I really enjoyed this book and I found it easy to read and understand. I think a lot of what is talked about in this book can still be applied today when it comes to buying stocks. Granted, this book is probably geared toward long-term holds of micro, small, and mid-cap stocks. Though the overall message being - retail investors have an opportunity to react quicker, in some cases, than large investment firms, who are often burdened with various restrictions on what they can and can’t buy.

One lesson I enjoyed in particular being watch where the public interest is - What comes to mind is when I noticed people started getting the Monster Energy Drinks logo tattooed on them back in 2008 - 2009. Or when the iPhone was released and everybody had to get one. Both stocks have been 24 -baggers since.
