The 8-Step Beginner’s Guide to Value Investing: Featuring 20 for 20 - The 20 Best Stocks & ETFs to Buy and Hold for The Next 20 Years: Make Consistent ... Even in a Bear Market (Stock Investing 101) Paperback – June 11, 2020

This book cuts through all of the heavy duty technical analysis and serves up an easy to understand process for making good investment decisions. I have ready other books in the Freeman Publications family and have taken valuable information from each. I plan to continue with the other books. Highly recommended for those looking to simplify their investing approach.

Well-written and structurally sound this is a beginner to intermediate level look-in on the stock market with a mindful eye towards today's special economic conditions. Though some of the early content was a review for me, I found the book thorough and full of good solid investment advice.Much of the second half of the book is a rundown of many of the investments stock choices that the author considers foundational in a balanced portfolio. I really enjoyed this element because many times in books such as these they don't give actual recommendations. So I give the author props on that and I may be taking some of this advice in my own investing. In my opinion this is a solid 5-star book, if you are looking to do some research on this topic. Recommended.

Written so anyone can follow. Quality is directly related to your interest level. I had high interest so read it quickly and have benefited. Have loaned it to others in my investment group that thought it dry and took weeks to read. I found it much easier to understand than approximately 20 other books I’ve read

I bought this book as I had decided as a 2021 goal that I wanted to learn about the Stock Market. I've always had a very basic knowledge about the stock market but never really understood it fully. This book gives the beginner and the more advanced investor a good understanding about the foundations and fundamentals of "investing" and I mean "investing", not get rich quick. The authors offer valuation spreadsheets and online tutorials which make the reading a person does, come to life. Thanks to their book and offerings, my confidence in understanding the market has grown exponentially. I still have ALOT to learn but I plan to learn from them. I've now purchased their cryptocurrency book as this is another area I have NO understanding. If it's anything like 20 for 20, it will be considered an excellent purchase. I fully recommend this book and have bought it as a gift for others who I know are also interested in the market. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of the more interesting books that I've read lately on the topic. The book looks at long-term value investing—very long-term, as the book actually includes a list of what the authors consider to be the best 20 stocks to hold for 20 years. But the book is a lot more than just this list. The authors talk about what they call rational and value investing and discuss what holding long-term positions means. Definitely a very different approach to the stock market than is typically seen in books these days, which seem to focus on day trading or see three months as a “long-term” position. The authors don't advise jumping in and buying all 20 on their list at once. They certainly go into the best strategies of when to buy any stock, including these, and how to use the understanding of the long-term economic prospects of a company to fuel your investing decisions. A fascinating read for sure!

I learned some great prospectives on things to consider when purchasing company stocks. Although, the explanation was straight forward and appeared to be simple I cannot wait to test it out in my portfolio. TBC

Leveraging the "Rational Process Investing" followed by the likes of Warren Buffett, the book enumerates discerning aspects of value investing by focusing on long-term prudent investing. A well written and easy to understand book, the book delineates that stock prices are fueled by emotions in the short-term and math in the long term. This explains the importance of only investing money you don't need for the next decade, with tax-free retirement account being the recommended way to begin investing.The book does a wonderful job of explaining why Risk is defined by our expertise in evaluating it, and the benefits of long term investing. It provides examples of how reputed companies can be analyzed using customized recommendations that will work for an average investor. The highlight of the book is how it helps us understand how to separate paper losses from real losses, and how to account for inflation in analyzing our investments. A must-read book for strategic investors.

very helpful information. easy to read and understand. written during covid when market valuations were low… most of the 20 stock picks now way overvalued.
