The Investing Bible

Rating:
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Easily the best and most practical investment book I have ever read, the "The Investing Bible" focuses on the juncture of personal finance and corporate finance. Ms. O'Shaughnessy has an easy-to-follow writing style and includes a plethora of other references, from websites to phone numbers to competing investment books. This book is good for a straight-through read as well as a reference.

Summary: O'Shaughnessy Bibles are Must-Haves
Review: Lynn O'Shaughnessy has written two books, 'The Investing Bible' and 'The Retirement Bible,' that complement each other and provide the reader with all of the vital information necessary for making sound financial decisions. The books are written with such clarity and consistency that I have discarded five others on similar subjects because they could not compare with these. I've given copies of both books to my daughter who has joined a surgery practice and needs to become more financially astute. I hope the author will update these two superb texts periodically.

Summary: MUST HAVE... MUST READ... for any Investor
Review: This book covers EVERYTHING. In DETAIL. The hardest part about investing is that if you have little to no experience, you have no idea what questions to ask or what to legitimately expect. And when it's YOUR MONEY on the line it's best to know what to expect and to be prepared. This book is what every investor needs. It provides authoritative, comprehensive, and detailed information on how to invest successfully. It has no radical or wreckless financial strategies. This book covers everything. It covers; how to evaluate the professionals and their advice, to investing effeciently with regards to taxes, to family financial planning, to evaluating a stock, bond, annuity, or mutual fund on your own. The only gap in this book is that it does not cover nor touch on real estate investing. But, I am sure the author refrained from that topic as it is not where her expertise and experience lays. But EVERYTHING ELSE was covered thoroughly to the level every investor should demand.

Summary: Save your money! Way overpriced!
Review: You can get information like this for free online. Author has no degree or credentials in this field other than she likes to profit from writing about it. There are better books priced more reasonably you can buy.
