When looking for recommended stock market investment books, I made a list
of books touted by Morningstar [...] as good reading.
I selected about 6
books to read, some of them I thought were easy to read & others not so
easy, this one by Peter Lynch being one of the former.If you are like
me i.e.
1.
Professional financial qualification
2. Many years of
hand-on business experience
3. Strongly confident when making initial
foray into the market
4.
Made some stock market investments
5. Lost
more money than gained
6. Suitably humbled by investment
experience
7.
Looking for an investment strategy
8. Will to adapt &
adopt new ideas read this book. Peter Lynch inspires one to use his
down to earth, common sense approach when selecting stock market
investments.
"How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the
Market" on the front cover is described in detail in his book & can be put
to PRACTICAL use. Also, he was a top money manager who made plenty money
for his investors in his Magellan Fund so he has a track record & is not
trying to live off royalties from book sales. The book is easy to read &
not full of technical jargon designed to confuse the un-itiated (or
initiated) - an extract from Chapter 2 "To the list of famous
oxymoron's-military intelligence, learned professor, deafening silence and
jumbo shrimp-I'd add professional investing".
Whilst this may seem silly to
read in a book on stock market investments, he makes it very clear why top
investment analysts, money managers & the like make some spectacularly
poor investment choices.
He tells you how you can avoid these mistakes. I
got so much value out of this book I have read it twice & I am planning to
read it again & take notes. There's so much [stuff] written on stocks &
stock market investing out there to read.
You will avoid that when reading
this book.
