Price: $6.99 "Read this to overcome your fears of investing" - By evanascent
If you're someone like me who was really intimidated about the prospect of investing, I highly recommend this book. I read another similar book so I would have a point of comparison (Invest Like a Pro!), and this was definitely the better of the two (although it was helpful to read the other book as well). It's easy to follow and presents a well balanced view of what's out there without getting too technical and overly complicated (the additional links for extra reading are useful and highly appreciated). At the advice of the author, I have opened an account with IvyVest, which is AMAZING--super easy to use, well researched, and totally takes the intimidation factor (i.e. time and worry) out of investing, so that you can easily get started with 100% confidence. I'm SO happy I got this book, and definitely one of the most useful books I've read in ... full review(730) -

List Price: $19.99 Price: $18.99 You Save: $1.00 (5%) "Excellent book if you want to understand how Warren Buffett and value investors analyze financial statements" - By J.R. Hardin
After reading Warren Buffett's Three Favorite Books, I was excited to find installment two in the series. While the first book provides an outstanding foundation on the principles of value investing, this book takes the reader through Buffett’s methods for understanding key financial statements – balance sheets, cash flow statements and income statements. The book will appeal to the seasoned investor and neophyte alike because it is written in a clear, narrative format while also detailing which data and key ratios are important to the value investor.
The book balances the purely quantitative approach with the vitally important need for qualitative analysis. This book brings that elements of value investing together better than any other I’ve read.
Finally, the authors provide a straight forward discount cash flow calculation for approximating intrinsic value. Determining intrinsic value is essential for the value investor because a company ... full review(130) -

"Excellent Book for Beginners on Investing and Financial Freedom" - By Hoss
interested in investing and becoming financially free? If so, get this book. There are so many books out there on investing, but this one is a great place to start. It really breaks the process down into manageable chunks of information that someone new to investing can comprehend. If every young adult who is getting out into the world and beginning to earn an income read this book and applied the principles within, they would really set themselves up for a prosperous life and retirement. Most of the investing books on the market speak in complicated terms and delve too deep into a specific subject, whereas this one steps back and defines the different areas and ways one can invest as well as addressing common beginner mistakes and such.(52) -

Great reminder of the power of creating habits. Saving money is just like everything else in life. If you practice and do it consistently, it will become second nature. The author uses this book as a way to give you permission to do the things you've wanted for yourself all along but we're afraid you couldn't do. Ultimately you'll discover that you don't need anyone else's permission to set your goals and reach them.(3) -

"Worth purchasing" - By Hye Young
Such a very informing and impressive book! A well researched and proven method of contrarian investing. It shows you how to embrace, and not fear, a market crash with the goal of buying low and selling high, which few investors accomplish. It's really worth purchasing book for all planning in investing!(26) -

List Price: $17.00 Price: $9.69 You Save: $7.31 (43%) "Contains important information." - By E. Kerby (Salt Lake City, UT)
My husband and I have listened to some interviews with Jim Rickards before, and he has always seemed very intelligent and logical. My husband wanted this book for Christmas, I gave it to him, and we brought it along on our vacation.
Typically, when we go on vacation we bring 3-4 books along, and I read as my husband drives (or vice versa). We read until we get tired of a topic, and then we switch books so that we can hear something else for a few hours.
WELL, we started out this trip with half a chapter from a pregnancy-related book. Then we switched to Currency Wars, and my husband never wanted us to switch back! He even read some parts on his own when we weren't driving. Usually he just reads news and things online, or listens to audio; I don't ... full review(643) -

"Good read, this really changes your mindset about retirement" - By Hanson Le
At the of the day, if you want to retire you have to be making passive income. You need to make investments that will compound and make you more money. Basically have money working hard for you. What I learned is that retirement isn't just social security itself but you have to financially literate in order to really have a successful retirement plan and spend a good amount of time enjoying your hard work and labor. This is what I got from this book, so it was highly educational and got me thinking. I recommend this book.(13) -

List Price: $16.95 Price: $9.90 You Save: $7.05 (42%) "An excellent "financial smacker-in-the-face", this author is." - By Sp-Bck3000
One of the most important things I needed to learn of was the "power" of money. When talking about increasing Financial IQ, Kiyosaki goes into formulated details about types of money problems and how to deal with them. Muy importante, especially for someone like me who had no true financial wisdom background growing up. Today, though I still work at a factory, I'm still able to take numerous vacations.... (definitely due to better financial mgmt over the years).(149) -

List Price: $28.00 Price: $16.78 You Save: $11.22 (40%) "Useful, practical, and a necessity" - By A. I. - Love to read (Woodland, WA)
DCR, IRR, NOI, CAP rate ... the whole alphabet soup of real estate (and many can be applied to non-real estate business) financial ratios are all in this book. Every chapter starts off with the overall concept of the meaning of the ratio covered in that particular chapter, usually within one to two pages and then follows up with a few examples with concise and to the point explanations.
I almost bought some commercial properties with a business line of credit for downpayment and even made my own spreadsheet to do my due diligence. Try as I may, the numbers were putting me upside down and the interest rate on my proposed downpayment was really nagging at me and 'not working.' Mr. Gallinelli explains to us why that is so. He gets my two-thumbs up for saving my hide from financial ruin. Thank you, Frank, for explaining ALL the ... full review(171) -

"... Investing that I didn't know where to go for good information. Saw this had good reviews on Amazon ..." - By Dilli Miocic
There are so many books on Real Estate Investing that I didn't know where to go for good information. Saw this had good reviews on Amazon and got it. The author does a great job breaking down what you need to know and the methodology of finding the right property for you. Good read and can be read in a week. Helpful tables and spreadsheets to assist you in going forward. I thought it was helpful.(14) -

Price: $3.75 "Expand beyond a basic knowledge of personal finance!" - By Amazon Customer
You can't go wrong with professional advice from someone who's been a financial advisor for 25 years for the price of a book! This book provided a great look into everything from investing to estate planning. I particularly enjoyed his chapter on the Dividend Income Accelerator. He covers complicated topics that many other books don't - this is a great read if you want to expand beyond a basic knowledge of personal finance.(15)
