4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read Practical Guide
Watching CNBC can be entertaining and educational but sometimes you need more information than the anchors provide about a certain story. This book gives you the background--the basics about how the stock market works and what you need to know to make smart investing decisions. There's lots of useful stuff here and you can peruse the chapters that you're interested in.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book has 300 pages of absolutely nothing.
I have read more finance books then I can even remember. While none give you everything you want; most at least give you some good basics or even decent beginner strategies. This book is the rare exception to provide neither. I would go into more detail but just like the book I am frankly just unable to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank Goodness for CNBC!, July 13, 2001

This review is from: CNBC Creating Wealth: An Investor's Guide to Decoding the Market (Hardcover)
I am a CNBC junkie -- I just can't get enough, particularly when it comes to understanding what's going on in today's crazy markets. This book not only has same straighforward approach you find on CNBC, it also provides you with an invaluable analysis of how markets work and a list of resources where you can get up to the minute information on world markets. Any book that will help me make sense of what the current stock market is doing will help me feel confident in the choices I make as an individual investor and is worth the price. I highly recommend this book. Thanks.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book has 300 pages of absolutely nothing., December 4, 2009
I have read more finance books then I can even remember. While none give you everything you want; most at least give you some good basics or even decent beginner strategies. This book is the rare exception to provide neither. I would go into more detail but just like the book I am frankly just unable to. There just really isnt anything to this book but the most basic of definitions and ideas (buy low sell high). This book provides no real strategies. I mean what kind of investing book outside of this one would take a whole chapter to talk about the components of a computer? (monitor, mouse, RAM)?
