Essential Reading

Like most of the small handful of great investment books, not many know about this one but that is their loss. If you want to find the best investment books, stay away from the Cramer series and the ones that are top sellers because they are the same song and dance and do not teach you any skills. Another peice of advice is to steer clear of investment books written by professors since they have no real experience managing assets. Dagnino's book is one of the very best and it is essential if you want a chance to become a great investor. Make no mistake though, following Dagnino's approach will not in itself lead you to riches. It is just one of many skills you must acquire in the long and very difficult process of becoming a good and then great investor. I am an investment professional and this book is a critical read for novices and pros alike. You had better get this book now, because I do believe it is out of print and only inventory remains.

One of the best

One of the best and very fundamental book. Very well organized I have learned a great deal from this book. Must read.

If you only read one book on investing. . .

I've been doing survey reading in investing (including Jim Cramer's new book, Sane Investing..., which is an enjoyable, informative read) because I want to take better control over my finances--even if you hand your money over to a professional, you owe it to yourself to be able to judge the performance of your portfolio and understand your investment risk in any market. Accordingly, you need a proper understanding of financial markets and economic cycles, and more importantly, how the two interrelate. If I had to recommend only ONE book, it would be this one. It is terrific: well written, informative and designed to make you a more knowledgeable (and consequently a more profitable)investor. You will not be disappointed. For me, it put all of the pieces together. And if you like the book, be sure to visit George's website, Peterdag.com. (I'm not affiliated at all, but became a subscriber to George's service after swooning over the book.)

Excellent read. Very well structured and organized.

I have read several books regarding the stock market, charting and so forth that pretty much left much to be desired. And after the stock market fiasco of 2000 - 2001 where virtually everyone's equity evaporated, many people were left asking themselves, what happened? George Dagnino's book explains the concepts of the business cycle and how all economic factors correlate together. It gives you a clear outlook on how to anticipate market trends, keep an eye on indicators and protect your investment.Overall, probably THE best book I have ever read on the economy and the stock market.
