I first read this in 8th or 9th grade for my Civics class and now, even 12 years later, I still go back and thumb through it from time-to-time. It was a great introduction and it's been borrowed by friends, their parents, my dad, etc. Can't see how starting with the fundamentals could ever be a bad thing?
A superb introduction to stock markets, with history.

A surperb intorduction to the stock market, mutual funds & bonds including a very concise history of the U.S. Stock markets. Geared to the totally new investor, it even covers some advanced subjects like options and money management in very understandable ways. My favorite book to recommend when someone asks "how do I get started?"
