Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Motley fool: You have more than you think
Good book. good review of principles, easy to understand & implement. Highly recommend to anyone interested in improving their financial status, or just gaining better control of their money.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Way to Start!
I bought this book a good five years ago and ate it up. I have read it several times only to be reinforced in my investment approach - a well-diversified assortment of passive index funds, along with a few well chosen blue chips that pay regular dividends.

- These guys don't promise any fast cash, but employ a methodology that tends to scream, "slow and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fun to read, describes a clear vision
The title of this book reflects the optimism that it breathes from beginning to end. It makes you want to go for it, without encouraging hasty decisions, and encourages to read more. For true fools (I mean morons) like myself, the book adequately warns you to first get out of debt before trying to invest. The part that tells you how to get out of debt is brief but the advice is sane, and optimistic. Once ready to invest, we are adviced to use a buy-and-hold strategy, and the arguments for it seem to make ... Read More
