The magazine's so great and accessible, I was thrilled to find out that SmartMoney has a book out on selecting stocks. It's apparent no one knows what's going on these days, after 9/11 and Enron. For me, the best part about this book explains their recommended combination of ratios to gauge a company's value. It's tips like that one that give me a little more confidence in terms of what to invest in. All around solid advice.

Smart Money writers know how to do their homework. They explain why even the most appealing stocks may not be right for your portfolio. This book explains--in understandable terms--how you can follow the stock market and buy the stocks that work for you, not every other investor. This is a concise and understandable investing book.

I was disappointed as to how little information was in this book. Additionally, several pages of the were printed out of sequence. I had the feeling this thing was thrown together. Some 64 of the book's 280 pages is a glossary. Don't waste your money. Shame on you Nellie and Peter.

This book is not well written and seemed like the sections were not in order. Morningstar's book on stock investing is the best...buy that one!

nice to have a coherent and sensible book about the market for once (especially considering how the market is now). the book laid out investment tips that i found really helpful. from smartmoney, though, what else would you expect?

This is not the best investment book I have ever read, but it does have some very interesting and helpful tips. I was dissapointed that the book is only 191 pages of actual "text," while the rest is a large glossary of investment terms not necessarily related to the discussions in the book. I think better books have been written on so-called "value investing" (the method used by Smartmoney). Try Michael Vick's "How to Pick Stocks like Warren Buffett."
