Book Reviews of Investing the Templeton Way: The Market-Beating Strategies of Value Investing's Legendary Bargain Hunter

Book Review: Author need to come out with a revised shorter version of this
Summary: 2 Stars

I was very exited to find a Investment book on John Templeton investment strategies. But after reading this book I am very disappointed. This does not mean I disagree with John Templeton strategies. The main problem is with the structure of this book. To me, author seems to be very confused whether he wants to write Templeton biography, his strategies or history of countries which Templeton used to cover.

To give you an example, chapter 10 runs into 20 pages detailing China's economic and political events. It has got just three main messages. Buy stocks in countries 1) with high savings rate 2) trade surplus 3) and high profits attracts competition.

So If you have patience to read 268 pages, which could well be condensed into not more than 100 pages, this is a good book. I have given it two star, because I do not appreciate anything which waste time.

Summary of Investing the Templeton Way: The Market-Beating Strategies of Value Investing's Legendary Bargain Hunter

?To buy when others are despondently selling and to sell when others are avidly buying requires the greatest fortitude and pays the greatest ultimate rewards.?-Sir John Templeton

Called the ?greatest stock picker of the century? by Money magazine, legendary fund manager Sir John Templeton is revered as one of the world's premiere value investors, widely known for pioneering global investing and out-performing the stock market over a five-decade span. Investing the Templeton Way provides a never-before-seen glimpse into Sir John's timeless principles and methods.

Beginning with a review of the methods behind Sir John's proven investment selection process, Investing the Templeton Way provides historical examples of his most successful trades and explains how today's investors can apply Sir John's winning approaches to their own portfolios. Detailing his most well-known principle investing at the point of maximum pessimism- this book outlines the techniques Sir John has used throughout his career to identify such points and capitalize on them.

Among the lessons to be learned:

  • Discover how to keep a cool head when other investors overreact to bad news
  • Become a bargain stock hunter like Sir John-buy the stocks emotional sellers wish to unload and sell them what they are desperate to buy
  • Search worldwide to expand your bargain inventory
  • Protect your portfolio from yourself through diversification
  • Rely on quantitative versus qualitative reasoning when it comes to selecting stocks
  • Adopt a virtuous investment strategy that will endure in all market conditions
