Customer Reviews

Good read for novices3
books in the "collection of tips" genre tend to be at least a little superficial--the format doesn't lend itself to pithy exposition--but 501 Stock Market Tips reads well, like having a week's worth of lunch conversations with a more experienced investor who expresses himself well. You can argue with some of his viewpoints--Khan is very skeptical that novices can master market timing and admonishes them toward a strictly long-term value approach, but it's worth reading his accumulated experience on a wide range of subjects. Remarks on various matters such as PE ratios may be more to the point than some of what you might read in lengthier monographs. An individual investor with a day job could not possibly employ the idealized and extensive O'Neill/IBD-style stock screening regime he recommends, but one at least gets a comprehensive picture of the value selection process.

This book is a breeze to read (but could have been proofread better--there are many missing words and misspellings to interrupt your train of thought) and you might devour it in a weekend. Bon apetit!
