There is no explanation of how there is a conflict of interest.

No,I am not Siegel.

I tagged this article for COI because

1. you are the only editor who has worked on the article
2. it leads with such advertising phrases as "widely cited", "sealed the conventional wisdom" and "one of the 10 best investment books of all time"
3. jeremyseigel.com is used as a reference 3 times

I did not assume you are Siegel, but the article is not written from a neutral point of view. This might be due to the sources you've used. See if you can modify the language in the lead section -- maybe start with something like Stocks for the Long Run : The Definitive Guide to Financial Market Returns and Long-Term Investment Strategies is a 1994 book by Jeremy Siegel about investing in the stock market. The fourth edition was released in November 2007. It was No.X on the NYT best-seller list in XXXX.

Happy editing! --Foggy Morning (talk) 15:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments.

The book is indeed widely cited. I will try to find a way to that it looks more neutral.

jeremyseigel.com has several of Seigel's articles avaialble that provide more detailed or more up-to-date discussion.

A technical book like this cannot ever be expected to be on NYT best-seller list. There is no other way of mentioning the significance of the book except who it has impacted the field.

I will keep your comments in mind. I am planning to add some more criticism as well.--Chakreshsinghai (talk) 00:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

This isn't a technical book, it's a mass-market book. Please keep that in mind in your edits. Happy editing :) --Foggy Morning (talk) 00:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Chakreshsinghai, take a break in editing, okay? --Foggy Morning (talk) 01:13, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
