Book Review: Wealth Creation Thoughts

The Book ‘Wealth Creation Thoughts’ is authored by veteran investor Raamdeo Agrawal .

I thought the Book would be about identifying stocks which can create wealth etc

Instead, the Book turned out to be a collection of sayings/utterances from great investors like Buffett,Munger etc

The sayings often have spelling mistakes and are without attribution to the original source.

The “wealth creation thoughts” are those kind of phrases which sound great but have very little practical application

For instance, sample the following:

“Everyone has the brain power to make money in stocks, but few have the stomach instead”

“The public buys most at the top and least at the bottom”

I would rather you avoid this Book and buy me a Beer instead !
