Recommendation

The best investing principles, as clearly reiterated here, are stable and evergreen. As an investor, you’ll welcome author Pat Dorsey’s unambiguous, straightforward presentation of the always valid wisdom of the markets. This conveniently organized book offers several chapters of general relevance to investors in all markets and industries, including an industry-by-industry examination of the determinants of value. The title is cute, but the content isn’t about the title’s rules - it is about learning and obeying the basics of stock investing. getAbstract.com recommends the author’s long term perspective. Many of the directions he sets for potential investments could still be valid years hence.
