Tom Gardner (1) (1968–)

Well-written propaganda for TMF products, but worthwhile because of the nice strategy for selecting small cap growth stocks.

The somewhat cheeky style is a trademark of their writing in my limited experience, but at book-length, it gets a bit old. Decent Cliff's Notes on reading balance/cashflow sheets, a handful of targets for ratios, but the first 1/4 (1/3?) is basically, "Don't get overcharged for mutual funds and brokerage fees," which... well, I guess must have an audience.

2.5 stars rounded up.

Very thoughtful and enjoyable book to read. I didn't expect it to be describing this book as enjoyable, given the topic, but the authors accomplished their goal in making a book about finances a fun read. The book offers very helpful and practical advice; it lacks the shenanigans of other books in this genre. The authors come across as humble and good-natured, with practical help for those who want to understand how to invest in the capital markets.

A pretty good book for teens in money and investing. They tried a bit too hard to speak 'teen-speak' but for the most part the information was clear, easy to understand, and simple to put into pratice.
