User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Forty Years a Speculator
This is an excellent read for anyone interested in microcap investing or any type of investing for that matter. Mr. Carach delivers sound advice drawing on his years of personal experience. The book is written in an easy to understand format and punctuated with a sense of humor that is refreshing and too often missing from most investment books. Take a look into his speculative world of the “Riverboat gambler.”
5 Stars Good Read
A good read for the person who is trying to turn a little money into a lot of money. This book gives you many categories of stocks to consider and the author lists his favorites in each sector.
A word of caution because these are very speculative stocks with high volatility. I like his practice of keeping one third of his portfolio in speculative plays while allocating two thirds to income stocks producing dividends of at least 6%.
Very entertaining with just the facts and no fluff.

5 Stars A WONDERFUL BOOK
This is a wonderful book. I have to agree with all the positive remarks in these 5 star reviews. The strategies are different and unique and I believe will work. I’m sure going to give them a try anyway. But, to me, the background material Mr. Carach includes adds so much to the book. It makes whats been going on in our economy much more understandable and thereby helps you understand why the investment strategies presented will work. The section called “The Wrath of Adam Smith” for example is a real eye opener. I highly recommend this book.
5 Stars Ignite your passion to finally build a winning portfolio!

5 Stars Great book, lots of information
Fred Carach does an excellent job of explaining why following the herd is a bad strategy. Unlike most investment books, this book provides you with a serious strategy based on the author’s investment experience. Fred has put his money where his mouth is and is sharing what he has learned along the way. He outlines his strategy of creating a portfolio of income earning stocks combined with speculative penny stocks. Fred then takes it a step further with a list of choice stocks from his own portfolio along with his reasons for favoring these stocks. If you’re expecting a list of the typical blue chips, you won’t find it here. These are the best stocks you’ve never heard of.
If you’re tired of following the herd and paying so-called experts to lose money for you, you need to read this book.
