With four bestselling books, a wildly popular web site, and a portfolio that consistently and significantly outperforms the Standard & Poor averages by more than 30 percent, the Motley Fools have attracted a dedicated following. And now those Foolish financial whizzes -- with their impudent but right-on money advice -- take their investment guidance to the next level.In The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers, the Gardners show investors how to define and identify the two best investment possibilities in the market -- the small companies that have historically offered the greatest investment returns (the "rule breakers") and the companies that are legal monopolies (the "rule makers"). Most investment books are designed around getting investors into and out of stocks at the best time, while most business books tell how best to manage people, ideas, and profits. The Motley Fool) Rule Breakers, Rule Makers focuses on linking these two ideas, relating the strength of a business over time with the performance of its stock. The newest entry from the creators of today's hottest on-line investment site is proof anew that, as the Detroit News has said, "The Motley Fool is special".

Review:

For the past few years, the U.S. stock market has been on a bull run the likes of which few have ever seen, making and breaking records almost every quarter. And since 1998, David and Tom Gardner's self-described market-crushing stock portfolios have made the market's own incredible performance pale by comparison. The brothers, co-authors of the Motley Fool UK Investment Guide, reveal the methodology behind their stock-picking success in The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers. The Rule Breaker Portfolio (formerly known as the Fool Portfolio on their Web site) has risen some 650 percent since its inception in 1994, thanks to stocks such as America Online, McAfee, and Wal-Mart, while the Rule Maker Portfolio (formerly known as the Cash King Portfolio) has risen 440 percent on the backs of investments in Microsoft, Cisco Systems, and Intel. Fans of the Motley Fool, who with luck have prospered from the Gardners' timely advice, will no doubt love Rule Breakers, Rule Makers. The book is written in their usual humorous and self-congratulatory style--not only educational, but often aimed at making the pros on Wall Street wince, as they should. However, if you're new to the Motley Fool or to stock picking in general, you may do well by first considering one of their earlier books, You Have More Than You Think and The Motley Fool Investment Guide. --Harry C. Edwards, Amazon.com

"Stands out as an ethical oasis in an area that is fast becoming a home to charlatans".-- THE ECONOMIST
