This is one of the smartest books of the decade, March 23, 2009

By: Dr. Juergen Huber, University of Innsbruck (Austria)

"This is one of the smartest books of the decade! It is thoughtful, entertaining and enlightening. Written by an investment industry "insider", the author reveals industry weaknesses and hidden secrets,-notably how they pile on fee after fee, effectively lowering investor's returns by up to 80%. I can warmly recommend this book to any person interested in improving the return on his or her investment portfolio performance. Kneisley's thoughts are in line with academic research. I am not aware of any finance professor entrusting their money to "actively" managed funds rather than the recommended "passive" investments."


Kneisley Knocks it Over the Fence!, June 27, 2009

By: Barry R. Brandt (Columbus, OH USA)

"Author Bob Kneisley has done it again. His book "The Wall Street Casino" is right on the mark. It is a topic that Kneisley knows well and he has knocked it way over the fence to be a game winning home run.
This book is a combination of a fascinating story and a treasure trove of multiple lessons on the does and don'ts of investing. Entertaining? Absolutely! This is a perfect book for an enjoyable summer read. I suggest "The Wall Street Casino" as an ideal gift for young adults and family members. Who knows...they just might learn something while enjoying an entertaining book."


A must for anyone who is getting in on the investing game, March 8, 2009

By: Midwest Book Review

"The stock market has been described as legalized gambling, where the insane odds for failure don't scare people off. "The Wall Street Casino: Efficient, Passive Investment Advantages for Today's Investors" is a stock market book that understands the risks, but encourages people to invest anyway, but to invest wisely. Wisdom comes from education, and Kneisley doesn't skimp on the education, making "The Wall Street Casino" a must for anyone who is getting in on the investing game."


WALL STREET CASINO, March 19, 2009

By: Dale L. Myers (Florida)

"The author was uncanny with his use of a plot and characters to maintain keen interest while reading what is not usually a "meaty" subject. While so doing, Mr. Kneisley acquaints the reader with a behind-the-scenes view of broker-client relationships and what happens when the investor's objectives are set aside for the broker's personal gain. True, some readers might find this a shallow way to present investment strategies, but I cannot find a better way to hold one's attention to this type of subject matter. This book should be a must read by any investor, regardless of market experience. Congratulations, Mr. Kneisley."


A well written book that comes at the right time!, April 9, 2009

By: Brennan J. Deitsch (Ohio)

"The Wall Street Casino" is a fun book to read. The author; Bob Kneisley educates the reader about common investment practices. Instead of writing a "dictionary" of investment terms (although he does have a dictionary in the back for novice readers), he intelligently explains his ideas in words that anyone could understand. While educating, the book displays the ongoing affection that Jane Cromwell has for an well-trained investor advisor named Bryce. In addition, we are introduced to a man named Adam Smith who explains global commerce and how it all correlates with our current economy. This idea keeps the reader interested throughout the entire book. This is a must read for anyone that wants to think independently and get their true potential out of their investments!"


listen up ladies, March 23, 2009

By: Dixie (Maumee, Ohio USA)

"Even experienced investors can find gems of wisdom in the "Adam Smith meets Barbara Cartlend" book. The author has the technical background and experience to write cogently on the topic of stock market investing for individuals in today's world. Clearly not intended for everyone, an audience of inexperienced women would find this a very worthwhile read and might even just stick to it to find out how the romance ends."


An Educational Book with an Entertaining Edge, March 13, 2009

By: J. Ricica (Defiance, OH USA)

"The "Wall Street Casino" book captured and maintained my interest during the entire time I spent reading it. This book presents pertinent facts on the complex topic of investing while entertaining the reader with a clever plot. "The Wall Street Casino" could not have been brought to my attention at a better time, considering the current state of the economy. There are many valuable lessons to be learned from this book, including the advantages of investing passively and carefully to maximize gain (or minimize loss in today's economy). I only wish that I knew of passive investing many years ago. This book is, without a doubt, head and shoulders above others of its kind."
