Very interesting and informative. Definitely some good tips for beginners. The author does a good job in explaining how everything works, and teaching the reader how to go about trading.

I usually paste in the book blurb but in this case it is huge, so I'm just going to tell you that if you know nothing at all about investing this is a good place to start. The writing style is much more blog post than college economics text book, but Ted Snow covers all the basic terms you see when you look up stocks such as market capitalization, p.e. ratio and free cash flow. He discusses stocks, bonds, options and more and tells you how you can make money on them--and why you might not. The book includes eye-catching graphics.

I doubt there is anything in this book that most experienced educated investors don't know--and really, that's a good thing. He doesn't share any secret formula or tell you that if you only _____ then you are guaranteed to have a gain of X%. However, if you don't know the difference between and ETF and an option, this is the book for you. Grade: B+

The book is very informative and is easy to understand.
Very useful for any beginner with zero knowledge or understanding investments.
This quick guide will get you started, but further research will be necessary to fully understand more specific aspects of investments.

This book provides a useful overview of explaining the stock markets, bonds, shares for lay investors.

Whilst aimed primarily at the American investor, many of the terms still apply in the UK. It covers what a bear and bull market is, penny stocks, futures to name but a few.

I certainly thought it was useful to dip in and out of and the calculations provided to give more information was very helpful too.

I received this book from netgalley in return for a honest review.

Finally I have found an investment book that I can understand and can stay awake to read. For a beginner, this book is ideal because of the simpleof language it was written in. The author has successfully wriiten an overall understanding of investing in stocks. bonds or derivatives. Many examples are included to make things easier to understand. The glossary was very helpful.

If you are a beginner to investmenting then grab this guide. It will help you a lot. It is very easy to understand and grasp, It will make investing much less intimidating.
