Book Reviews of The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing: Morningstar's Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market
Book Review: Tips for stock investing for amateurs to experts
Summary: 5 Stars
The book, "Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing," is an outstanding read.
It covers ALL aspects of choosing equity investments (though stocks are the focus). Best of all, it takes a fairly complex subject and breaks it into digestible chunks. For example, the author goes through the process of reading financial statements (annual report and 10k), showing where the money appears and disappears without requiring a bachelor degree in accounting.
Digestible chapters simple means that there is one idea which is developed for each section and not so much detail that it becomes a textbook exercise. (One does not lose the point of the discussion.)
It is illustrated with examples of well known companies, with an explanation of why the best answer is not always the obvious answer.
Finally, it is written in a style that is thoroughly readable.
