Customer Reviews

Good book for beginners

This is a basic book on personal finance and investments. Investment products covered include stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Before teaching about investing, the author makes readers aware that first they need to get control over their personal finances before opening an account with a brokerage firm. He discusses topics such as debt, budgeting, and saving. When deciding to hire brokers or other professionals, readers can learn how to check these people out by looking at their credentials, experience, recommendations, and background check. This book should only be used as an introduction to investing. No one will become a great stock or bond investor by reading this book. For beginners, it is a good start. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market
