The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers: The Foolish Guide to Picking Stocks

With four bestselling books, a wildly popular web site, and a portfolio that consistently and significantly outperforms the Standard & Poor averages by more than 30 percent, the Motley Fools have attracted a dedicated following. And now those Foolish financial whizzes — with their impudent but right-on money advice — take their investment guidance to the next level.In The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers, the Gardners show investors how to define and identify the two best investment possibilities in the market — the small companies that have historically offered the greatest investment returns (the "rule breakers") and the companies that are legal monopolies (the "rule makers"). Most investment books are designed around getting investors into and out of stocks at the best time, while most business books tell how best to manage people, ideas, and profits. The Motley Fool) Rule Breakers, Rule Makers focuses on linking these two ideas, relating the strength of a business over time with the performance of its stock. The newest entry from the creators of today's hottest on-line investment site is proof anew that, as the Detroit News has said, "The Motley Fool is special".
