Book Review: The New Coffeehouse Investor
I wrote a review for one of my favorite books The Coffeehouse Investor in February. A new edition came out this month. The title changed to The New Coffeehouse Investor.

Book Review: The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle
This is a catch-up review for The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle. When this book first came out in 2007, I listened to the audio book version. I thought it’s a great book but I never took the time to write a review for it. I read the actual book again […]
Book Review: A Fool and His Money by John Rothchild
After reading a few less than satisfying books, I turned to a list of classics. Classics are classics for a reason: because they are good! I read over the long weekend A Fool and His Money by John Rothchild. This book was published 20 years ago in 1988. If there were blogs back then, it […]

Book Review: The Coffeehouse Investor
I’m catching up on my book reviews. I realized there are many books I put on my recommended reading list for which I haven’t actually written a review. The Coffeehouse Investor by Bill Schultheis is one of them. I read this book during the 2000-2002 bear market. It was one of the books that tipped […]

I read The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets by Peter Schiff. Peter Schiff is President of Euro Pacific Capital, a broker/dealer in Darien, CT specializing in international markets. He is known on Wall Street as a permabear which means he has been bearish on the U.S. economy and stock market for a […]
Book Review: Rule #1 by Phil Town
I read the book Rule #1 by Phil Town while waiting for an oil change. As a book, it’s been a success. It received 4-1/2 stars from 156 customer reviews on Amazon. It got on the BusinessWeek Best Seller List. It also got an endorsement from the former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt on the back. […]
Nudge: Econs, Humans, and Choice Architecture
At the end of a previous post, Stories from Strapped: Debt, I asked, How do you make people do the right thing for themselves? This new book Nudge, by University of Chicago professors Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein, addresses exactly that question. Here’s a 8-minute video of the authors talking about this book. I find […]
