Product Description

Review
"Fools would be well–served to place The Little Book of Value Investing on their holiday shopping lists". (Fool.com, December 12, 2006)

"sharply written...gets you fired up about buying stocks" (USA Today, December 4, 2006)

"If you are a value investor by temperament, you will (or should) find a lot that is persuasive in what Christopher Browne has to say about the craft of value investing in a delightful new book out this autumn...It is nicely written and utterly persuasive if long–term investment success is what you are after and your temperament is equipped to handle the psychological pressures of making non–consensus investments." (The Independent, November 2006)

"elegant new treatise on the art of value investing. . ." (Financial Times (UK), October 30, 2006)

"...easily digestible and shortish treatise for anyone who wants to try out this particular investment strategy".  (The Wall Street Journal, October 10, 2006)

"After 37 years of practicing what Graham preached, Browne has distilled the creed into a disarmingly chatty primer. . ." (Bloomberg)

"one of the best guidebooks toward protecting and growing a retirement nest egg. This advice comes from a legend of value investing, and it’s presented with enough clarity that anyone can follow it." (Forbes.com)

5.0 out of 5 stars A focused guide to value investing, 19 Jan 2007
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This short book is surely among the most concise, informative investment guides ever written. Christopher H. Browne manages to make stock market investing as simple and straightforward as shopping for groceries. He sketches quickly, but in adequate detail, the main principles of value investing, offers guidance on how to use such basic information as P/E ratios, points the way to free online stock-screening services and, yet, makes no big promises about market success. His message is that value investors who do their homework patiently and thoroughly may expect good returns eventually. Instead of aggressive trading, he emphasizes the virtue of not taking action. We recommend this succinct tutorial to every investor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Give me the Big Book of Value Investing, 23 Dec 2007
By Mr. Martin P. Ellingham (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Leaves you wanting more, in a good way. The author does outline but doesn't quite detail the approach. This book gives a great introduction to the fascinating strategy that has helped shape many successful investors. Does exactly what it sets out to do, but will leave you wishing there was a "big book of value investing". Very relevant information which was one of the reasons I purchased this book. The dot-com bubble features highly, as well it should - for those stocks are quite the opposite to what a value investor is looking for.

Highly recommended read if you're looking for an investment strategy that will slowly turn your money into a sizeable sum. Reading this book should be one of your first steps on that slippery slope and I'm glad I took time to learn about value investing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very valuable and accessible introduction, 10 April 2007
By Siriam (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
An investment book with not a single table or chart but which in its just over 160 mini book pages distills the lifetime experience of a seasoned US value investor, who applies a global mindset and in his younger days followed in the footsteps of Ben Graham and Warren Buffett in terms of his initial work experience?

Yes, that is exactly what makes this such a pleasurable and valuable read plus an easily learnt education in the basic concepts of value investing and the skillset needed which the writer believes anybody with general investment awareness can apply. As the author states several times it is ultimately one of patience and accepting that this is a long term investment approach with "lumpy" performance in realising steady profits rather than graph like upward trends or "star manager" short term approaches and the related volatility they carry, given how the market values shares before recognising their true value by re-rating or being the subject of a bid.

The author has been a value based investor for nearly 40 years and is a partner in a successful US firm Tweedy Browne that only follows this approach. While some of the examples may seem likely to recur easily again (the more conservative accounting followed in certain non-US jurisdictions and the undervalue that produces) there is enough that is still current and valid to make this little tome a very valuable reference work for using by many amateurs like myself. Its mix of matter of fact examples and non-technical jargon make it a real and valuable find.
