Book Reviews of Fooling Some of the People All of the Time, A Long Short Story

Book Review: A "must read" for all individual investors
Summary: 5 Stars

If you manage your own investments, and especially if you buy individual stocks, this book is a "must read" for you. It will open your eyes about the risks of owning individual company stocks. Few people have the ability to research a company the way the author's hedge fund can. Even with those resources Greenlight hasn't been able to force Allied Capital to come clean about their dishonest accounting practices. The only hope individual investors have is to stay clear of companies like this.
