Stock Investing For Dummies: Structures and Strategies for Maximizing Student Learning

Very informative and packed with resources that you can lean on once you’re done with this “text book”. Emphasizes on the Golden rule to stick to the basics to improve your net worth. Wider coverage of techniques to pick winners, brokers, and dissecting a company’s financials. The author’s dislike towards technical analysis is more so obvious that he didn’t need to state it at the chapter beginning. So, some readers looking for these details might lose that benefit. But I’m not into technical chart analysis either as I can’t remember so many patterns and don’t have the time to track it every single minute, so fundamental analysis is more towards my nature. Overall, recommend this book for any amateur stock investors to have strong foundation.

Perfect book to begin your journey into investing, everybody should read it

Greatest book I’ve ever read. Literally gives you a base for everything you need to know before investing. Honestly I shouldn’t have bought stock books before this one, just this one alone would blow all of the others combined out of the water. For $40 you can’t go wrong.

After reading this, i realised a lot of mistakes i'd made in investing, and why i'd lost hundreds when i started investing. After reading this book, i know i'll still make mistakes as there's no predicting the complex world of stocks, but i at least have the ability now to do due diligence.Note that the book "Investing in shares" is the UK equivalent of this book, going into the UK tax laws. It's the same book, but for a UK audience.

Excelente! Chegou rápido e o livro é ótimo. Bom atendimento.

The book was still very useful to get familiar with all the concepts around investing and which factors can influence the stock price. But it could easily have been summarized and even improved in half the amount of pages.The author writes too much text to explain certain principles. What bothers me the most is that after reading one or more paragraphs explaining a certain concept, I'm still left with considerable ambiguities about what the concepts exactly is or how it behaves exactly. I'm not so fond of the bad jokes, and the author seems very biased in his explanations (contradicting other sources on investing and clearly expressing negative feelings towards socialism).
