5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic insights. Best book I've read on value investing!
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 8, 2020
I can't say enough about this book. So much to take in, so get out your highlighter (says the happy nerd in me)! It is so clearly laid out and explains the illusions that most new investers buy into, the tremendous effect that psychological factors have on the market, the discipline and restraint required and the reasoning behind these ideas.
Definitely had to do some side learning to understand some concepts as I'm new at this, but the book is written in an easy style that makes it accessible for all.
Love it!

Definitely recommended for both new and seasoned investors alike. Outlines an overall approach and philosophy for investing in paper markets, don't expect it to cover specific methods of ascertaining risk and value. Would also be valuable for someone looking for a financial advisor. As for someone who just wants to follow the herd, this book would likely not be your cup of tea. Very thoughtful work.
