Review on the One Up on Wall Street

            One Up on Wall Street is a very helpful book for every individual who wants to earn the knowledge about the behavior of stocks in the financial market and what is the best way to select the securities’ best portfolio. The writer of the book has shared his real-life experiences in the book and told the audience that how he dealt with and how he felt about the success and losses when investing in the stock market. Personally, I really like the book and seemingly the author has made such difficult concepts and terms so much easier. Originally, I picked the book after reading so much about the investing style of Warren Buffett as I wanted to explore the investing style of some other as well. Although the book was a good read, it was specific to the style of one single personality where the author explained how he developed his success strategies.

        While the book is very good to read, it is specific to the personal investing style of the author. The experiences of the author are dated enough that makes it inapplicable entirely and anymore as the financial markets are emerging day by day. Hence, it is better to classify the book as the history or biography of investing style of the author. There is the forward written in the book in which the one update has provided by the author to his material, but, I think, there should have been more such updates so that the book could be entirely classified as the guide on making the personal investing decisions. The good thing about the book is that it is easily understandable for non-financial people because everything is described in an easy way.
