Each contributor provides focused & practical 'rules' on a particular theme within their area of expertise. Areas covered inc biotech, tech's, recovery stocks, surviving bear mkts, growth stocks, spotting acquisition targets, common mistakes etc. The reasoning behind the rules is carefully explained, allowing both the novice & experienced investor to benefit.

This book is impressive not only for the depth & range of knowledge of the contributors, but also for the thoughtfulness & sincerity with which their advice is given.

Having been written during the throes of a major bear market, there is a sense that greater thought has been given to their respective investment methods. This has resulted in a more realistic book, than would have occurred at the top of a bull mkt.

To summarise this book is like a condensed collection of many of the best financial publications. It makes a good reference book, not just a one of read, many investors will reread key parts again & again.

I recommend it for your desktop, not your bookcase!
