  Mr. Hough has made the stock Market easy to understand and follow. I always felt intimidated by the process, but now I am finally able to make my own decision and not rely on someone else. I am looking forward to his next book, keep up the great work.

  I bought this book because I sometimes read Jack Hough’s stock stories on SmartMoney and two picks of his I followed have done great. I recommend the book to anyone who wants to make money in stocks. It’s pretty short, I read it in two days. The strategies make a lot of sense and the explanations are easy to understand.

  I agree with the earlier reviewer who noted that the most effective section of this book is the one that explains why many investors could be better off selecting their own stocks and avoiding mutual funds. The section on screening was interesting but would have been stronger with actual examples.

  As another reviewer noted, there are a few eyebrow-raising errors. Warren Buffett’s last name is misspelled throughout the book, for example. On page 97 the error is compounded in an unintentionally amusing way, when a reference to the styles of Buffett and Peter Lynch becomes “the Buffet and Lunch strategies.” Sounds like the copyeditor might’ve been distracted by hunger!

  All in all, a good introduction for Do-It-Yourself investors.

  I’ve read a lot of books on investing and put simply, this is one of the best books about stock picking I’ve read. It offers a straightforward yet effective methodology for finding good companies at good prices that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can use. The writing is clear and concise (and often witty), and the ideas are practical for any investor who wants to beat the broad market. (And which one doesn’t?)

  This is one of the best investment books I have read. It presents a strong case for why you should invest in stocks and why you should rely on yourself in doing that (instead of relying on analysts).

  The book describes the process of screening stocks in general and then presents a clear description of 12 screens that look for different kinds of quality stocks to buy. A chapter is devoted for each screen. I found the screens useful, sound, and well explained. The author presents a good explanation of the most important financial ratios and accounting concepts for readers that are not familiar with finance and accounting. Then, he shows how to use them wisely in building screens.

  One of the things I liked the most about the book is the presentation of results and ideas from many scholarly research articles from respected journals in finance and accounting. These journals are very important and the author seems to be following the research and results that appear in them.

  The missing star is for a couple of inconsistent conditions in one of the screens and a wrong statement about arithmetic averages on page 39. Other than that, I strongly recommend this book for every investor.
