The Motley Fool Investment Guide: How the Fools Beat Wall Street's Wise Men and How You Can Too (An Investment Guide for Beginners)

Great book!

I bought an earlier edition and I decided to upgrade... a great little book that gives you the confidence to look after your own investments.

It is a US focussed book but investment principles don't change with geography. Good book and some solid time-tested principles.

Bought for my teenage kids to read. They both have investment accounts and want to learn more about investing. The earlier you start, the easier it is.

Le plus dérangeant dans ce livre est la fausse modestie des auteurs se nommants des "idiots" qui bien qu'ils fassent "n'importe quoi" réussissent à battre le marché à coups de conseils bateaux tels que "il faut investir dans les entreprises à forte croissance dans le temps". Le livre est bien sûr remplit de référence vers le site des auteurs où vous pourrez trouver d'autres super conseils bâteau. Vous pourrez même y rejoindre la communauté des "idiots" afin de ne pas être le seul à devenir millionnaire !Sérieusement ce livre va à contre-sens d'autres livres sur le sujet qui ont une approche bien plus mesurée et qui sont bien moins dans le genre "tous les investisseurs les détestent, découvrez leurs secrets... "Il contient des conseils intéressants mais il faut faire la part des choses et savoir reconnaître et faire abstraction de toute la pub.

Great! Clear guidance and surprisingly quite a page turner given the subject matter. Really enjoyed it and very useful insights / recommendations. I would believe it is useful for beginners and those with some experience.

Um livro interessante para iniciantes em investimentos para o longo prazo. Lembra bastante a filosofia bastter.

I wish I read this book before parting ways with great stocks. I like their no-nonsense, easy to understand approach to investing. The book made a ton of sense and after reading this book I have a newfound strategy when it comes to analyzing my next stock purchases - will the company grow? Is there a large and untapped addressable market? Do they have pricing power like Netflix where they can raise prices without losing customers? Smart use of debt and equity to enhance shareholder returns? Also they didn't spend much time on options but there were some good takeaways nevertheless. For example, if I am buying a stock I love if it drops to a certain price every time why not pay myself to do so? Write a put, collect the premium and if the strike price is hit then you keep the premium and just buy more of the stock you already love. I highly recommend this book to anyone, beginner or experienced.
