Rating: - Best investing book I've ever read
Yes, this is the best investing book I've ever read, but I never read the 2nd or 3rd editions so maybe they are better?

You do need a strong background in accounting to understand this book. There are some archaic accounting terms used in the book that no longer apply today. A law school course in Corporations ... Read More
