First, the good part. The information is presented as several themes which may give you food for thought. The analysis of these themes is fairly complete. The author is knowledgeable about investing and the investment ideas he presents.

Now, the parts that I didn't like. Overall, this was a hodgepodge of information, and this was not unique information. (Pick up any issue of a personal finance magazine and you could probably find several similar themes.) There was no value-add of actually pulling this hodgepodge of information together into something you could use as a complete plan. You could probably implement pieces of this into your investment plan, but it's not a complete plan.

I found this book annoying. The author struck me as pompous and often expressed his political views. I would not buy this book again, but I'm giving it a 3 instead of a 2 because there is good information.

I would recommend that you check out instead The Perfect Portfolio: A Revolutionary Approach to Personal Investing . I found that more informative, and it has the advantage of being updated on the internet.

I find this book to be a very informative read and it serves as an important "playbook" that covers investing themes that will be very pertinent for the next couple of decades. I particularly like its conciseness on summarizing key emerging investing trends that should assist the more knowledgeable investors today in re-organizing their portfolio. I was also very grateful for the fact the author has provided examples in each group/theme so that I can use them as reference points when I am doing my own due diligence, comparing them to other stocks or ETFs in the same categories. This helps to save me a lot of time if I were to pick something from scratch. Overall, I consider this book to be an important book that I will be referring to from time to time as I update my own investment portfolio.
