5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good introduction to the markets and how they work., March 5, 1999
This review is from: Investor's Business Daily Guide to the Markets (Paperback)
This book provides the reader with a thorough discussion of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures, and options. It does a very nice job of explaining how they are traded on the market, and it uses very clear illustrations to describe some of the most common terms associated with the markets. This book is very informative. It is helpful to anyone that does not know how to look up stocks in the newspaper. Everything the reader needs to know about getting started in the stock market is explained. Both beginners and advanced investors will benefit from the book, especially the beginners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginning CAN SLIM investors, March 6, 2004
By 
This review is from: Investor's Business Daily Guide to the Markets (Paperback)
This book is actually half decent it isn't near as good as How to make money in stocks but it covers a lot of relevant information for newer investors.

The chapters cover these wonderful topics:

* Capitalism: What it is and why it works
* The stock market: Primer on what stocks are and how the market works
* Mutual funds
* Options
* Bonds
* Futures market
* Economics and economic indicators

The book reminds me of Investing Smart however Guide to the Markets is at least 10 times better and covers more topics, not to mention the writers are much better than Dhun H. Sethna.

I recommend this for beginning CAN SLIM investors.

Reed Floren
