highly recommended

ideal book to read about stocks

simply excellent -very to the point - covered just enough to be boring like some other interview books I have read recently

A good choice

I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend (based on other Amazon reviews). He has read quite a bit of it and really loves it. He says it is very informative and interesting.

A Good Book but could be improved.

The 3rd edition is an improved version with more up-to-date charts.However, as this a "How to" book, the presentation could have been improved by putting the charts opposite the text so that the reader do not have to flip back the pages to review the charts in order to follow the explanations given by the author.
Although they are in colour, most of the charts (which are 3 inches x 2 inches) are way too small. The charts of the models of the greatest stock market winners are even smaller (2.5 inches x 1.5inches). Being such an important part of this book, they should have been made much bigger and easier on the eyes. Although this will increase the number of pages and the cost of the book, it is what distinguishes a great book from a good book.
In addition, a more detailed explanation together with a worked example of how the author calculates the relative strength would be of great help to readers who are not residing in the USA and buying US Stocks. Otherwise this book appears nothing more than advertising to promote the sale of Investors Business Digest.
I hope these comments can be taken into consideration in the next revised edition.

Excellent and Precise

This is exactly what I wanted. This book assumes that you know nothing and explains each and every concept in detail and in simple language.

Not Bad

This book has some common-sense strategies that any beginning investor should start with. His main focus is to remain emotionally detached and to set a limit where you sell even if you love the stock. That is a great piece of wisdom.

The reason for 3 and not 4 stars on this book is that he heavily plugs his website as an added reference and doesn't hook us up with any math to back up some of his analysis. Still, this is a book that most investors would want in their bookshelf.
