5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, August 4, 2006
As a novice investor, I wanted a book that covered all of the basics in detail. This book was exactly that! I wasn't looking for a book that was loaded with ratios and technical data; This book covered everything from determing your risk factor by analyzing your current financial situation, approach, analyzing markets and companies. The basic fundamentals were discussed in detail and also included the important technical aspects of investing with very basic and straight forward examples that were very easy to understand.

I would and have recommended this book to anyone who is looking to invest in the stock market. I liked the book so much I'm going to read it over again.

I would also recommend that seasoned investors read this book just to reinforce the basics of investing that they might have forgotten over the years. Review of the basics is very important in any industry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, May 10, 2003
Solid, solid, solid. This book is very resourceful. I have never picked up one of these "Dummies" books before but got this one as a gift. It covers enough about investing in stocks and the securities industry in general so as to ease the befuddled neophyte. For the rudiments, start here. Then afterwards, you can move on to that other junk promising you the secrets of Wall Street.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Stocks and Investing, July 5, 2005
This book is great. It is simple and easy to understand and it brings stock investing down to my level. I have never understood anything about the stock market or investing because of the terms and varying degree of options. Now I am finding that I can some what understand what stock options and investments will be best suited for me and my financial goals.
