This covered a lot of stuff; I'm still in the early-beginner phase but I feel like it was very educational.

Professor Siegel's venerable analysis of the stock market is the comprehensive history and guide book you need. I'm well read in this genre and found Stocks for the Long Run unrivaled for several reason. More than anything, the clarity of the writing and supporting figures leaves little margin to dismiss the conclusions. Siegel is sharp in his analysis, which is backed by years of iterating and building on his own research along with the primary findings of finance and behavioral science experts. Siegel is also intellectually honest enough to bring out the rare criticisms of his work, in one case explaining how his past conclusions have since evolved. I especially appreciated the historical context and Siegel's ability to take a forward-focused point of view. The book ends with a practical summary for portfolio construction, based of course on the long-term benefits of stocks. ( )

Well written, descriptive overview of stocks and what manipulates their prices. Ultimately recommends indexed mutual funds and ETFs. Lots of informative tidbits. ( )

Advocates sticking to equity and argues that equity is the best asset class over long term.

Some chapters are very specific to US region - for e.g., tax treatment and some of the historical discussions (for e.g., recession/political issues) etc. ( )
