Book Reviews of The Neatest Little Guide to Do-It-Yourself Investing

Book Review: He's just another opinion
Summary: 2 Stars

First of all it should be noted that Jason's recommended long term investments that he says in the book would be good for the ages have not panned out at all. All were destroyed by 9/11 but whose to say such an event won't happen again. Nonetheless it greatly questions the wisdom of buy and hold strategies like his. Some of the companies don't even exist anymore after only 7 years. From my experience there are better systems, and I agree with another reviewer, why would you buy something careening downwards at high volumes?? Just dumb.
