Review: Invest like a pig farmer - David Schneider, a former hedge-fund manager, outlines a simple & effective approach to investing in this book. I'm a beginner to investing myself (I've been focusing on growing my own business instead) and found this book easy to follow. However, even advanced investors will find lots of value. The author challenges conventional wisdom - unsurprisingly many of the so-called 'investment best practices' out there that your broker is trying to sell you is in his best interest, not necessarily yours. Some of my biggest takeaways: * Cash is a position. Investing a large % of your net worth in the market may be in your broker's best interest, not necessarily yours (depends on market conditions). * Make few, well-researched trades. * "Buy when there's blood in the streets." * Buying S&P 500 isn't always the smartest choice. Schneider practices what he preaches - he publicly shares his recent trades on his website. For example, over the last couple of months he made significant gains by buying Volkswagen and crude oil at their all-time lows. I now feel prepared to deploy cash in a smart manner the next time I see a no-brainer opportunity. Highly recommended. (To get the pig farmer reference you'll have to read the book :))
Review: Great book for young investors who don't want to be consumed by investment decisions - Great read for a young investor who is curious about how to reach financial freedom without sinking too much time into it. Pairing the principles of saving money and creating a high margin of saftey are always logical approaches. For those that are just beginning and want to be conservative in their approach while still receiving their fair share of the markets returns, I would also recommend John Bogle's "Little Book of Common Sense". These two books would be a great starter package for the young conservative investor who is skeptical of the markets. If you are looking for something a little more advanced then I would recommend "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham which emphasizes the importance of value investing and creating a high margin of saftey for yourself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for young investors who don't want to be consumed by investment decisions
*by R***S on March 30, 2018*

Great read for a young investor who is curious about how to reach financial freedom without sinking too much time into it. Pairing the principles of saving money and creating a high margin of saftey are always logical approaches. For those that are just beginning and want to be conservative in their approach while still receiving their fair share of the markets returns, I would also recommend John Bogle's "Little Book of Common Sense".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Pareto-focused, historical approach to practical investing
*by D***R on March 7, 2016*

Yes, this book is an excellent Pareto principle-driven approach to investing. Yes, it strips out the BS. Yes, it will rekindle your lingering drive to become Gordon Gecko. All of the above is how the author brings you through the door. Here's what kept me reading... Schneider's keen attention to history. He mixes in stories from figures like Ben Franklin and Marcus Licinius Crassus. If you're allergic to tales from the past, I still think you'll enjoy this one - he doesn't get bogged down in the history, but he uses it to make laser-targeted points about practical investing. This was truly a fun and helpful read.
