Review: THE BEST BOOK! - Wow. I never thought I would be able to understand the stock market, but thanks to this book I now do! This author has an incredible ability to present and explain ideas is an organized and logical way. I read his first book about investing and loved it, so I decided to read this one too, and I was equally impressed. I highly recommend--it's a quick read, but it gets enough into the nitty-gritty while still keeping it simple, so you walk away with an understanding of the topic that you can retain and actually have a conversation about! Very well done.
