Latest positions + Asking for a favor from each of you

I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback from you guys about the new book, Everything You Need to Know About Investing, and I encourage all of you to read through it. Even those of you who read the first draft should read the finished product, because it’s literally three times bigger than the first draft.

And I have a favor to ask all of you  — can you go write up a review of the new book on Amazon? Click here to leave your review. Thanks in advance to all of you who take the time to write up a review of the book.

Here’s a list of my latest positions in approximate order from largest to smallest. I give each stock a current rating from 1 to 10, 1 being “Get out of this position now!” and 10 being “Sell the farm, I’ve found a perfect investment” (there will never be a 10 rating, because there is no such thing as a perfect investment, of course). Anyway, here’s the list:
