review 1: A short decent book on investing stressing three major themes: 1) Saving, 2) index investing and 3) tax efficiency.Robert Malkiel (Random Walk Down Wall street) and Charles D. Ellis (Winning the Loser's Game) are adamant proponents of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and the book should be read with this in mind.The advice given is solid for the average investor or just for anyone who wants to fret less about savings and investing and just want to get it over with and move on.
review 2: This is a good short overview of the basics, as the subtitle "Easy Lessons" implies. It's a good starting point for a young adult.However, if you already know the basics, you are unlikely to learn anything new. If you know you shouldn't carry credit card debt; if you kn... moreow you should spend less than you earn; if you know you should diversify and use index funds and rebalance ..... then you already know what this book has to say. Still, it is certainly worth a skim, or as a gift for a high school grad or college student. less
