This book is an amazing way to learn about investments and some great tips. However, a lot of the information is outdated referring back to early 2000’s without current updates. Still a great book

Great book for understanding investing at a basic level

This was a disappointment. First, I overlooked the fact that the book was actually WRITTEN in 2002 (recorded in 2007)....that makes it rather outdated. Second, considering the size of the book (length) and the cost of it, one would think that it would have a little more substance. Yet it did not. It might be good for the college student or teenager who needs a very long lecture in the importance of saving money....but it's not for the person looking for information on investing.
