This is the sixth book I have read on investment in one year. Along with "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Malkiel it has bee the best and most informative. For a while I do not think I want to read books before any investment I make sure I can follow Mr. Lynch's SIMPLE AND PROFITABLE advice. His classification of stocks are great and his timing for buying and selling each of thesis classfication are so great (nearly growers, slow growers, turnarounds and asset plays, Cyclicals). His chapter "stocks I would avoid" is full of sincere warnings of foolish mistakes we make over and over. Add to this the introductory chapters where he Explains Why We Should Invest in what we already know makes this book a must read. It is amazing how many opportunities we all miss on Stocks That are right in front of us, yet we ignore them and waste our time finding the hottest stocks mostly thesis When stocks are overly priced. Let me tell you about a small Example of what I am talking about. I use Yahoo Finance alot in my research almost on daily basis, but I never thought of knowing the company did it with all this wonderful Provides information. And while once scrolling down the page I read Yahoo did Tibco Software Provides IT with the rate technology. (I remembered Lynch When He Says That We spend most of our time trying to find the great stock When the great stock has been striving to find us). I rushed to check out the stock. Too bad it has already Increased More than tenfold in a month time. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU WITH YOUR NEXT TEN excavator.
