Great graphics, beginning of chapter quotes and insights into reading the stock market. Turning $2,500 over to the stock market and spending 10 minutes to maintain a plan *can* turn you into a millionaire. Easy to read with sound advice makes this a 4 star book.

I thought this book was a bit of an anomaly. It started out as something that seemed like a self-help book by that guy on SNL years ago; "And darn it, people like me!" This became a bit tiresome early on but I held on - hoping against hope - that there would actually be some meat on this book's bones. Stop telling me how great it's gonna be and just tell me what it is already.
I'm happy to say that eventually, in Chapter 11, he started to deliver the goods. And boy did he deliver! I think this is just about THE MOST interesting and fascinating investment strategy I have come across and I cannot wait to put a portion of my money into play using the strategy that DR lays out in excruciating detail. While he tried to gear this book towards beginners - hence all the "I'm Okay, You're Okay" fluff for the first two-thirds of the book, I really don't know if this is a book for beginner investors.
The strategy is fairly straightforward and probably anyone could master it if they had access to the information, but the concepts are not basic and new investors might struggle understanding what they mean. Hard to say for sure since I am not a beginner. I lent this book to one of my millennial co-workers who sometimes takes investing advice from gramps. We'll see what he says and I'll report back - not that it matters.
So should you buy this book and start reading in Chapter 11? Perhaps. Concepts are introduced early on, but no meat appears until later. Should you apply this strategy with a portion of your investment portfolio that's, as he says, under-performing at the time? Certainly. I know I will. I think if you are bold and understand that not every swing produces a hit, this system will work for you. I know it will for me. Good luck and happy investing.
Oh, and if you're one of those glass-half-empty people who see the negative in everything and pretty much tend to ruin social media for all of the rest of us, please stay home. I couldn't care less about your opinion so don't bother to leave one here. Just keep walking and mind your own business. I don't want to hear it.

I enjoyed this book and it made a lot of sense, demystifying a lot about the stock market. Without testing his system out, I can't say if it works or not much less recommend it. Barton has a website and a course you can take, but you can probably skip that and just read the book. Now to try it out with paper trades and see how well his system holds up. The book comes with a lot of meaningful recommendations, so let's hope there is something to it!

This is yet another business investment book review I’ve read over the past several years—this one to do with the stock market. D. R. Barton has developed a simple three-step system with a proven track record and documents stories and lessons on the key to his success that includes teaching grade-schoolers his system.
He offers a worksheet to quickly assess the stock of your choice for viability along with a “streamlined decision-making process” that can, with practice, be done in 10 minutes. Set your goal, give a trial run and set your sites on achieving your financial goals with neutrality to maximize potential profits.
Unlike many other self-help books, this is laid out very professionally with a Table of Contents, Quick-Check Work Sheet, Glossary and Index for ease of researching and locating something later on if you didn’t keep track of it.
All-in-all, this book simplifies the earning potentials of any stock you might want to add to your portfolio in just a few simple steps.

The whole book can be written in 3 sheets of paper. But then you can’t sell such a small book. It is packed with so much fluff that it took me ages to finish it.
Just read the last few pages and learn about the indicators from you tube. You will save so much time. That is unless you like to read it like a novel and have time on your hands.
Besides all that the concept of framing the trades is sound and worth while pursuing.

Actually fairly easy to read; there were a number of concepts that went a bit over my head, but the idea here is that strictly following a simple formula for investing, you can minimize (i.e. predetermine your max) losses and have much larger short term gains than a typical long-range investment strategy. I'm going to trial his method.

The most memorable part was when he wrote about the bubbles in investing history.

Over my head. I just don't have a capacity to absorb the ideas presented. It requires a better understanding of the market and more trust than I currently have.
