Easy to Read Practical Guide

Watching CNBC can be entertaining and educational but sometimes you need more information than the anchors provide about a certain story. This book gives you the background--the basics about how the stock market works and what you need to know to make smart investing decisions. There's lots of useful stuff here and you can peruse the chapters that you're interested in.

Thank Goodness for CNBC!

I am a CNBC junkie -- I just can't get enough, particularly when it comes to understanding what's going on in today's crazy markets. This book not only has same straighforward approach you find on CNBC, it also provides you with an invaluable analysis of how markets work and a list of resources where you can get up to the minute information on world markets. Any book that will help me make sense of what the current stock market is doing will help me feel confident in the choices I make as an individual investor and is worth the price. I highly recommend this book. Thanks.
