review 1: I gave this 4 stars for being thorough. If you're thinking about investing, or already at it, it's a helpful tool. It doesn't take long to see once you study the market, that what Camillo says is true. Stock market analysts and experts speculate with as much accuracy as a blind archer. He gives good common sense advice on how to use their ignorance to your advantage, figure out for yourself which way the market might flow and go with it for optimum return. A lot of it seemed redundant and overstated, but that might be more my grab-it-on-the-run absorption rate than his writing ability. If I knew nothing at all about the market, I might appreciate that he reiterated points already made, especially Apple's astounding success in spite of being dogged by market analysts.... more Word count could be cut considerably, unless you think it's better to prove your point too well than not well enough.
review 2: Laughing at Wall Street was an easy read with no advanced financial jargon. In all, it took me about 4 hours to read. As someone that does not have a financial background, I found it easy to understand Camillo's unique methodology behind turning $20K into over $2 million. The book shows how those that are off Wall Street can recognize emerging product trends in every-day life and replicate the author's success story in their own lives. After reading this book I found myself looking at products and trends in my life not just as the coolest or latest thing, but as an opportunity to win big. I am incredibly skeptical of anyone that might think they hold the key to success, but this collection of investment stories from the author are absolutely empowering and seemingly attainable. less
