Fred Schwed's Where are the Customers' Yachts?: A modern-day interpretation of an investment classic Paperback – August 23, 2010

The story is old but the ideas are still new. Beginning stock market investors and even old hands will find this an interesting book. It is always a good idea to look at a new investment to see if the customers have any yachts or is all the money going to the investment salesperson or company. This is a non technical book which is well organized and provides basic guidelines for investors. I can see why Warren Buffet likes this book.s

Really, really funny. The title says it all. I just did not realize this was a rewriting of the classic--was looking for the original. But chock full of wisdom for anyone with money to invest, particularly those who are trying to invest on their own.

Not the original text - I think that it would be better if Mr. Gough followed the format of Mr. Jason Zweig when he re-released the Intelligent Investor where the full chapter was included followed by "modern day" commentary.

I liked the shortness and the sweetness of this book. By embellishing on an old book, the author revitalizes many old stock market axioms and presents them in an easily digestible format. Pick any chapter, and in a few minutes you can refresh yourself on ideas that for the most part have been around a long time.

This book is recommended by Warren Buffett himself and now me. It’s an updated version written by an Englishman so it takes a little translation of financial terms, but not too much.

I wish I could give this zero stars.STOPThis is not the book you want -- if you are on this page, then you are probably looking for "Where Are the Customers' Yachts: or A Good Hard Look at Wall Street byFred Schwed"That is not what THIS book is -- the cover art makes this appear as if its the classic book on investing -- BUT ITS NOT

Recommended. Quick and valuable read. Good book for anyone interested and just getting started in investing. Plenty of good quotes.

Number one this is an easy book to read.Number two the data from prior years and current years are still applicable.Number three think of the material as you are reading it, don't just blow by the material. You have some deep stuff to read.Number four enjoy the book.
