Good, Timely Strategies & Tactics from a Well-informed Expert, 2008-11-12
As a financial planner myself, I was a bit skeptical about Mr. Horowitz's methodologies, but I must say that given the current market conditions and the totally changed investing landscape, the buy and hold approach of yesterday no longer applies. Tactical moves in an ever volatile market with the disciplined approach that Mr. Horowitz's espouses can be just the thing to balance the playing field. Through listening to his podcast and now reading his book, I can heartily recommend this well written and detailed approach to investing. It's not for the faint of heart though, as option strategies and other sophisticated tools can be overwhelming for those not committed to taking the time to really understand the material. If you are, then this book can be just what you need to get going and better understand how to handle the investing landscape.

Rules to Trade By..., 2008-10-29
With the current volatility in the market, The Disciplined Investor gives the essential strategies to give even the most novice investor (me) a fighting chance. The book mainly covers stock screening, chart reading, and fundamental analysis, the trifecta of Horowitz's recipe for successful investing in any market. It also has description and uses for mutual funds and annuities and how they fit into a diversified and balanced portfolio. I would have given 5 stars for more detail on the technical side, such as picking buy/sell points, but at this price point, this book was a great introduction to investing in the stock market.

With these tools, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to stand up to the bullish market trumpeters and take control of your own money. Of course you need to do your own research and determine your goals and risk tolerance, so good luck!

Awesome book from investor who gives real advice, 2008-10-25
I've listened to his podcasts as well as his segments on TWIT, and Andrew is a true find. Down to earth, gives you real advice, and doesn't scare you with hype as some do. If you take Cramer and Andrew it's a 100% opposite. Good info in book and a must read for investors in this volatile market. If you're looking to impress someone for the holidays and they want to know about the market, get them this book.

Exactly what I hoped for, 2008-06-30
I have been a avid listener of Andrew Horowitz podcast, and was reluctant to buy the book only because of fear of reading the same stuff I hear. I wrong. His book compliments his podcast and provides an powerful way to help develop a discipline (profitable) investor.

A Must Read, 2008-06-10
I just finished reading Andrew's book. I feel that he wants to do the best job he can to give you a very complete overview of investing in a very clear and concise manner. He seems to want to help you protect yourself so that you can avoid many of the mistakes most beginning investor's make. I have already instituted many of his recommendations into my own investing strategies. You must make this book a part of your library.
