Customer Reviews

Common Sense Approach to Investing

While this book might not be flashy enough for today's dot.com crowd, which thinks it can make a fortune through rapid day trading, I found it to be excellent reading for those who want to build a solid, long-term stock portfolio. My guess is if you follow the advice in this book, you'll make a ton more money than you will trying to play the day trading game. What's more, I found the investor biographies to be very interesting reading. It was a nice break from other investment books which seem to overlooad readers with a bunch of numbers and jargon. I especially recommend this book to readers who are rather new to investing. It is a fun read that's easy to understand.

Fundamental rules of investing

I found this book to contain an enormous amount of practical information for long term investment success. This isn't a book for day traders, but for those who want to build a steady, sure investment program using time-tested techniques. It's very easy to read and understand. I also very much enjoyed the biographies of the featured managers. It shows their varied backgrounds and how their past experiences shaped their investment beliefs. This is much better than most of the investment books out there today that simply have a bunch of charts and numbers. I highly recommend "Growing Rich with Growth Stocks."

Insightful Approach to Investing

I bought this book after seeing Kazanjian on TV. It's really an excellent guidebook for investing. The book is also very interesting and easy to read. No complicated formulas, just good common sense that every investor should follow. It's also interesting to read about the gurus Kazanjian interviewed. It's like getting a great biography and investment advice in one book!

Excellent Book for All Investors

This is a great primer for both experienced and novice investors. It contains the 12 rules of investment success and shows what to look for when buying any stock. I also enjoyed the biographies of the five featured managers. It's very interesting to hear about what makes them tick. This was a very enjoyable and easy-to-understand book. Kazanjian is a wonderful writer who makes learning about investing fun.
