- One Up On Me!
I too was quite shocked by the size of this edition. Don't buy this edition... it isn't worth it and I sure felt that I was "One Uped On".

I think the two good reviews must be about the Paperback edition not this mini one. I spent over £4 (incl postage) on this silly little book when I could have bought the Paperback (full) version for £6.99. Pay the little extra cause this one certainly ain't worth buying!!

- Miniature Edition
I was shocked as well when I received the book as it is just a frase book... Be careful and do not order it by mistake, as by the comments below I can tell I have not been the only one!!!

- Who wishes to beat the market
The main idea of "One up on Wall Street" is to beat the market by choosing a small portfolio of stocks of 3-10 companies that grow at a higher rate than the market average. The book doesn't cover mutual funds, index funds and exchange-traded funds, because the author claims that "if you don't think you can beat the market, then buy a mutual fund and save yourself a lot of extra work and money".

The book encourages you to become an aggressive investor, who has a good understanding of financial markets; is comfortable with taking risks with their investments; is not concerned about short-term volatility (fluctuation in returns); and invests for the longer-term. This encouragement is done in a very friendly tone, it is easy to understand, ... Read More:

- the way to win
I have been reading a few books about the stock market lately. So far, it is the book that has inspired me most.

I have noticed that most of the truly big winners in the stock market are long-term investors, which indeed challenges my desire to make a quick money in the stock market. I have tried to adjust my attitude toward stock market thanks to the inspiration given by the books I read recently, especially "One Up on Wall Street". To be specific, I found Part II of the book, Picking Winners, is very useful to me. It gave me an opportunity to review the tactics I have used so far.

I think that this book should be useful to you as well, as long as you want to stay in the stock market with a long-term view.

- Sound logic from a seasoned pro
Having been an investor in The Magellan Fund for many years I found this book a fascinating read. The author, a professional fund manager (now retired I believe), opens up his entire "playbook" of strategies and its impossible for any reader not to finish reading this publication wiser.

I particularly liked his no nonsense approach to researching companies and their products. It's a strategy anyone can follow but very few seldom do. Going to the shopping mall to see which shops are busy, then going in those shops to see which products are selling well might not seem very technical but I love his logic. Such an approach would have definitely saved a few thousand people, hundreds of thousands of dollars during the dot.com boom that's for sure. ... Read More:
