One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market by Peter Lynch
4.0
Pretty solid book
it's a little outdated such as his thoughts on housing, dealing with brokers, and obtaining information. That's a given though since this book was written in the 1980s.
His overall philosophy for the average invester is pretty damn good though. In a way, he simplifys it a bit too much but overall it's still pretty good. Kinda motivates the reader to go out and analyze companies and beat the experts at their own game. Wish he talked more about portfolio theories though. He only briefly talks about it for maybe 20 pages? as oppose to the fundamental analysis of companies which comprises around 150+ pages. Even that, it's a little simpliefied as well but this book was before SOX legislation so I understand why he doesn't talk much about the financial analysis of companies.
Overall, pretty good. If you hold for the long term, the principles he posits are 5 star advice.
