Customer Reviews

Insightful Thinking -- Too bad about the links

It's clear the authors are very capable financial journalists. Unlike other investing books I've read, this one is actually an amusing read...sort of in the tradition of Tobin. Even the section on technical analysis is readable. A minor complaint: about a third of the web links are outdated...which is probably inevitable in any book about online anything. Fortunately, though, there's still plenty of meat here, even without the web links. I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand or review the basics of investing on line.
