The Intelligent Investor

[Mike Lisanke · Rating 2 out of 5]

Even this summary, written long after the original version of the original author's book, is largely antiquated and IMO useless. Yes, learn what you're investing in... learn to buy low and sell high and to hold and be conservative and not speculate (gamble) or trust the advise of those who do. But in the end, what one Might Expect from an Intelligent Investor summary book is some useful advise which would guide good moves in the market. Advise on how to detect bear vs bull markets. Who would make a call on which market conditions one has currently and what one might expect in the future. Numbers at dates is useless, it all fluctuates. But this is too old a tome to mention there are now tracking index funds which buy/sell as the market does... so if the market is going up you rise and if the market is going down You lose no more than everybody. Also, there are now DRIP dividend reinvestment programs for most stocks which buy fractions from reserve by the company at the price after a dividend is issued... the price is almost always low after a dividend, the company keeps the investers investment and they get a good price on the same good company stock. QED (but no mention in the book). So what? Caveat emptor!

Great articulation of speculation vs investing , good classification on passive investor vs enterprising investor, rest of book is shallow yet enriching
