Review of 'Rule #1' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is one of the first investment books I read. At the time, I thought it was great, but since I have read a few others I have revised my opinion and now think it is merely good. The strengths of the book lie in the introduction of key concepts of fundamental analysis. Of course, as an intro, it is not very in-depth.

I would recommend this book to someone who does not have much investment experience. If you've already read a book or two and done some of your own self-directed investing, you likely will not learn a whole lot from this book.
