Investing For The Rest Of Us: How To Invest In Stocks Using Index Funds: Passive Investing Strategies Everyone Can Use Paperback – 28 Nov. 2013

An excellent, well-written, concise book on investing in the markets.Ideally suited for a novice investor but also offers some suggestions for the foundation of any well-diversified portfolio. Like many investment books it is centred on the US markets, but substituting US for UK/domestic funds allows the reader to overcome this. I liked the use of quotes at the start of each chapter.I would recommend this as an essential read for those investors, new or old, who want to keep their investment costs low and construct a well-diversified portfolio.

I really liked the pragmatic way this was written: I devoured it in a night. Finally, a book to give the novice investor the confidence to start building an index portfolio and balance it up. I liked the candid discussion on the differing portfolio types. It's my favourite book on investing I've read so far, and I'm now starting on the further reading!

brilliant, a little padded out to make a books worth but excellent principle that works well and easy to follow and understand

Very good introduction to investing. I knew nothing about index investing or that it even existed until I read this book. I was looking for a book on mutual funds. After reading this book in less than a day, I walk away knowing that I have found a better vehicle for investing that anyone can understand. Although a lot of repeats to emphasize the points throughout the unto, I enjoyed reading, it is a book written for a novice.
