This is a great book for a value investor who is looking to refine their strategy. Mr. Hunt has done a great job of taking the investing process and breaking it down into easy to read explanations. This book does assume that the reader is acquainted with basic investing terminology and how the stock market works. The book begins by explaining what value investing is and the mindset of value investors. He then goes on to talk about how to analyze a stock as a potential investment and concludes with how to implement a value investing strategy with your own portfolio. I found this book to be easy-to-read and full of good information for improving your investment skills. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in investing.

Alinefromabook’s recommendation: THUMBS-UP!

Happy Reading!

Good overview of value investing backed up by a number of interesting studies. I am really disappointed however that the author promises the book to deliver improvements for practicing value investors. This is all very basic information. Could be a solid grounding for a beginner, but if you are looking for ideas for improvement then you should look elsewhere. I rate the book as interesting but useless.
