Buy The 100 Best Stocks You Can Buy, 2009: Over 250,000 Copies Sold – Completely Updated at Amazon
I think this book was most disappointing. There is very little focus on fundamentals, and most text seems to be cut and pasted from newspapers during last year without much thought. Also, it is not updated at all about the major events of the financial crisis towards the end of 2008, yet it claims to be updated for 2009.

John Slatter has done it again. He has been producing awesome reference books for a number of years now. I personally have the the 2007-2008-2009 editions. His books give an excellent overview of companies and reasons to buy. I continually use them for references, each edition is important because you can see the companies he recommends year after year (hint, hint). Some of the companies he recommends are Buffett stocks as well. There are so many companies within our exchanges that it can be overwhelming when choosing, so Slatter does an excellent job of narrowing the field down. Just with any book you must also conduct your own research and do what fits your investment criteria. These books are definitely worth the money!
