"This book surprised me a bit, it is a book about the stock market that actually has something both new and worthwhile in it.
The author makes a good case for expensing stock options, quoting warren Buffett, If stock options are not a form of compensation, what are they? If compensation is not an expense, what is it? and if expenses shouldn't go into the income statement, WHERE SHOULD THEY GO?
He points out that most tech companies are run for the benefit of employees who have stock options.
Stock options are kind of like paying workers with lottery tickets, When they saw others winning , it looked like a good idea. But it really isn't.
Basically if you want to make money, avoid loser stocks, and don't overpay for growth. People bid "growth" stocks up to levels where profits are unlikely except for the insiders looting the company with their stock options.
The first 3 parts of the book are about stocks, in the 4th part he goes into the aging crisis and how to keep social security from going bankrupt.
His ideas are original, but I don't think they'll work. They assume India & China will bail us out."
"Solid investment book that adjusts his previous preference for S&P index funds. Best returns over the past 50 years have come from 3 sectors: Consumer Products, Healthcare & Energy. He encourages investors to favor these sectors. Also an interesting premise on international stocks where he encourages investors to invest 40% of portfolio in stocks listed overseas. May be a bit technical for some, but I thoroughly enjoyed it."
"A good discussion of principles of investing... Key Ideas - Diversification, Value Investing, International focus, Dividend yields, "Dogs of Dow". Don't get into the growth trap (explosive sector growth != explosive stock returns).
In the end the author gets into the basics of Fundamental indexing which gives more weight to value, dividend etc."
