 Disappointed February 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Basically you can skip the first 50 pages if your looking for investing guidance. The second 50 or so not very good. Just more stories and examples which do not help. I passed on a number of books on Warren Buffets investing because this one was so HIGHLY regarded by some people and their reviews on Amazon. Wish I could send back this small book and get my money back. Bottom line, pass on this one.
Great inspirational book January 30, 2008

I read this books in no time and found it to be very inspirational. It explains much about what you see all around you today. I am not sure how true some of the motel/hotel investments would hold up in today's environment. But seeing it was accomplished you can only wonder what other kind of opportunities like it there are.
Fancy title for common sense January 23, 2008

There is nothing in the book that is not just common horse sense. Its examples are from ethnic Indians (from India) in the diaspora, but that is only for color. Simple and clear things we all know and always forget.
Little Value for a Book on Value Investing! January 21, 2008
9 out of 15 found this review helpful
I learned very little from this book. This is one of those investing books that devote more than 50% of the pages to stories that have nothing to do with investing and the remaining 50% is sorta, kinda related to investing. The author spends countless pages talking about his tribe in India and how cool they are. With all due respect to his tribe and all the tribes in India, I did not buy this book to learn about tribes; I bought it to learn about value investing!
The main idea of the book is to look for investments that if successful will have a high return and if unsuccessful have a limited down side. Is this worth writing a whole book about it? I doubt it!
 Just OK January 12, 2008

Overall this book is just OK. The concept of the book is "Heads I win. Tails I don't lose much". While this is a good philosophy implementing it is harder than this book leads you to believe.
The books presents solid arguements why you should only make a few investments and only when the odds are stacked in your favor but is lacking if you are looking for guidance in how to do that.
If you are new to investing and not sure what value investing is and/or why it makes sense then this book would be a good intro. On the otherhand if you already believe in the concept of value investing then you won't get much from this book.
