The book doesnt offer much in terms of useful information. A lot of pages are filler, such as basic investment guidelines and the authors reminder to diversify. But thats exactly whats wrong with the premise of the book there arent 100 best stocks to invest in for 2008. There arent 100 best stocks because there is only one best stock or a few best stocks. When you buy 100 stocks what you are saying is I dont believe in any one of them strongly enough and I dont believe in my research. The point of research is to narrow the field to spot the one or handful of compelling companies that will have superior performance in the marketplace. The only good point the book offers is not to invest in mutual funds due to losing 1.5 percent a year in fees. I say, the value of a good stock is limited to how much more someone else will pay so ultimately it doesnt matter if it is real gold or fools gold as long as you can sell it for more than you paid. What matters is how good your information is, and your timing, in order to focus on one outstanding investment, not 100 with mixed results of 99 that arent outstanding.Here is a partial listing of what the book offered:Abbott LaboratoriesAir ProductsAlcoaApache CorporationBard, C.R.Becton, DickinsonBemis CorporationBlack and DeckerBoeing CompanyBrinker InternationalCampbell SoupCanadian NationalCarnival CorpCash America InternationalCaterpillar, Inc.Chevron CorporationCintasCloroxCoachColgate-PalmoliveConocoPhillipsCostco WholesaleCVS Corporation
