Difficult as it is to follow the market these days, this book supplies enough detail to help make decent decisions. It tends to repeat general investment definitions from other Dummies books i.e. if you buy other Dummies investment volumes be prepared for alot of redundancy up front(not a bad thing, just something to be aware of). Whether you know nothing or think you know plenty about stocks, this book will fill in some blanks and provide a good reference. Don't be a dummy and ignore their basic advice!
