More About This Book

Overview

Everything a novice investor needs to know about getting started in stocks

While dozens of books purport to be for the beginning investor, most "beginner" books assume a level of knowledge that true novices just don't have. Understanding Stocks is targeted to the beginning investor, providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of the stock market without subjecting readers to terms and ideas they can't understand and frankly, will probably never use.

Written in an engaging and direct style, Understanding Stocks uses short, easy-toread chapters to provide a solid working knowledge of the stock market.

Topics include:

  • What is a stock?
  • How to place a trade
  • Evaluating a stock
  • Knowing when to sell

    Great book to read for understanding stocks!

    I was trying to learn about stocks for the very first time and found this book to be very informative. It's very easy to understand and goes straight into the information you need without any long boring stories. I would definetly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the stock market.

    Simply the best!!!

    I have always heard various comments made about stocks and I decided to really buckle down and find out about it so I can understand the financial news more. Well I searched through various books and this one is exceptional. It is simple, easy to understand and wow I can understand CNBC much better. The only wish I now have about this book is I wish I had read it years ago. Outstanding job by the author. It is a great book to start to learn about the stock market and to proceed with. I am a paralegal in a law firm and I am really impressed. I think I will buy more copies as gifts.
