Investing the Templeton Way provides a never-before-seen glimpse into Sir John's timeless principles and methods. Beginning with a review of the methods behind Sir John's proven investment selection process, Investing the Templeton Way provides historical examples of his most successful trades and explains how today's investors can apply Sir John's winning approaches to their own portfolios. Detailing his most well-known principle investing at the point of maximum pessimism- this book outlines the techniques Sir John has used throughout his career to identify such points and capitalize on them. Among the lessons to be learned:
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good Advice, horrible writingTempleton was truly one of the greatest investors of all time. This book does give you insight into his thinking and methodology. So it should be a great book since there are very few books about him. However be warned the writing is just horrendous. I never cared about the writing style of a how to book, but this one is just terrible. Extremely hard to keep you interested, as if a 11 year old wrote this. It repeats the small irrelevant points as if it was the greatest discovery ever. It is just ... Read More Rating:  - Author need to come out with a revised shorter version of this I was very exited to find a Investment book on John Templeton investment strategies. But after reading this book I am very disappointed. This does not mean I disagree with John Templeton strategies. The main problem is with the structure of this book. To me, author seems to be very confused whether he wants to write Templeton biography, his strategies or history of countries which Templeton used to cover. To give you an example, chapter 10 runs into 20 pages detailing China's economic ... Read More Rating: - Too superficialI bought this book hoping to learn more about how to invest in foreign stocks since Templeton was known for that. Unfortunately other than a few simple things like checking to make sure a government's debt is no more than 25% of GDP, there were very few specifics. The author presents a couple of examples where "Uncle John" took advantage of distrust in foreign markets (like investing in South Korea during the Asian financial crises) to make great investments, but doesn't go enough into enough detail ... Read More Rating:  - Don't buy this book; borrow it!If you really want to read this book, borrow it from the library. It's not worth owning; frankly, it's not worth reading either. It certainly does not compare to One Up on Wall Street or any of the offerings of Peter Lynch. The best part of this book is the foreword by John Templeton; however, there is truly nothing worth reading after that. The style is engaging; the content is anemic. Sure, there are lots of anecdotes about the highly successful investing style of Sir John ... Read More Rating:  - A must read for every stock investorThe Templeton Way is possibly the best book on stock investing that I've ever read. Between this and One up on Wall Street, one will receive the insights need to invest in stocks successfully. One thing that sticks out to me is the simplicity of thought and wisdom that comes from the pages. If you are serious about strengthening your skills as an investor, this book is for you.
