FredKobrick.com: Stock picking, investing, financial independence and making The Big Money with common sense

"I have always been afraid that trying to get rich with stocks, I would lose a lot of my money, since I cannot see competing with the pros. This book has changed my mind, and made me feel that I can really do it. I am going to start now.

I just read your epilogue and thought it was a great way to end your book. It reinforced the compelling message of focusing on a few important elements for investing and underscores for the reader the way they should be thinking about ideas from the book when they start to invest. I particularly like the comparisons to a scout, because as you say in your book, it's a big part of what people should be looking for when they invest: talent placed in the right context with the right opportunities. Reading the epilogue makes me want to read your book again, in fact. And I think I will."
