'This is not a work designed to be read through, but should be used as a reference work, to be dipped into when appropriate. At 24.99 for around 500 pages, it offers terrific value when compared with the extortionate cost of much investment advice offered by so-called financial professionals. The Global-Investor Book of Investing Rules will almsot certainly prove to be the most useful financial book published all year.' Luke Johnson, The Sunday Telegraph 'Investing Rules is compiled by Philip Jenks and Stephen Eckett of the Global Investor bookshop. They must have asked every author on their shelves - and a few others besides - to write down 10 useful rules for investors. About 150 responded. The outcome is a fascinating patchwork quilt with every strand of the subject briefly represented.' Alistair Blair, Investors Chronicle 'There is actually so much in The Book of Investing Rules that it is like a condensed library of the best financial publications. While many 'how to invest' books are a good one-off read this one goes a lot further: serious investors will mark and linger over key passages; re-read important sections many times over; and reference favourite contributions as a touchstone for developing and refining their own investment approaches. A real treasure chest of insights and ideas that we think readers of Techinvest will find both enjoyable and useful.' Conor McCarthy, Techinvest READER REVIEWS 1. 'A fantastic book which all investors should read. Instead of trying to tell you the right way to invest, the book just asks each of the worlds top investors for their 10 top rules. What you end up with is the reaslisation that there are many ways to skin a cat - the trick is deciding which way is best suited for you. For many investors, reading this book will be a humbling experience - The reasons for every investment mistake you ever made will be set out....and more importantly advice on how to avoid them in the future. An invaluable read which should be made compulsory for online investors! ' 2. 'The Book of Investing Rules is a fascinating summary of the tactics, strategies & insights relied upon by well known investors, fund managers, analysts and commentators. Each contributor provides focused & practical 'rules' on a particular theme within their area of expertise. Areas covered inc biotech, tech's, recovery stocks, surviving bear mkts, growth stocks, spotting acquisition targets, common mistakes etc. The reasoning behind the rules is carefully explained, allowing both the novice & experienced investor to benefit. This book is impressive not only for the depth & range of knowledge of the contributors, but also for the thoughtfulness & sincerity with which their advice is given. Having been written during the throes of a major bear market, there is a sense that greater thought has been given to their respective investment methods. This has resulted in a more realistic book, than would have occurred at the top of a bull mkt. To summarise this book is like a condensed collection of many of the best financial publications. It makes a good reference book, not just a one of read, many investors will reread key parts again & again. I recommend it for your desktop, not your bookcase! '
