Simpler, Safer Investing: How NOT to Lose Money, Over 110 Years of Investing History Cannot Be Wrong Kindle Edition

This is a great book for someone who want's to invest in the stock market and wants to pick safe stocks. The author's advice is to pick stocks in companies that provide a service or product that every one uses. These companies will never go out of business. Examples are: utilities, food suppliers, railroads, etc.. Another great piece of advice is to pick companies that pay dividends. These dividends should then be reinvested in buying more stocks. This is just a small sampling of the advice the author gives in this book. The book is not complicated and very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.

When people recommend books, I usually roll my eyes and forget it. But, after hearing people repeatedly quote Mr. Brown's principles, I picked up his book. I was duly impressed; written in a sharp, clear, easy-to-understand, and a pure pleasure to read. I read it in one afternoon. I know some people are afraid to wade into finance. I assure you, if you are a Harvard MBA or a stay-at-home Mom, you will enjoy this book and you will learn from it--I have already changed my portfolio based on Mr. Brown's ideas. I am an engineer, numbers and logic are what appeal to me. I strongly recommend this book, you will not regret buying it. And it's an enjoyable read to boot!
