Sun. evening OT: "I got the book at the library, but may purchase if I find it cheap."

LOL! Now that is a value investor!!

I once did a review of "The Millionaire Next Door", a book which showed how "ordinary" but frugal people were able to become millionaires. The authors suggested that readers who wanted to become millionaires too should emulate this millionaire behavior. My point was then that anybody who followed this should NOT buy the book - no wanna-be millionare would or should spend the twenty-plus bucks for it. They'd get it from the library. I was astonished that the book was on the 'best seller' list!! And I wondered what the authors would say about that, given that from their research, spending money on something that could be got free is just something their millionaires would not be doing.

Paul Senior,
who has been looking for this Greenwald investing book at his local library.
