Good Book

This is a good book, discussing some basic, to medium-depth princples and individual wisdoms. This book was written in an easy to read format, and the ideas that doing your research coupled with consumer sentiment drive investment decisions. This book carries many of the same principles as Buffett and Lynch, but is also contrarian on many of the ideas that Buffett and Lynch live by.

This book is great

I can't put down this book. This is book is just like the Fool's book. It has the same ideas in it and it eleborates it a little more.

Great book from one of the brightest young minds on Wall St.

Matt Seto takes simplicity along with accuracy and puts together a superb fundamental strategy. He explains his Wall Street terminalogy in a clear dinstint way and shows you the way to find the resources. Matt Seto reminds me of a new breed of investors, one that combines the value interest of Ben Graham and the growth aspect of Peter Lynch. Take notes of this sensational man, because he has something that Wall Street doesn't have enough of, and that's youth. Great Job Matt!

One of the most worth reading books on investment education.

I first read this book in the library. I loved this book so much I decided to buy one. It is a book not only to guide you how to invest your money, but also a book on how to educate yourself to become successful in life generally. It's ideas are from a very young person in lucid language with a great sense of humor. Many examples and informations in the book make this whiz kid real and convincing. The world would be much better if there were more self-educating kids like Matt Seto.

Excellent guide for the beginner, but also for rusty veteran

One of the better books I've read on fundamental analysis, and you can't miss with the great explanations and a glossary of terms in the back. Matt plays the market like a lot of Grahamite investors, and he shows you how he does it (with a hint of Lynch Laws and Peter Principles)!
