Customer Reviews
Good overview
The book gives you a general idea about stock investment and different approaches of trading. Very good for the beginner investor.
Too basic
So basic it is a waste of money
For the Neophyte Investor
Good advice for any person interested in investing in the stock market. My path has followed that of the author's with a few differences. I use both an old brokerage firm with a team of advisors and an online discount company to "do it myself". The only point I disagree on is the mutual funds I invest in provide me with a semi-annual report of the individual investments listed by value and percent of the fund's total investments. Otherwise, this book is an inexpensive way to learn about the market and guide your first step. (cal45son)
