I need to graduate to the next level of knowledge regarding investing. Not that I knew every sentence of the book, but no more entry level stuff...

Good overview, great topics. Gives a boost to understanding the financials. I wish the author would have given references to other books if we needed more info on specifics. But overall a great book to start investing.

[Grady · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice presentation - clear and accessible - but felt somewhat dated now. For example, the recommendation for an individual American investor not to have more that 5% - 10% of their portfolio in international equities isn’t consistent with anything else I’ve read recently. Also, published in 2012, the book predates the wide introduction of commission-free online platforms. Still, the tone is agreeable and the arrangement of the lessons makes sense.

Excellent book for beginner investors.

It is a good introduction to investing, but it gets repetitive and lengthy.
