I tried to get through this, but after one or two chapters it seemed really dry, and somewhat outdated for current markets. I've read dry material on financial markets before, but jeez. Did you actually learn much from it? If anyone wants to post a tl;dr summary, it would be appreciated.

It's written in simple language (and modern editions come with commentary updating it ) if you cant read that book then maybe you should not invest in shares at all.

Like the other guy said, if you need a TLDR for learning stocks, maybe it's something you shouldn't be getting into.

It's a dry book yet still one of the most recommended out there. There's a reason for that. You aren't going to learn the market in a day.
