Load with great information on how to develop a winning investment strategy, but it is a bit dry and difficult to get through the whole book. Hang in there when the reading gets a bit dull. ( )

My brother told me to read it. It's so male. In a good way. (:P)

An exceptional book about value investing. Written over 60 years ago, the advice given is still great today. Zweig's commentary is the best part, as it gives relevance and essential updates to the often dated examples. The book is also a great book for the philosophy of investing, setting very realistic goals. Overall I felt that it was a truthful book and has the backing of unmatched investors. Be warned, it's also a very long read, but broken up well into chapters. ( )

The best investment book I've ever read. Value investing makes so much sense I don't know why more people aren't doing it. I wish I had the time, money, and demeanor to try my hand as an 'enterprising investor'. Maybe down the road, for now this book has reinforced the idea that I should stick to my safe 401k with it's selection of mutual funds.

Way overrated and out of date. There are some investment principles that would not change over time, but those covered in the book appear to be too elementary for any professionals. ( )

Fantastically helpful book if you're interested in investing in individual stocks. Well written and interesting, but not a breezy beach read by any stretch of the imagination. Zweig's introduction is well worth reading, too. ( )
