Touching reader review of Invest Local on Amazon

I was really touched when I read this review of Invest Local that appeared from a reader on Amazon.
My intent in writing the book was to create a no-nonsense, easy to understand book
that would shed light on things that many people just don't understand.

I think I've achieved my goal with this reader.

Great tips about investing

By Andrea Smith on September 25, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I thought I would be confused about how investment works but this book showed me how.

There was a lot of useful information. I liked that he said to invest outside the banking system.

I didn't know you could do such a thing. I always thought that they rip you off .

Maybe that is too harsh a term, but I find it funny that you can only withdraw a certain

amount of your money from an ATM daily. I mean what if it is an emergency?

As for the stock market, I know a bit more now about how it is run thanks to this book.

I see how the Wolf of Wall Street made his millions. I have so much more to learn.

Invest Local covered a lot of topics that I didn't realize i would come across.

I always receive car loan applications in the mail . I am glad I ignore them anyway.

I know I am probably going to do the certified pre owned lease when i car shop.

I am not yet an investor but in the future when I do, I will be smart about it.

This is a simple, straight forward guide.

I read Invest Local and I learned a lot. It was a re-education about savvy investing. I didn't realize it but I have always sort of been under the influence of the financial system. I really didn't think about other ways I could invest my money outside of RRSP's, mutual funds, TFSA etc... And your book really opened my mind to think about better ways to invest that would actually give me more control over where and how my money is invested. Some of the suggestions in the book seemed very traditional even old fashioned ideas about investing. I love it! In my view investing in a local business is great! We all know how getting money from the banks can be an uphill battle and in a lot of cases simply because of the prohibitive policies and regulations they have in place.

Business and Asset Values: How Owners, Buyers, Sellers, Lenders, and Advisors Should Think About Sma

What makes a business valuable? Why can a profitable company still be difficult to sell? Why can old machinery be worth more than its accounting value? Why does one business have substantial goodwill while another depends almost entirely on its physical assets? Business and Asset Values explains how value actually works inside privately held businesses. Written for business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, buyers, sellers, lenders, accountants, lawyers, advisors, and appraisers, this practical guide explores the forces that cause value to grow, weaken, transfer, or disappear. Drawing on years of experience in small-business transactions, financing, valuation, and machinery and equipment appraisal, David C. Barnett shows why value is never just a number. It is the result of cash flow, risk, market demand, asset quality, transferability, financing conditions, and the expectations of real buyers and sellers.
