1 Sun Tzu on Investment
Congratulation. A new standard has been set. Curtis J Montgomery has written a clear, concise and profound investment book based on the timeless wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art Of War. It is indeed exhilarating to read how the taoist understanding of human psychology (and by implication, the behaviour of capital markets)
as epitomised by Sun Tzu's the Art of War can contribute to superior investment (bottom fishing).
2 Invest in This Book!
Curtis Montgomery's Sun Tzu on Investing has helped me, a novice at investing, to see the simplicity and strategy involved in making wise investment choices. His use of Sun Tzu's war concepts, such as thinking independently, creativity, and patient planning make investing seem easy. I hope to apply these concepts to any of my future investments, and highly recommend this book to anyone interested in broadening their knowledge of the basic principles of investing.
3 Timeless Gems of Wisdom
It's amazing how the reasoning and the tactics of an ancient Chinese warrior apply to the modern day stock investor. The battlefields are different but the strategies sre the same. The author makes these comparisons in an easy-to-read style. No wonder he's known throughout Asia as the "Singapore Sage". It is a fine piece of work.
4 A long awaited invesment title
This book has showed how ancient war strategies can be put into practise in todays investment war field. There are illustration on some existing companies showing how Sun Tzu's strategies is being applied. A value add to investment knowledge.

6 great introduction to value investing
In recent years I have been learning a lot about value investing as opposed to stock speculating. One of the books I've found most helpful in this process is this book from Curtis Montgomery. His application of the time tested ideas of Sun Tzu to the sometimes crazy world of investing is at times quite sublime. Filled with many examples from the real world of investing, this book is a great introduction to value investing.
7 Illustrative and Entertaining book on Investments.
I have made investments before i was recommended to his book. I am a poor reader of books but i completed this book within 2 weeks. I have since make little notes on interesting articles. If one spend quality time in reading, you will learn more about investments and assessing businesses.
8 Useful book
This is a nice and interesting book. It combine Chinese wisdom with investment strategy. It is very helpful when you make investement decision.
9 Strategies in the book is live
The information in the book is more than just strategies; it is applied live in Sage??s IntelliVest portfolio that is more than S$2m. It is hard to find who put the money where his mouth is.
10 He invest in what he preaches
Hi,
I have been visiting the author investment website at www.wallstraits.com for more than a year.He had demostrated successfully his investment methodology. I have also read the book. From my point of view, the book is a very good read if you know the works of the author.
So far I have seen tons and tons of technocal analysis books but i have yet to see first hand the successful exploitation of their authors.
11 Generous Sharing of Investment Knowledge
I have been making poor investments in the past few years. 'Sun Tzu on Investing' helped me to revised my investment strategies. As a result, I sold off poor businesses and took in great businesses.
The ideas in the book are great, especially the one about warriors appearing invincible because they utilise opportunities when opponents expose their vulnerabilities i.e. depressed stock price. This allows one to create a portfolio that is invincible.
I bought and recommended this book to dozens of my friends. You should read this book too.
12 Fusion of Asian Flavors and Fundamentals
I found that learning about Sun Tzu's meticulous martial mind was a great way to explore and rediscover some basic truths about what moves markets. Sun Tzu's lessons apply to bourses just as much as battlefields. The book points to the importance of a well-thought-out but flexible investment strategy, the danger of herd thinking and the importance of logical methods to predict potential gains and losses. The book also taps into the wisdom and experience of more traditional market gurus, such as Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet and uses examples from Asia and around the world to illustrate its points. While many of the lessons have been told before, it is refreshing to see a book like this come out of Asia, using ancient Asian teachings and Asian examples.
13 Good Job for making sense of strategies in investing
When I first came across the title of the book. I was rather skeptical, is it possible to apply some of the strategies in battle to investing or is it just another book to "ride on" the fame of Sun Tzu.
Well, I ended up buying the book and learnt quite alot about investing from reading the book. Curtis writes in a easy-to- read, easy-to-understand style and make investing fun. He also put in actual examples of how he actually used some of these strategies in analysing stocks for investing and his investing track record is shown in his website... So you can actually verify that what he shared can be applied and not just theoretical stuff and he does put his money where his mouth is.
For any person interested to learn about investing, other than Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham and One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch, this is another book you can consider reading up too!...Cheers!

14 Get Your Fundamental Rights
Hi,
I find this book to be relevant for those building up their investment knowledge with a Sun-Tzu twist in it.
For your information, the author and his team has amassed positive return on investment made in Singapore based on the guided strategies. So he is practicising what he preach!
This book is as much relevant for global investment as in local (Singapore/Asia) context.

15 Far too fundamentalist, with not enough Sun Tzu
I chose this book out of sheer desperation when I was looking for a good investment book on Holidays.
This book is so far slanted toward a fundamentalist approach that I believe the author thinks Graham and Buffett are gods. It reads very poorly and the author could have imparted his message in less than a few pages.
The author also denigrades all technical analysis with a few choice statistics that do not hold water very well.
In my view this is a big let down, and I wish I could get my time and money back.
