FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
This anthology of classic investment writings brings together wisdom published over the past nearly 200 years. Many of the world's best investors, including Warren Buffett, draw insights from the teachings of Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd, whose textbook on security analysis is still a classic. As stated in the introduction by editor Willis, a well-known financial writer for Money and other publications, "The best investors and the best investment thinkers succeed to the extent that they avoid the sin of self-deception." If readers glean nothing else from these writings, they should at least learn not to lie to themselves but to be realists when making investment decisions. The 16 chapters, each by a different individual (e.g., Peter Lynch, John Templeton, and Gary Belsky), cover topics involving mutual funds, stocks, asset allocation, market timing, the value of thrift, tulipomania, and more. Well written and carefully selected, these chapters can be read independently, and each will provide useful insights into an overall investment strategy. Any library serving personal investors will want to purchase.-Susan C. Awe, Univ. of New Mexico Lib., Albuquerque Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
