Customer Reviews

Easy to read, cheap and interesting

Why five stars: cause it's a nice book for those that know wall street without really understanding how it works (so great title). Still it is soft but the content is rather strong, not too boring, short and the p[resentation is very good. Built aroud lots of questions-answers, that might interest a very large public.Advice: Buy it cause it is very cheap for the information it provides compared to other booksNote: That is a great introductory book

Investment information I could understand

I found this book to be an excellent source of investment information for a novice investor such as myself. Written in common English, the author doesn't try to impress the reader with big words and far out theory. I recommend this to any person who wants to learn the basics of investing.

A very good introduction to investing

This is one of the best books I have found for expaining investing to a novice like myself. The author has done a good job of discussing difficult topics in an easily understandable manner. I highly recommend this book.

This book provides an easy understanding of Wall Street

"How Wall Street Works" by David Logan Scott is so simply written that even a novice can be assured of acquiring a basic and clear understanding of the world of finance. The question and answer format gives brief and concise explanations without the clutter of the usual confusing and unnecessary jargon. I particularly appreciated the analogies to common-day experiences and the "bottom line" style summaries at the beginning and not the end of the chapters. This book can easily be read and digested in a couple of hours or less. A worthwhile expenditure of your time.
