Book Reviews of The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio
Book Review: Financial Investing
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernstein did a great job! Working in the financial industry for several years, this was a great book to refer to others. My hubby and I use these lessons in our investing strategy. Beware, the first chapter is a tough one to get through, but you'll sail through the others.Book Review: For the serious reader
Summary: 3 Stars
A well written book with a lot of detail about the history of investing. It is not as fun and easy to read as the author's latest book "The Investors Manifesto."Book Review: Four Pillars provides solid foundation for investing.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Bernstein's previoius book and liked it. I like Four Pillars even more. It is well written, references substantial studies to support it's points, is easy to read and is often entertaining as well. Bernstein provides an important inside look into the deceptive world of finance, giving historical background and explaining how some heavily promoted ideas are not substantiated by objective studies. I have used Bernstein's ideas for my personal investments and have seen good results: nice returns without the usual rollercoaster ride. The best part is that, not only does his system work, it is so simple to use and requires very little time and effort. Thank you, Dr. Bernstein.Book Review: Get this book NOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are even slightly considering purchasing this book, get it NOW. It was a very fast read (I finished it in 3 days) due to the writer's natural style, and it will open your eyes to things like actively managed funds vs. index funds, fees associated with mutual funds, and the importance of asset allocation and diversification. I completely changed my long-term investment strategy after reading this book and I already feel like I am doing better than I had been for the past few years as far as increasing my portfolio's return while lowering its risk. Like I said, get this book now. I am getting a few copies for friends that deserve to make more money over the long term and I don't want to see make the same mistakes I did like paying for actively managed mutual funds with high fees that don't even perform well as the market!Book Review: Good Book But .... Short Term Traders & Investors Need More
Summary: 4 Stars
When investing short term one needs to realize that the stock market can present us with a lot of hot stocks every day.
Most of them may seem promising, but the truth is that a good number of these trading & investing opportunities might not be as profitable as one might think. That's why it's very important to know how to choose them especially if you plan to take advantage of them on a daily or weekly basis.
One site that I recommend is MomentumStockPick com. They have a pretty clear way for trading hot stocks with momentum using easy to understand strategies. This is also a place where you can learn why knowing how to manage the stock rally is critical to your success.
