More of the same Awesomeness from Morningstar

I've already reviewed the first two books in this series, and after giving each of them 5 stars I think it is not surprising that I think highly of this final book as well. One thing that I don't think I have hit on in my previous reviews has been the fact that these are workbooks. There are chapter by chapter quizzes and questions to encourage you to get out a pen/pencil and some paper and start doing some work. After all, that is probably what you will need to be doing in your own real investment studies when you are making decisions on how to invest your money. I had the feeling like I was in school again, and while that felt strange, it was completely appropriate. I bought these books to learn, to educate myself in how to do something, (invest my own money wisely, without outside help), and you need to be willing to do some homework. I feel that this book has done what it's two predecessors did, and that was to walk me slowly through the decision making process of how to invest in securities. The authors are expert at writing in a very easy to digest style that won't confuse, it will entertain, and it will take the stuffy, tight collared intellectualism out of what is truly a very complex subject. They don't downplay the risk involved with investing, but it doesn't accomplish anything for me, or most people, to be scared away from trying to invest independently.
