For anyone starting out i think this book is far
better than the typical brain-dead investment book.
I find it difficult being objective about investment
books. Even during the period i embraced unrestrained
capitalism the books make me ill. Hopefully, some day
an author will fill this void, meanwhile
a step in the right direction is:
