Critic reviews

“More interested in producing strong returns without big risk rather than following what's trendy...the long-term record is stunning.” —Morningstar

“One of the country's most successful money managers.” —Fortune magazine

Practical

The thing I loved about this book was that it provided practical information. Many of the things I have read regarding value investing thus far have been vague and very broad. This book actually spells out what you should be looking for and where. It offers insights that are useful and although value investing is somewhat of an art, I would still go as far as to say that it gives you a systematic framework to follow.

Excellent book covering Basics of Value Investing

To reiterate, covers the BASICS. Very easy to listen to and audible covers word for word the exact text if you have the books, so easy read/listen along.

Good introductory book.

In this time of quick-wins, here-and-now, this is a good reminder of more reliable long-term investing strategies. Quite a few ideas worth following up, in more details.

Enjoyable and Informative

Will not really close the deal on mechanics but worthwhile. An enjoyable reminder of things maybe forgotten.

Great book, and a must to listen to.

Great information to listen to. This is as easy as it can get when it comes to learning about value investing.

Worth your time.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Quality information for anyone looking into value investing. Good read.

Quick introduction to value investing

Any additional comments?

Value investing is the approach of many of the greatest investors in history... the idea of evaluating a business based upon the fundamentals of the business, and only buying it when it is selling at a good price is the foundation of this approach. This book is one that provides a good introduction to the approach.

Really liked it even if nothing new under the sun

Nothing new, but I really liked some interesting nuggets. I really loved the comparison of Value investing with Planting crops. And watching grass it's really mind opening.

This Book Names Names

This relatively short book is full of a lot of good information. What I like best about it is that it is not just theory: It names names for model dividend based stock portfolios. The book's website provides updated information on the stocks named and the top 1500 stocks in the S&P.

Great Introduction to Value Investing

Loved the book. It's a great introduction to the way of stock market investing called Value Investing. The book gives great insights on the differences between Value and other strategies of stock investing. This is a must for anyone interested in long term, sustained growth in their portfolio as well as fundamentally analyzing companies for potential investments.
