Book Reviews of The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing
Book Review: Great 1st Book for the Beginner Investor
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I would like to start off by explaining that I am a complete newbie when it comes to investing. I am an engineer by trade, and this is the first book I read in my quest to educate myself in the art of investing. I don't have the ability to comment on the effectiveness of Mr. Kelly's actual investment strategies that he explains in his book.
However, with that said, I am a very big fan of the book. I believe Jason Kelly is actually an English Major, and you can see that in his writing style. This book was very easy to read, and I was able to finish it very quickly. I was surprised at how easily I was able to stay up late reading a book about (*yawn*) investing.
Also, his primer on stock/financial terms is great. Throughout the book, he explains a lot of the terminology involved with analyzing and picking stocks. Obviously, for a newbie, this was invaluable. His sections on the "Master Investors" provides a great initial view of some of the great financial minds. It is nice to be able get a quick overview of their books and ideas without having to read the actual 300+ page books by each one. If you are then hooked on the idea of investing, you can spend the time to read them more in depth and form your own opinions.
Finally, Mr. Kelly outlines a basic strategy based on the beliefs from those Master Investors. Once again, I can not comment on the effectiveness of this strategy, but I liked it's simplicity and ability to automate it. Although I am a very cynical person, I look forward to trying out his strategy for myself. However, I also plan on reading more books to compare them to what he lays out in this book.
Bottom-line, if you are just getting into investing and need a place to start, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It will keep you interested while you try to learn all the basics about stock market investing, and it provides a nice foundation of ideas from a wide-variety of investors. Maybe his strategy works great, maybe it doesn't, but it seems like an easy way to start to get your feet wet. Two ideas that Mr. Kelly mentions in his book (and I think they are applicable here) is that no one cares more about your money than you do, and you shouldn't let emotions control your decisions when it comes to stock market investing. In other words, it's up to you to evaluate the merits of his ideas through your own research. In the world of investing, I am sure most "experts" disagree on the right way to do it, but I greatly appreciate Mr. Kelly taking the time to explain the basics of investing, the ideas of some of his peers, and his ideas in a book that was a pleasure to read.
