A nice little gem published in 1989. The first half of the book simply summarizes the approach to value investing. I particularly liked his summary of Benjamin Grahams approach and where to best focus your efforts. The second half deals with topics somewhat pertinent to the first half of the book and could be missed. Overall definitely a worthwhile read. Four stars for content.

THERE IS A SOCIAL ASPECT TO INVESTMENT CLUBS THAT CAN PROVE DETRIMENTAL. MEMBERS MAY FEEL UNITED AS A TEAM AGAINST A COMMON FOE - THE MARKET. THIS CAN LEAD TO OVER-CONFIDENCE, ILLUSIONS OF CONTROL AND DECISIONS THAT REFLECT A FOLLOW THE THE HERD MENTALITY.
Most precious things in life must be earned.
Brandt met and learnt from Graham.
The further out the prediction the more likely it is to be wrong.
As our appetites for information and expectations have increased, our ability to wait and anticipate have decreased. People pay for convenience.
Optimism is a desirable personal trait in everyday life, but not in investing.
The value strategy clearly does better when markets fall.
Comprehension paves the way for in-depth analysis of investment opportunities and proper monitoring of existing holdings.
For investment ideas you could study the portfolios of investors you admire.

I meant to write this last week but...
Very concise value book. Less theoretical- but great substance. This is one of the best value books I have read. He covers all the basics and extends the line of thought to global investments. Note that this is written like a textbook.
