May 06, Steve Bradshaw rated it liked it Shelves: A solid yet very bullish defense of long-term investing for investors with a horizon of 20 years or more. If your investment horizon is less even if its 10 or 15 years this book must be read in combination with Robert Shiller's Irrational Exuberance.

With this in mind, Siegel provides some interesting thoughts and some great analysis on years of data. This has been due to unexpected yet devastating periods of inflation that come along more often than people realize and wipe out real returns on bonds stocks fare better over the long term given their link to real assets.

That said, Siegel's key points are worth reading and considering - perhaps a level between the two authors is an appropriate yardstick going forward. I was concerned to find chapters toward the end of the book on calendar stock market effects and technical and momentum investing strategies - things that should clearly not find a place in a book titled "stocks for the long run"! Despite, weakening substantially toward the end of the book and the author's clearly bullish bias one that has cost a lot of investors a lot of money given the books first release in !

I found this an interesting companion to the likes of Shiller, Klarman, Montier and Graham and would recommend it those interested in learning what different asset classes have done over the last years and what realistic expectations could be going forward.

From where should I begin? This "peace of art" is a must read for anyone who is interested in investment specially those who care most about stock markets. It is crystal clear to anyone who reads this book, the "enormous" effort done by the author of this book.

There are hundreds of tables, graphs, comparisons, studies, Actually, the book is so rich and so good that I cannot express how good is it. When The Washington Post said about this book: I think I am not able to write a review that contains what can you find in the book. So, take a look at the table of contents and you will know what to expect.

I can assure who ever read this book that he will not only have a comprehensive understanding about stocks but the correlation between stocks with nearly everything. I will definitely read the book again and I will read certain chapters again and again and again. May 07, George Jankovic rated it liked it. Fantastic book, great analysis, but a wrong conclusion that stocks can be bought at any time e.

Siegel draws together a lot of interesting facts about the market while making his case for well diversified equity investment over long time horizons. The cold, affectless details of investing are at odds with the emotional investment that we have in our assets, and this populist book makes a decent attempt to bridge that gap by detailing common investment mistakes and suggesting a carefully predetermined investment strategy that incorporates index funds.

Ironically Chapter 19's narrative struc Siegel draws together a lot of interesting facts about the market while making his case for well diversified equity investment over long time horizons. Ironically Chapter 19's narrative structure, the books biggest nod toward its broad audience, is also one of the books worst chapters.

The awkward, lifeless characters of this chapter provide a stark contrast to Siegel's otherwise enthusiastic tone. The contents of such a book are difficult to digest, given that it brings together a large body of research to reinforce its relatively simple concept, but I appreciate the style as effectively explains the reasoning behind its case for diversified equity investment.

I also found the books many diversions quite interesting, in particular its discussion of inflation and the creation of money in the United States and elsewhere. I expect that this novel will positively influence my personal investment strategy, and I also believe that it has provided an excellent platform from which to explore other financial and economic topics.

May 16, Chris rated it liked it. The most valuable part of the book is the historical return data and accompanying analysis. He presents interesting reference information on returns, sector composition of the stock markets over time and geographies, and the performance of various strategies that attempt to outperform the market.

Siegel presents a convincing case for the historical outperformance of stocks in the US, but does not aggressively tackle the most obvious critique of this work - that by analyzing the current hedgemon it is not surprising he finds great historical performance of financial instruments linked to growth.

He extrapolates past returns to predict future returns, without accounting for the selection bias. See Triumph of the Optimists: That book offers a more academic and more realistic perspective. Still - this is a worthwhile read for amateur investors. A must read for those who are inclined to believe that sending your hard-earned money to strangers on Wall Street who promise to send back even more money over the next 20 - 30 yrs will end well.

This still one of the classic stock market investing books by a brilliant economic professor at the Univ. If you own stocks you need to own this book.

This review is for the fifth edition which should be read over past editions for sure with additional information on more recent trends and the great recession of Excellent book that covers many different topics, supports the firm foundation theory and fundamental analysis of equities.

Favors fundamental or value index funds, dividend paying companies with long term growth, low risk long term investing. Obviously biased towards long term investments. I tend to agree with many of the author This review is for the fifth edition which should be read over past editions for sure with additional information on more recent trends and the great recession of I tend to agree with many of the authors suggestions based on the data but ignoring higher risk short term opportunities does prevent some potential profits but could keep you from losing a lot as well.

Mar 05, Chris rated it it was amazing Shelves: A good follow up to a Random Walk Down Wall Street. A good source to show much of the long term data that should drive an investing strategy with adequate reminders if you are attentive - Siegel has a bullish reputation that the next years may not have similar outcomes to the last and that we may be looking at a future of lower stock yields. It remains logical to believe that there should still be a risk premium of stocks over bonds, but it seems unlikely to be as large in the future a A good follow up to a Random Walk Down Wall Street.

The author is an advocate of equity long term passive low cost indexing, but it would have been interesting to read his thoughts on the value investing discipline practiced by Warren Buffet.

For the quantitatively inclined, this book gives a thorough and rational discussion of the long-term performance of financial markets. The conclusions are supported by many insightful plots, not by the "rules of thumb" one finds in lesser contributions to this literature.

The book does a good job of straddling the line between general discussion and specific, actionable advice. Every person with money to invest over the long term i. Mar 29, Nathan Erickson rated it it was amazing. Begins with an excellent review of how historical events and movement of the market. Explains why the higher risk of equities is more than offset by the higher returns in the long run and is really less risk than bonds or Treasuries. Moves into factors involved in valuing stocks and what has historically been good properties to look for.

Explains Wall Street's reasoning for those factors and why they are wrong.

Where they put a unreasonable premium and what to avoid. A very good book for anyone who is investing or considering investing, including through a retirement plan at work. That makes it a must read for just about everyone, and it helps put recent market and economic events in perspective. This covered a lot of stuff; I'm still in the early-beginner phase but I feel like it was very educational. Dec 07, Will rated it really liked it.

I found it quite an enjoyable read. Mar 05, Phang Beary rated it it was ok. Value investing is not about holding stocks to eternity as Jeremy Siegel suggested.

Nonetheless, the book is quite informative for novice investors. May 07, David rated it liked it. Overall a very helpful book in making the case for the ownership of equities over the long term particularly 30 year holding periods.

I found Jeremy Siegel's style easy to read and understand.

In this book, he shares his knowledge, experience, and judgment to enable us to become better investors.

The final philosophical chapters provide insights that may help some of us become better people. In this trenchant book, best-selling economist Robert Shiller reveals the origins of this crisis and puts forward bold measures to solve it. He calls for an aggressive response--a restructuring of the institutional foundations of the financial system that will not only allow people once again to buy and sell homes with confidence, but will create the conditions for greater prosperity in America and throughout the deeply interconnected world economy.

He shows how these bubbles led to the dangerous overextension of credit now resulting in foreclosures, bankruptcies, and write-offs, as well as a global credit crunch. To restore confidence in the markets, Shiller argues, bailouts are needed in the short run. But he insists that these bailouts must be targeted at low-income victims of subprime deals. In the longer term, the subprime solution will require leaders to revamp the financial framework by deploying an ambitious package of initiatives to inhibit the formation of bubbles and limit risks, including better financial information; simplified legal contracts and regulations; expanded markets for managing risks; home equity insurance policies; income-linked home loans; and new measures to protect consumers against hidden inflationary effects.
