. Sincere spent alot of time researching his subject. He is able to convey his ideas without getting technical and boring, one of the problems with other financial books, except for the Fool books.

The section I found most entertaining and helpful was when he wrote about the danger signals and pitfalls to avoid. All in all, well written and one of the better books about the market.
