Every now and then you come across a book that you so thoroughly enjoy that you cannot help but keep reading it, unfortunately, this is definitely not that type of book. Instead, I found myself skipping whole chapters of this book, mainly because it was written as if to presume that the reader is either slow, or in the early stages of mental decline.

What is also quite concerning is the method upon which the material is presented in this book. Very quickly does the author switch from one subject to another, without any transitional afterthought connecting the two ideas. At times, the impression is given that the author fell asleep midway through a page, only to wake up and attempt to complete that same train of thought.

Overall, there are many other books out there that do a better job of explaining the financial markets.

Some great nuggets of info here. This book is more for the beginner than the experienced investor. It'll get yu thinking about what you need to do to become a great investor.
