It is quite a practical book from one of the greatest fund manager. Very useful if you invest in markets and intend to improve your investing skills. Quite insightful chapters on banking stocks, restaurant stocks, retail stocks and charts in general. In addition, the way the book has been written is quite interesting. I hope to keep it always in my book shelf and refer to it whenever I need.
