5.0 out of 5 stars great beginner book, January 8, 2000

"brintin" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Getting Started in Stocks (Paperback)

I had no idea that there where more than one stock exchanges before reading the book. Now I know how to hedge investments using options. the book covers every aspect of the stock market that the novice should know about. I read the book in 2 days because it was written in a format that I could comprehend. I can now amaze my friend with my knowledge of stocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even kids like me can understand it!, March 17, 1999

thinkreal@mailcity.com (Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Getting Started in Stocks (Paperback)

I HIGHLY reccomend this book to kids that are interested in stock trading. I have tried to read all kinds of stock books, and this one is the only one that I could understand past the first 30 pages! This book isn't a dumb kiddy book either. It goes into GREAT detail about options, margin trading, and investment strategies. The moment I turn 18 I am on my way to the market! (and you should too)

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for the beginner investor., March 30, 2001

Aquaria.Info "Aquaria.Info - Aquarium Fish On... (Aquaria.Info) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Getting Started in Stocks (Paperback)

This well written book gives the beginner investor the information needed to understand investing in stocks.

The book goes through setting your goals, assesing your risks and rewards. It teaches you about common and preferred stocks and the basics of buying and selling stocks.

There is a chapter on different investment strategies and then the book takes you into fundamental and technical analysis of a stock.

Finally the book touches on mutual funds, rights, warrants, and options.

All in all this is an excellent book and is one that any beginner investor will learn a lot from.
