    About this ebook

    The Entrepreneurial Investor will inspire you to treat investing like a business and to think of yourself as an owner. Through solid examples and a light narrative, Paul Orfalea skillfully explores the essence of the entrepreneurial investor, which includes balancing the art and science of this discipline, and viewing investing itself as a business. Along the way, he also examines how the elements of focus, opportunism, and involvement can improve your overall investment results.

      I was a little disappointed with the over simplified content. It felt that the authors wanted to share their thoughts on investing but weren't really committed to a well thought out book. All said, it is an easy to understand summary of value investing and would be really helpful to novice investors. Below are some key points from the booka. Think about stock as an ownership in a business and not like a piece of paper. Pretty much evident from the topic of the book.b. Diversification for distributing risk is really lazy investing that produces mediocre results. That's what mutual funds do.c. Individual investors could really beat the market with some discipline and home work.A lot of good ideas strewn here and there but not really elaborated well. That's why I'd like to call this book a summary of a lot of good ideas, but not a book to study and understand any of these in detail. May be that was the authors' motive, to keep it simple and introduce people to these great ideas.
