"Much better than I expected considering it was dated (even revisions). For reasonably new investor I think the book covers a number of basic strategies, while being pretty objective. At the end of the day though it remains somewhat a pitch for their strategies as an investment group. "
— Ben (4 out of 5 stars)

The Motley Fool Investment Guide: Revised Edition Listener Reviews
-
" Interesting read, however I have been convinced that investing in single stocks is risky and the best way to invest is with mutual funds. "
— Christopher, 3/16/2010 -
" I would never have guessed that a book on the stock market could be witty and amusing... but there you have it. "
— Renee, 2/9/2010 -
" Good reading if you're ready to start reading the financials of a company. "
— Mike, 1/8/2009 -
" Easy to read - they explain EVERYTHING while keeping the subject light-hearted (and occasionally funny). Also, it makes investing much less daunting...of course, I haven't made an actual investment yet, but I am doing my homework! "
— Valerie, 8/19/2008 -
" I could have been more dedicated to this book, but sometimes it was dry. "
— Keith, 3/26/2008 -
" Really good intro to stocks. Explains why mutual funds might not be the best route to go "
— Mike, 2/28/2008 -
" While well written, one is better off investing in index funds and paying attention to the principles of Asset Allocation. <br/> <br/>The Dogs of the Dow theory has been debunked. "
— Lowell, 2/6/2008 -
" Thrilling! just jokin. Not thrilling. Informative and easy to read. This one stands out from any other Wall Street books Ive attempted to read. This is also the only one I've ever finished! "
— Max, 2/1/2008 -
" Good starter investment guide for those looking for growth stocks. Too bad half the book has already been debunked (Foolish 4? How foolish to think it would be so easy). "
— Sean, 12/13/2007 -
" A fairly basic investing guide, which cleared up a few questions I had. Beyond that it didn't contain information that I haven't already read in other books, articles, blogs, etc. "
— Jessica, 9/25/2007
