One of the Best

After reading a library copy of this, I understood the basics of the stock market much better than I had from other books. All the investment approaches he offers could be considered conservative. If you want a good book on conservative approaches to investing, then this is it.

The simplest way to beat the market.

The ideas I have developed over the last 33 years are all packed between the covers of this book--at least the ones that were worth preserving. Nothing important has been left out. No secrets are being denied to my readers. What's more, my innovative methods of stock selection are entirely my own and have not been purloined from another portfolio strategist. As a consequence, this book should be worthwhile reading for veteran investors. On the other hand, I am assuming many of my readers are new to the world of Wall Street and may not be familiar with the jargon of the investment world. To bridge this gap, I have devoted a chapter to terms and concepts that you will need if you are to become an effective investor.
