The Motley Fool Investment Guide: How the Fool Beats Wall Street's Wise Men and How You Can Too

David Gardner, Neil David, Sr., Tom Gardner. Fireside Books, $15 (320pp) ISBN 978-0-7432-0173-5

This update of the Motley Fool's first book offers the same smart-aleck advice found on the Gardners' popular Web site and in their other books: ""Dear Fool, you must ask yourself: Are this company's products likely to fulfill needs in the future even better than they did in the past?... Does management have the vision?... These are extremely difficult questions to answer. But to the best of your ability, you'll want to answer 'em."" Their useful tips on researching stocks, avoiding scams and tuning out the Internet din will best be appreciated by those new to the series. (Jan.)
