Ratings and reviews

Good book. lots of investing knowledge. A little to long though, gets quit boring at times. plus too many shameful plugs for his newspaper. still more than worth the read.

Great book covers the historical perspective of the stock market and studies the 2007 stock market crash. The book guides you through the CANSLIM method for purchasing stocks and exit strategies. Based on growth investing style of investment strategy. Those who follow this style, known as growth investors, invest in companies that exhibit signs of above-average growth, even if the share price appears expensive in terms of metrics such as price-to-earning or price-to-book ratios. In typical usage, the term "growth investing" contrasts with the strategy known as value investing.

as it isn't relevant for me unless it starts covering Indonesian stocks as well. I believe the CANSLIM method will work for stocks in any countries. Although it will be tough for Indonesia as we only have 500 plus companies listed on our stock exchange, but I highly believe I'll find a few great stocks that meet most of the CANSLIM criteria. The technical aspects of this method is applicable anywhere. Will update this review accordingly.
