Review by Booklist Review
It seems that for every investment option there are 10 experts telling you where to put your money. In response to this glut of insight, successful businessmen Reese and Glassman thought it necessary to isolate and analyze nine of those experts, among them Peter Lynch, Martin Zweig, and the Motley Fool. The authors not only explore each investor's strategy for success but also apply their own investment tools as found on their Web site, Validea.com. Each profile includes a brief bio, a step-by-step breakdown of that person's methodology, and case studies using extensive charts and statistics, concluding with a summary of the investor's key investing criteria. Although the book would be most helpful to those with some investing experience--market jargon throughout might deter some newbies--the final chapter, "The Famous Ratios," will serve as a handy reference for those who don't know their PEs from their ROEs. Overall, this is a helpful, well-researched survey of different but effective investment strategies. --Mary Frances Wilkens
