I just recommended this book to a driver who has received an inheritance and is wanting to put it in the market. He found out I'm retired stock broker and asked for my advice. I suggested he read this book before acting.
I held back one star because I feel the book is missing a chapter which should be a conglomeration of the basics of short selling, options, derivatives, limited partnerships and commodities, not as suggested investments but to help investors avoid them. Perhaps they should be covered in appendices.
