Product Description:
In this long-anticipated, groundbreaking guide to building a portfolio, acclaimed stock pickers and Internet pioneers David and Tom Gardner lay bare the simple philosophy that they have used to help millions of grateful individual investors outfox the professionals on Wall Street.
The research, the stories, and the results that underpin this book stem from the revolutionary and wildly successful "Motley Fool Million Dollar Portfolio""—a one-of-a-kind Web experiment in which individual investors follow along as Motley Fool co-founder Tom Gardner invests and manages $1 million of The Motley Fool's own money.
In page after page of sound, sensible investment advice, readers are offered a rare glimpse into the inner workings of The Motley Fool machine—and offered a first-class education in building, growing, and defending an individual portfolio, one investment strategy at a time. From learning to think like an investor to finding a first stock, from dividend investing to blue-chip bargains to small-cap treasures, from international investing to community-based online tools that are revolutionizing stock selection and asset allocation, this book takes the reader through the essential strategies for building any portfolio—no matter how small its start or how big its ambitions.

I am a relative Newbie when it comes to investing in the stock market. I have dabbled occassionally and have had some inkling of what stocks to purchase a couple of times that would have made me some serious returns. One of the things that the "Million Dollar Portfolio" does is give you a 360 degree look at what to invest in, how to evaluate companies and what other expectations there are.
Although not everyone agrees with their focus, Million Dollar gives you insights into how to ... Read More

A market rally like the one we've witnessed since March always makes people think of buying a few shares themselves. As a guide to picking stocks, one could do worse that using The Motley Fool Million Dollar Portfolio, the newest book from the founders of the Motley Fool franchise, David and Tom Gardner.
Their advice sounds sensible enough. Find a company that's interesting to you and has financials and a business strategy you understand. Look for certain traits like consistent earnings ... Read More

This is a new set of rules modified for the new investing environment of late 2008. The new theme is influenced by Warren Buffett - he is frequently quoted in this book. This is a good guide to investing mostly in stocks. The recommendations are oriented toward the whole portfolio over the life of the investor. Chapter topics include first stocks, dividends, blue-chips, small-cap, world stocks and an index to the book. They encourage the reader to partake in their web site for continuing education ...

This is a very timely book considering that we are in the recession. The book talks about how Warren Buffett was sitting on a lot of cash in 2005, 2006, and 2007. When the stock market collapsed, he started putting the money to work. Investors should also put their money to work now because opportunities are abundant. As everyone else is panicking and selling their holdings from their retirement accounts, the number of favorably priced stocks is unbelievably high.
Chapter 1 states that Americans ... Read More

I am a great fan of the Motley Fool site and their investment news letters. This book provides a consolidation of the same no nonsense advice to investing. Some of the same advice is repeated if you have been reading their newsletters however. Most of the advice was common sense, so it is good to re-read this to remind yourself of what you should be focusing on.
I was a bit disappointed in the pushing of their online products, I was looking for another angle and did not find it.
