A wonderful "first investing book"
Ellis Traub has gotten it *just* right: a beginning investing book that isn't so basic that it doesn't say anything (experienced investors can get a lot out of this), yet is very approachable and easy to read. The basic philosophy of "buy quality growth stocks at a reasonable price" is clearly illustrated - - - he doesn't just talk general philosophy, but instead shows you exactly how you can do your own stock analysis.This approach to investing has long been a core part of the success of the "investment club" phenomenon, but with "Take Stock" Ellis makes it available to everyone. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in investing in the stock market.

Finally, a "How To" Investor's Guide
We know that the stock market is the place to go with our investment dollars. What we don't always know is how to proceed. In plain language, Ellis Traub leads us through the process. He teaches us how to seek out companies of high quality, how to determine a reasonable price at which to purchase them, and how to follow them up after purchase. Peter Lynch told us that we can do this. Ellis Traub tells us how to do it with step by step instructions that will be of immediate value to novice and advanced investor alike. Take Stock is a must read for anybody interested in accumulating wealth safely through investing in the common stocks of fundamentally sound growth companies for the long term.

There are better books. Avoid this one.
The book does not really go into any investment process and is confusing. I prefer Value Investing Today or Ben Graham's books. Avoid this one. Similar Products
