Good start to your education

While the narration was a bit dry, consistent issue with unabridged books in my opinion, the topic was interesting. Its not and end all be all way to the stock market, but its a start.

Very Substantive for a Short Book

Most investment books as short as this one are full of flowery language, personal stories, and attempted inspiration with little real substance.

Investing in One Lesson may sound like a “get rich quick from this one simple principle,” but it’s not. The first half of the book explains how stock markets actually work—what causes stock prices to vary so drastically, why in the short run stocks are not the same as investing in a company, but also why the stock market is still worthwhile and necessary for the economy as a whole.

The second half turns to strategies for investing. This section is also very substantive, offering concrete strategies and even lists many of his favorite specific stocks and funds. While he does talk a lot about the value of dividend stocks/funds, he’s not claiming that this is the only good strategy to take, and talks of several others as well.

Review

The book is very simple for the experienced investor; but it is well written, and it states helpful theories that can help investors at all levels.

Sound advice

Great book on fundamentals. Usually books of this nature have only one point and the rest of the book is absolutely useless and boring . This one gives you great information, quotes and insights on the way to the main point . I enjoyed it.

compelling book. let's see if it works.

Doesn't spend too much time on anything unrelated. every term used is defined at least once and it's great for beginner's.
