What People Are Saying

Janet Lowe

Lawrence Cunningham explains, then debunks, most of today's acronyms, buzz words, and pop investing concepts. He gets down to the fundamentals that investors must know about companies in order to choose reliable winners in the stock market.
—(Janet Lowe, Author,Benjamin Graham on Value Investing and Warren Buffett Speaks )

Alan C. Greenberg

A much-needed work on a unique style of investing, this book puts the ABCs of common sense valuation back into the business of investing. This is the place to look for insight and guidance in the age of volatile markets and colliding ideas.
—(Alan C. Greenberg, Chairman, Bear Stearns)

David Henry

Remarkably timely. For stock players who realize they played the greatest fool in the Internet stock game, Cunningham offers a tool for rehabilitation: a guide to thoughtful investing. For earnest investors, he shows how to live profitably with the moodiness of Mr. Market.
—(David Henry, Columnist, USA Today)

J. Gottesman

Anyone desiring to be a successful investor should read this excellent book presenting the important investing principles of Graham, Buffett, Fisher, and others in a most insightful and understandable manner.
—(J. Gottesman, Chairman, First Manhattan)

J. Heyman

While the stock market does not always behave rationally, Larry Cunningham's well-articulated and insightful views as to value investing are a refreshing reminder that, just as night follows day, a return to the principles at the core of Cunningham's common sense approach to investing is inevitable.
—(J. Heyman, Chairman of the Board and CEO, GAF Corporation)
