1 min read

BATB score: 8.5/10 🤑🥇💚
Get-Rich-Quick manual on investing in Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 stocks. Striking before the mass #InsiderTrading and fleeing before the crash #STOPLOSS. This book is definitely smarter than me.
Best for: amateur investors looking to make Warren Buffett proud (scoring >7% market growth - Berkshire Hathaway A-Class investment consultants)
Best to: know that in this book on the Most Important Thing (expecting singular 1), there were 21 Most Important Thingsss (actual plural - plenty shared - redundant at times)
Best as: the stock market is a pendulum swing on a string of luck (no such thing as up and up - duh)
Reader Discretion is Advised - all investments involve some degree risk - duh silly scooby doo 🐶
