Maybe a 3.6. It becomes a bit redundant. However, I think we could all take a little more risk and become more accepting to ideas and suggestions. ]]> <![CDATA[Daryl added 'A Mathematician Plays The Stock Market']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66430139 to: A Mathematician Plays The Stock Market (Paperback) by John Allen Paulos
I'd really rate this 3.65. Maybe a 3 is too harsh. It was not really what I expected, because I was looking for a work that discusses more of a statistical analysis of risk, finding undervalued stock, calculating futures and other options. The book has some useful information, and several times Paulos runs off on an insignificant mathematical proof that really doesnt matter.

The title would be more accurate if it read "A Mathematician gives a general overview of various aspects of investing while endlessly referring to his losses and obsession with Worldcom."

Last chapter is pretty much useless in that it explores chaos theory and "begins" to explore mandelbrot and fractals... if one can actually "begin" such a topic.

This seems a bit harsh. Im glad a read it. It's worth looking at. or a "random walk down wall street" would work as well. ]]> <![CDATA[Daryl added 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66429178 to: Rich Dad, Poor Dad (Paperback) by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Kiyosaki's book is quick and easy to read. He makes it seem simple to go into some area, buy a foreclosure on a home, then turn it around, then use that money to buy up. However, I think the 7 hours it would take for a person to read this is well worth it because it gives a good amount of advice to change from the mindset of frivolous spending to one that is more consciencious of increasing wealth rather than the ever so common lifestyle of debt facing the typical american consumer today. ]]> <![CDATA[Daryl added 'The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39760410 to: The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists (Leather Bound) by Neil Strauss
