This and 'When to sell' should be required reading.......2002-03-06
From covering all the thoughts that go through ones heads at the time of pressing the trigger, to all the consequences of these thoughts. Everything is covered in this book.
Then it helps one create a strategy for buying based on facts rather than emotions.
I would recommend this book and When to Sell above most books about trading.
Great series of Books........2001-12-03
I can't say enough about the series of When to Buy, When to Sell, and The Nature of Risk. Ironically, I bought the When to Sell years ago, read it and shelved it. It's pages would have saved me a bundle over the past year. As the worst seems to be behind us, knowing when to get back in is key. Simply written with great examples, make this book a must own.

The only truly sane book on investing.......2006-04-16
The problem with so, so many investment texts on the market is that the authors of the texts have a clear conflict of interest: read my book, buy my tapes and come to my seminar, and they'll teach you how to make a million dollars. A sucker is born every minute, and the dark scary world of investment books is proof of it.
This is the best book on investing, and how to measure value generally, that I've ever read. It's very, very old school. If you feel yourself attracted to the NYSE like a big exciting roulette table, but you don't know what a P/E ratio is or what a stock split really means, buy this book before you do anything stupid.
Very good book for beginners........2005-07-16
If you are a beginner in the area of stocks, and have a lots of basic questions, this book is for you. All the terminology and the functioning of the stock market is nicely developed. I definitely recommend it instead of frantically searching on the internet for learning the basics.
Good finance book.......2004-04-10
If you ever think to yourself that why didn't you a few years older and know more ?? This is a book for you. It's a history of the finance world and tells what has happened before you was born :) Most important this book really teaches you how to buy stocks.
My favorite book, so i give ***** :)

Great book, well illustrated and a Must Read!!.......2004-02-25
This is a great book to understand stocks and debt instruments market. The author explains the various stages in the growth of a company using his fictional Pocket Pole Company and his writing style is lucid. This is a book dealing with a considerable number of terms and Hecht's examples helps one in easily grasping the concept.
The book is big, more than 400 pages long and covers various investment techniques using Stocks, Bonds, Treasury Bonds, Mutual Funds and also discusses the making of a stock market, guidelines to follow while investing etc. It is really a wonderful read for anyone interested in understanding money flow and how corporations are born.
Personally, I enjoyed reading about Pocket Pole and the author's comparison of Pocket Pole with companies like IBM and Walt Disney. It is amazing to note that this book is around half a century old and the concepts haven't really changed.
One thing I didn't like about is that the book needs to be updated, and should discuss the Enron and the recent stock market crash. Louis touches upon incidents of 1994 and I feel that a revision is very much due!
Overall, a great book if you are new to the investment market.
Primo Primer for the Incipient Investor.......2004-02-15
I first read this book more than ten years ago after a particularly rough day at work. I thought "There must to be an easier way to make money." Instead of going straight home I headed to the Boston Barnes and Noble in Downtown Crossing. There I saw this book. For someone who has no idea what the stock market is or how it works this is an excellent book. Though the prose could be a little dry, it provides a basis on what stocks and bonds are, it differentiates between stocks and preferred stocks, it explains why you need a broker to buy most stocks. You definitely should read this before attempting to read more classical investment books because the terminology used can be daunting. This book also complements Tobias' "Still the Only Investment Book You'll Ever Need"
Product Description
This little book contains specific directions to build a portfolio of securities using index and exchange traded funds to conform to Modern Portfolio Theory used by 25% of pension funds and trusts and 10% of individual investors. In the book you will find web sites where you can pose your questions and receive answers from individual investors who follow passive investment techniques. The system is endorsed by academics and noted journalists. It has a record of producing returns that exceed those of actively managed mutual funds and individual stock recommendations.

It truly is never too late.......2007-05-22
Had I come across this book 5 years ago, I would not have read it. BECAUSE...
I was bent on making my fortune NOW, trading TODAY. I had recently lost my job, had all the time in the world, and a little "trading" money. You may read my condensed confession... or not.
I began seeking to make my fortune in commodities, and lucky for me after a few months understood that in commodity trading the small investor is the commodity! It's a pure sucker's game - no ands, no ifs, no buts about it. I decided I must move on, but now with BOTH EYES WIDE OPEN.
I then pursued trading stock options with "gurus" - for very hefty annual fees, cause these guys do just great, cause they always trade with the odds in their favor. This trading arena proved to be somewhat ok, but I truly wasn't making any money for the time and effort required. So I cancelled my annual subscription after 5 months into the year, cause I felt I could do better.
Well, commodities were out, guru stock option trading was out, so why not go directly into stock trading. This would require much more study and work on my part, as I knew little about stock trading. My employment prospects were still non-existent as the "economy" was much worse now than when I lost my job about 1 year ago.
So, let's go make money in stocks (even though I had been told that the real money was in commodity trading - but I knew what commodity trading was all about via personal experience ). So, I ventured into the stock arena. I spent considerable time doing the "stock" trading thingy. But now I felt I needed stock trading advisor newsletter subscriptions, stock trading computer software programs (there are thousands - or so it seems), also now joining stock trading rooms, attending trading group monthly meetings, and so forth, like stock data feeds as opposed to commodity data feeds. And, what to my pleasant surprise did I discover? Simply this, that no one was really making any money!! Most people were losing money, and some I met had lost many thousands, and I distinctly recall hearing about an investor telling another investor how he had made 1 million dollars in the stock market. In essence he stated that he made 1 million dollars in the market by letting his broker trade his account - and his account had several million before he "made" 1 million. I did not verify this, it may have just been a story, but from what I observed, there was definitely some truth to the story. Lucky for me I never had much money to "trade". By now I was spending most of mine observing, simply observing and filing away information. I must say though that In the process I met lots of real nice people, and made several good friends. But again I must state that I experienced that no one was truly making any money. And, I attended several groups doing completely different types of stock trading and stock market analysis.
And yet somehow, deep inside of me a voice kept saying " Surely there HAS TO BE MONEY BEING MADE IN THE MARKETS - THERE SIMPLY HAS TO BE.
So, after considerable time spent stock trading, the next place I parked my presence was with "day-trading" groups trading the E-Minis. Once again, so much time and some money spent - books, software, software simulators, trading rooms, chat rooms, trading systems, mechanical trading systems, trading rules, market analysis all of which resulted in 12-14 hour days, etc, etc, and etc. Spending time following and analyzing one day trading guru, then another day trading guru, then another, then this day trading system, this day trading indicator, MACDs, RSIs, Moving Averages, Volatility Stop indicators, Fibonacci Ratios, it goes on and on and on and on.
Yet the same general result - no one really making any real money on a regular basis - NO ONE!!
Au contraire, most traders were losing, and some losing big. I day traded the mini SP, mini Dow, and thought of day trading the e-mini Russell, but realized it was to no avail. I was simply too dumb to beat the system. But, I do know that the Russell does trend much better than the SP!!!
I could truly elaborate on all of this, but then everyone reading this would know that I truly am "cracked" and many still would not believe that I actually "did" all of this. But, that's not the point.
My point is this - that in the past 5 years I never did meet, nor did I hear about 2 persons in any 1 group that I participated in that were making any kind of profit on a regular and consistent basis, NOT 2.
Yes I have day traded the markets, and yes, I was not very smart, and I did not make any money. And, yes I "lost" money, and yes I spent money "learning" to make money in the markets.
DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOR - read this little book one time, then read it again. If after reading my comments, and reading this little book you still feel you can do better, then let me know, and I WILL CHEER YOU ON. Just because I may be too dumb and too stupid to make a living trading does not imply that you.
There are thousands of books and web sites dedicated to "trading". They tell you that you can do it, and make great money. Buy their books, subscribe to their letters, follow their systems, use their indicators, scanners, etc. Enjoy, have fun.
As for myself, I have read this little book 4 times. And, I have also read 2 of the books which Mr. Eade recommends. And, I have set up 2 of my accounts using ETF's. And, believe it or not, I have slept much better this last week.
Do yourself a favor. Skip lunch today, and with your lunch money send for this book. Read it.
If you don't like what you read then I'll gladly sell you one of my $175 trading books.
Oh, so glad I remembered. I have cancelled my real time data feed subscription. It will not renew next month. I hope to fill the "live data feed" void in my life with something more worthwhile. Like spending more time outside with my grandson riding bikes and tossing a football.
And I am likely, very likely, to read each and every book recommended by Mr. Eade. This stuff is fascinating, simply fascinating - yet so elusive.
How to Make Money in the Stock Market - Buy 2,500 Different Stocks - Pay no Commission.......2007-04-29
I am a real person and not connected with the author of this book in any way. I am writing this review because the book has been a wonderful help for me! (This book was the most helpful because it cut through all the hype and the smoke and mirrors often associated in the investment arena).
The only people who might be posting negative comments about Mr. Eades book are those who do not like the "TRUTH IN PRINT" and may be loosing business and commissions as their clients choose other viable options in the stock market.
I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how very much I have enjoyed your book! You have done a wonderful job of taking something very complex (at least to me) and made it very understandable.
I read through the book rather quickly at first and now I am going back through it with yellow high-lighter in hand. I appreciate the fact that you provide very practical and to the point information. The various portfolio options are clear and concise.
Again thank you for writing a great little book. It is jam packed with just what I need to know. I purchased about 5 other books at the same time as I purchased yours through [...], some of which I see you have in your "Books to Read" list. But for myself some of those are beyond me at this point. Yours is at the head of the list!!
The information in this book can easily be validated by people taking the time to do a little due diligence and see that everything that is shared can be backed up by real historical data throughout the years.
I like the quick and to the point style of your book. I drive my car each day but I don't need to know how the engine works.
Terrific Book, Knowledgeable Author.......2007-03-31
This is a terrific, easy to read, and easy to understand book on how to get started making money in the stock market. I'd beware of any negative reviews here as they must be from brokers who don't want you saving money by paying no commission! That being said, if you are like me and have never done this before and have no idea how to get started and what to do, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK! It is wonderfully straightforward and the author has a great deal of knowledge and experience on the subject. While reading, you feel that he puts you on the right track and keeps you there. I started investing too late in life, and this book was a comfort to me because I felt that the author had cut out a lot of the BS and got right to the point. This is a GREAT book, and good for him that he is a self-published author! I'm happy there are people out there like him who are motivated and who provide such insightful and useful services.
The author of this book should be ashamed........2007-03-21
Potential book buyer: read the reviews on this book very carefully. All positive reviews have been secretly written by the same person under different names. Just click on the user's name and look to see if they've written other reviews...nope, they haven't since ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR THE BOOK HAVE CLEARLY BEEN WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR.
Worse still, this guy shamelessly plugs his book by writing book "reviews" on the listings for more famous and far more useful books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the Millionaire Next Door.
Power Packed 64 Page Book.......2006-11-22
I purchased this book about a year ago and have purchased copies for my children and two friends at work. I will be retiring at the end of Dec 06 and wish that this book would have been available 35 years ago and I would have read it. It's not complicated and does a good job in explaining index and etf fund usage to build a portfolio and why you use them--cost, performance, supports MPT. I especially liked page 9 and 10 chart of 100k and it's growth over 30 years in an index and actively managed fund. Most charts just show percentage cost impact, this chart shows both percentage and dollars--what a wake up call.
Book Description
Packed with important stuff you need to know, and spiced with real-life stories of "entry-level" investors, cool facts (like the fact that between your 18th and 30th birthdays, you will likely hold an average of 7.5 jobs), and references to rock and pop songs, this hip, "tell-it-like-it-is" guide focuses on the basics of investing, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, short term saving and long term investing. Emphasizing that a person is never too young to think about investing, it includes definitions of important terms and concepts such as return, liquidity, risk, dividend, yield, and the stock market indexes; information on how to research a company, purchase stock, and select a mutual fund; and detailed explanations of 401(k) plans and IRAs.

Start here, start NOW!.......2003-08-28
Ever traded baseball cards or comicbooks? You?ve taken your first step in investing!
This book succeeds where many others fail: It does an excellent job of breaking into layman's terms the most complex investing and financial concepts, while at the same time making the whole thing completely relatable for someone who knows *nothing* about investing. That is a talent many wish they had. This is no mean feat when you consider all the jargon you have to learn. Now, imagine having fun while doing it! Wow! Eric Tyson, eat your heart out!
Sure, it?s been a while since this book first came out, so you know it needs a little updating...get over it! I still give the book five well-deserved stars. I appreciate the authors for writing such an awesome little book, as reading a book is a big investment of time, and reading this book was definitely worth it.
Share it with a teen or twenty-something you love, and give them the gift of setting them on the path to becoming investors.
A MUST READ for people in their teens and twenties!.......2000-07-27
Before I bought this book, I was probably like a lot of young people out there... ya get paid from work and you go blow it on the weekend with your friends at the mall. You just manage to get your bills paid off, and wonder why you can never seem to get a decent amount put away in your savings account? People, wake up! This is the time you should be saving for your future, or you'll regret that you didn't when you get older! I bought this book with determination not to spend every dollar I make and how to put my money towards my future. The book gives excellent explainations on the stock market and how it works, and even explains all those Wall Street symbols in a way that it's actually fun to read! It explains everything from savings accounts, to stocks and bonds, to IRAs! When I was finished reading the book, I was so glad I had read it when I did, because the later you wait, the more you're wasting time! I recommend this book to all! Read it and you'll be glad that you did!
An excellent piece of information........1999-07-04
This is an excellent book. It makes so easy to understand - all those complicated stock terms, author makes use of beautiful examples from time to time. It is a must have for every person who wants to invest money in stocks etc. (may be, except the ones, whose primary carrier is stocks or stock trading). I myself bought and sold stock over the last few years but never understood the terminology completely. It is nice to have it in my library - Thanks to the authors.
A personal library must! Says a Cincinnati Investor........1999-03-30
There is absolutely no better tool in the market today. It's a great handbook for those sophisticated Generation X'ers, and an even a better tool for that worldly, younger new generation who are blazing trails right behind the X'ers.
Hey Boomers, your children, the N'Gens, are going to take the world by storm. With your ideas and their cohesive, cooperative energetic spirit, there isn't anything that they won't accomplish.... But without the financial skills so wonderfully illustrated in this book, your child will be left behind the pack. He or She will fail to live up to their unbelievable potential.
As an owner of this book, I can honestly attest to its value. I think it should be part of every high school senior's core curriculum! It is the only book that can make sure your child is ready to assist his/her peers in shaping the future of America and the World.
If your school board has not yet adopted this text, then please makes sure before your son or daughter goes off to college this fall that they have this guidebook to the world of life. America and for that matter the World will be grateful.

Too dated to be useful..........2000-05-27
Perhaps a sign of the hi-tech times, this book was published in 1996 and is now so dated it is of very limited value. If you read newspapers, or some financial magazines, I think you're already well past what is offered here. One facet of the book I actually found a little irritating is the tendency of the author to use copious amounts of filler between the tidbits of useful information.
Insightful, worth getting, but not a mechanical formula.......1999-04-05
The book doesn't give too much in the way of simple formulae, but does give a lot of insight that the reader can use to help develop an investment strategy re technology. Some of it is a little dated, but I would recommend reading the whole book, not just a couple of chapters.
The following (long-ish) quote from chapter 8 I regard as very profound and chapters 8 & 9 worth re-reading and ponderingh awhile: "I would avoid placing bets on any side in the compatibility wars. We have entered a period in computer technology ....... when monopolies and even profitable pricing are becoming more and more difficult to sustain....... The outcome, which is compatibility, is a foregone conclusion. favor the stocks of those companies - and they are not necessarily computer or networking companies - who recognise at the strategic level that the intersection of data and communictaions networks simultaneously creates a broad new market and a wholly new product. And that this product, which is a supernet, is coming into the world like an avalanche".
I regard this as a profound insight, and is precisely what is happening on the internet at this moment. Understanding chapters 8 & 9, and reviewing the markets in its light should help considerably in understanding the current craziness of the 'net and possibly in identifying the next winners.
The book isn't full of correct predictions and winners, but the basic insghts are still valid.
OK Book But there are Better.......1999-03-17
There are tons of these books and this one is pretty good but "Gorilla Game: Investors Guide..." is better. I would recommend getting that book before you get this one.
Great book for those who are looking into the future.......1998-10-23
the author tells you great insights into finding technology companies with a potential of laying the foundation of great networks. As far a electronic networks, they will continue to gain expandability with existence of internet. Good penetration into the market by hi-tech companies is extremelty crucial for viability and strong revenues. Future communication will be very different,and messages will have to be protected by security. Author also mentions to detect a company with protected and secured network in order to maintain high profitability. Good insights into the tech field. I am glad I bought the book. It increased my awareness of the technology and communication industry.
Surprising chapter.......1998-05-07
In the handful of new books on the subject of tech stocks, this one came out first. People quote it, argue with it, imitate it, paraphrase it and even try to attack it (see below). The author was evidently inside Compaq during their startup. He has a way of putting the reader right down on the ground in Texas on a sweltering summer night, drinking a beer with the engineers, poring over IBM's blueprints and schematics on the eve of the great clone wars. He understands at first hand why Compaq became the fastest growing company in history while their 150 competitors went right out of business. It's an important technology investing lesson. I also enjoyed a surprising chapter called Smart players, Dull winners. It says bright people have an especially hard time beating the stock market, and has some ideas about what they can do about it. The book is a primary source.

Before you buy, read what they say about Amazon.com.......2005-01-10
I used the feature of searching and reading to check it out right here, online. I searched for their write-up of amazon.com. And it's there, on page 60.
Read those pages first. If you think the authors give an intelligent and insightful perspective on Amazon's role in the internet bubble, then by all means buy and read the book.
Good look at what went wrong during the Internet bubble.......2002-10-04
Buy, Lie, and Sell High provides an interesting look at the Internet bubble and what caused it.
It was a perfect storm of greedy people with little to no business experience, combined with unethical accounting firms, loose federal regulators, new technologies, and a hungry public looking to make a quick dollar.
While the book has ?Enron? in the title, there is not a whole lot about Enron in the book, perhaps 10 pages.
The book has a number of case studies of classic dot bombs. I am surprised that with all of the case studies, Mills did not discuss one of the biggest bombs, Value America.
Overall, the book provides a good look at what went wrong and how it can be prevented from happening again.

how to buy your first share.......2004-02-11
Just wondering why the reviews all three were identical to the other book I reviewed two minutes before.
Back To The Basics.......2002-12-10
"No-Load Stocks" was a very informative book. What it teaches you could be very worthwhile when you go to invest in the market. It uses great real-world examples to relate the stock market and investments to the "novice".
I didn't realize many things before reading this book. It cleared up some very murky waters for me, so to speak. First off, it tells you just how much the brokers take away when you have to go through them to invest. I didn't realize that you have the ability of making so much more money with no-load stocks. Some of the only drawbacks it points out are no-load stocks have maximum amounts you can invest, and the administration fees they charge for them tend to be high on average.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book to first time investors. Perhaps even well-schooled investors looking to "freshen up".
A must read for anyone wanting to invest in stocks!.......1999-01-29
After reading this book and following through with the information it gives, ANYONE can invest in the stock market. Not just second rate stocks either, FIRST rate companys. Research and patients are all that it takes.
An excellent book.......1997-10-22
Like "Buying Stocks Without A Broker" This book is a must read for new and experienced investors. After reading it, I have contacted three companies and am waiting their prospectus and application.
Anyone can own stocks after reading this book........1997-02-27
This book takes the mystery out of buying stocks.
Even though I have dealt in mutual funds for years, stocks were only for brokers.
No longer! Anyone can buy stocks and with any budget.
Thank You Charles Carlson for bringing stock buying to the average guy!
Customer Reviews:
Gold came even before sex.......2004-12-16
This book is a defence of the Gold Standard system, for the author sees gold as a means to restrict unlimited printing of paper money by governments.
'Gold is a monument to man's barbarity ... without some sort of mutual economic weapon ... man's inhumanity to man, man's greed, man's lust for power and fame will cause him to lie, cheat, steal, distort, and, is he a politician, to do so with a smiling face, saying it is for your own good and in the public interest.'
A return to the Gold Standard is however out of question today, alone already for the socio-economic policies it imposes (unemployment, reduction of wages).
For people still interested in investing in gold, I remind the words of H.-F. Oppenheimer, the late president of Anglo-American, the greatest producer of gold and diamonds in the world: 'People buy gold out of stupidity and diamonds out of vanity'.
Governments have been big sellers of gold lately for budget deficit reasons but also because they earn interest on their currency holdings.
Gold depreciates every year by the amount of interest people receive on their equivalent money savings.
Gold's only interest is industrial. In the long run, its price will be determined by its economic utility.
This book contains an interesting quote by Cicero adressing the Roman senate: 'The budget should be balanced, the Theasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed less Rome becomes bankrupt.'
A partly dated book with some interesting viewpoints.
