bad equation
I have only started this book. It is an easy to read format and has some good basics on investing. If you’re like me, you will try out the formulas they give you to test out your…
In summary, this book is very beneficial. It has the textbook information without the textbook boredom. It simply has an object, side notes and a short summary at the end of each chapter. The chapters aren’t very long and it’s very easy to read. The whole book itself is divided in only 6 parts, and you’ll guaranteed to know stocks A to Z by the end of the book. You’ll also learn about allocations, assets, mutual bonds, cash flow and much more. I can’t emphasize enough how resourceful this book is. I’m not saying it’s the best book on investing since this is only my first investing book I’ve read but I’m sure it’s rare to find a better book than this.
After graduating college, I realized I should have taken classes on investing and money management. Working full time, I couldn’t go back to school. My only option was to begin reading. I came across this book in the book store and decided to give it a try. Well, to say the least, I couldn’t be any more thrilled about this book. I felt I actually took an entire college course on investing. The writing was clear and the equations and charts were well explained and very useful. I now have the knowledge and desire to reshape my financial future. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to change their life for the better.
I recently began investing my own money and ordered this book on the suggestion of a friend. For the first time, I actually understand why stocks behave the way they do and how to choose different mutual funds. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start managing their own money or simply understand more about where your assets are invested.

Not for Idiots…
I found this book to be lacking in many areas. Even though it has the Idiots Guide label on it, I did find it very confusing at times.
