A Random Walk Down Wall Street: The Time-Tested Strategy for Succesful Investing Audiobook (Unabridged)

" pretty crappy, didn't like it so much surprisingly given its praises "

" I read this as part of a job interview for a financial firm in Pasadena. Quite eye opening and interesting... and I agree with its main premise, that the markets are generally efficient and that, over the long haul, market returns are superior returns. "

" Singlehandedly the best book on investment and financial planning. Been revised since the 70s time and time again. Everyone should be educated about money and this is the way to learn how to properly plan. "

" The markets are fairly priced say, 70% of the time - but don't take that to mean 100% of the time. In 2011, markets all around the world swung 3% almost (up or more usually, down) daily it seemed. The final nail in the coffin of Efficient Market Theory? That all said, much of my investment strategy is buying and holding the index! "

" One of the best books to start reading about investments. All time favorite. Easy to read, not technical at all. It won't tell you about how to invest, it will tell you about what not to do. "

" A good sensible book. Filled with lots of interesting stories like the Holland tulip crash and other financial foolishness. We would be better off if more people read these sensible books and learned to distrust the fools with the get rich quick methods of investing. "

" Good book although I don't feel it is a good strategy. It great for getting a background in investing and finance. "

" A good book to introduce someone to the workings of Wall Street. "

" This book won't teach you how to earn money, or lose it, but by the end you'll be more informed about how investments work and how dry and boring they can be. "

" this one is pretty technical and cumbersome to read. i didn't find it as useful as some of the others. "

" Required reading in college. Was never impressed. "

" This books espouses the virtues of asset allocation, and explains the very basics of market theory. Any serious investor has probably read this book. "

" A classic on this topic. "

" Great primer for beginners. I knew most of what he was saying but it was interesting to have it all quantified for me. He covered timing, taxes, and insurance to name a few topics and basically recommends a broad-based index portfolio. "

" A good overview of buy-and-hold investing. Very consistent with my own views, but I only found a few chapters in the book to be helpful. Still, a good overview for anyone interested in learning more about personal investing. "

" If the author of "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" decided to write a book on investment, this will be it. "

" Investing begins and ends with this book. Extremely readable with excellent historical examples "

" Not the edition that I read, but oh well. "

" Very interesting, engaging, and practical advice about investing. "

" The main reason I invest in broad market index funds is this book. "

" everything holds as long as the money supply is stable "

" Skimmed this book so it doesn't completely count at read, but I got the jist of it and it wasn't anything new. I disagreed with some of his recommendations at the end of the book, but did like the message about recommending ETF's versus mutual funds for most people. "

" It's a book I reference frequently. It does a good job explaning 'complicating' material for the average market participant. "

" An understandable yet scholarly defense of index funds. "
