Foreword: This Book Always Works
The advice in this book works. It keeps you out of dangerous stocks and shows you how to find good stocks that make money over time.
I wrote the first edition in 1996 and 1997, just before the market began its steep ascent into the bubble of the century. Back then, Enron and WorldCom were talked about as must-own companies and the internet was expected to put so-called old economy companies like Wal-Mart out of business. Who would walk the aisles of a store when they could shop online in their pajamas?
Plenty of us, evidently. In the five years following this book's first publication to its update in fall 2002, Wal-Mart stock rose 181 percent while most internet startups disappeared and Enron and WorldCom declared bankruptcy. On November 29, 2002 Wal-Mart racked up $1.43 billion in sales - on that day alone. The two leading internet merchants at that time, Amazon.com and eBay, had annual sales of only $3.62 billion and $1.02 billion respectively.
This book would have kept you out of Enron, WorldCom, and the dot com disasters. It would not have kept you out of the market's volatility, and no approach to stocks will. The market is volatile in the short term and rises over the long term. Almost all attempts to get around that basic profile involve a lot of work for nothing.
So what kind of experience should you hope for in the stock market? One like you would have had from Anheuser-Busch. I use the world's largest brewer to explain sales and price-to-sales in Chapter 7 and pointed out in the first edition that its stock was selling at a price cheaper than Coca-Cola's. Anheuser-Busch sold for $19.91 at the end of November 1997. In November 2002, more than two-and-a-half years into the bear market, it sold for $53.70, a five-year gain of 170 percent. The company's annual sales grew from $10 billion in 1995 to $13 billion in 2002, when it said in November that it was having an "excellent" year and that it expected its strong earnings growth to continue.
You want companies like Wal-Mart and Anheuser-Busch working for your money. This book shows you how to find them. Its methods win in flat markets, rising markets, and falling markets because superior companies always come out on top.
Invest in them and you'll come out on top, too.

The Neatest Little Guide stands alone. There is no other book on the market like this one. |

This book is a gem. It's the only new book about stock investing to earn a place beside the classics by Graham, Fisher, and Lefevre. Jason Kelly has a splendid way with words and teaches everything a person needs to know to profit from the stock market. He even manages to get a laugh here and there, something I've found to be rather rare among money books. While this title may be redundant to old pros, it is the best choice for novices. That said, this old pro found himself engrossed in the pages for an entire evening. Mr. Kelly, take a bow. You've penned the newest classic in the body of investment literature. |

This is one of the better investment books I have seen.
Kelly's book is written in a straight-forward manner, without the dryness that often infests other investment books. Yet, this book is not filled with fluff.
Kelly gives a very interesting discussion about the similarities and differences between the stock picking philosophies of various investors such as Buffet, Lynch, and several others. Kelly then borrows what he considers to be the best ideas from each, and builds his own investing philosophy.
The system Kelly presents, however, is not a gimmicky get-rich-quick scheme. It involves lots of work and an unemotional attitude. Kelly's system can be summed up as "do your homework".
Perhaps the most useful section of this book is the very last section, which contains a worksheet and stock watch table you can use to organize and analyze your stocks.
