The Citizen Investor: The Power of Ownership

Rating:
Summary: No Nonense, Time Tested Advice
Review: No fancy slight of hand here. The authors use common sense wisdom to strip away and de-bunk the notion that constantly trading stock certificates will make you rich. In doing so they point to tangible examples of "average" investors who've made large sums by investing in solid companies and holding on while compounding works its magic.

A well written primer for getting into, and staying in, the market. A good book, and a great gift for someone just getting started.

Summary: 'NUKES DAY TRADING APPROACH
Review: Outstanding, easy to read work by a seasoned veteran. The factual real life examples provided strongly supports the notion that making sound investments followed by patience is the key to financial reward. Absolutely "nukes" the day trading investment approach.
