A real good book
I am from Brazil, and I never had watched her TV programs. I brought the book with curiosity, due the opposite opinions of the readers.
As indicated on the title, it is how to separate noise from news. How many nuggets one can find reading tons of newspaper or hours watching TV, during a lifetime?
This is a usefull book. It should be carefully studied.How to separate nuggets and noise in this book is your first task. If you are able to do this; then you will SURELY make money in any economy!

Not as bad as some think
...I happen to think she is a very smart and charismatic woman, in addition to being strikingly beautiful. This book is aimed at investing novices...I was left pretty much clueless about investing. I relied on him to do all that. This book was a real help in those dark times. Bravo!

Some things never change
I could have just as easily borrowed from PT Barnum and made the subject line: "There's a sucker born every minute."Anyone who's watched Maria in action on CNBC and who knows ANYTHING about making money in the markets has to realize she couldn't trade, speculate, or invest her way out of a paper bag on her own.
The fact that a book like this could be written; the fact that a book like this could sell; and, disturbingly, that such a vacuous treatment (but then why should it be any different than her "on-air" persona?) could garner so many favorable reviews speaks volumes re the gullibility of the "investing" public.
Oh well, I guess I should be glad--it provides yet more evidence that for all the modern technology and superficial sophistication in the financial world, the market game is likely to pretty much remain the same at the core.
If you want to be "dumb money" follow Maria and by all means STUDY this book. If you want to make money, you could probably do better by picking any number of other investing books almost at random.
