Highly recommended,

This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Money and Investing, Third Edition (Paperback)
A worthy update to earlier editions, with current market behavior information and international updates. This is an excellent and remarkably clear basic guide to money and the markets. I can't think of a better introductory (and basic reference guide) for investors. Not a how-to, but a what-is and why book.

Great, Easy-To-Understand Reference Guide!,
By Phoenix (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Money and Investing, Third Edition (Paperback)
This is a great, concise understanding of money, types of investments, types of mutual funds, the federal reserve system, etc. I wish the Wall Street Journal put out something like this on micro and macroeconomics. I have to say, they makes things simple, concise, and easy to understand. No academic would write this-- as you would expect from the WSJ, this is excellent and a product of good free enterprise... this is like having the substantive part of ten textbooks in a easy-to-read reference guide...

This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Money and Investing, Third Edition (Paperback)
I use this for teaching undergraduate students Financial Economics. It is a handy reference for them, the charts from the Wall Street Journal are easy to read and are clearly explained. The book is for the lay person who wants to know how to read a bond table or how to understand the stock reports. Value for money this is a great buy!
