Rating: - Judge by the results...
This book is fantastic. It covers all the basic fundamentals, provides resources to learn more about every area, and covers every broad aspect of evaluating a company. You learn about company fundamentals, accounting formulas, economic indicators, political signs, trends, and much more. Probably the best beginning book on stock trading I've read, and I have read many.

Not only that, but the author's results speak for themselves. The 1st edition was written in 2005, and he made ... Read More

Rating: - Exactly what the title implies.
Like it says, it's stock investing for dummies. Not only will you get explanations for key terms that you will encounter, you also will be taught how to look at numbers on a balance sheet, and decode what story the balance sheet is telling you. The way this book is written is very novice-friendly, you won't have to worry about being lost or not being able to understand some words. I can see how the more "advanced" investors might flip through the pages going "I already know that...." But like the ... Read More

Rating: - stock investing for dummies
This book is just what I needed. I started to be interested about the stock market but was totally clueless what it's all about. While I dont like the title,the truth of the matter is I'm a real dummy on this topic. The book really helped a lot. It explained things in a very simple manner. It really gave me the basics of what I need to know. The only thing that I want to add... Can we please pick a better title? LOL

It's obvious the writer didn't intend for the book to be read cover-to-cover, but when you're 5 pages into a chapter and it refers you to earlier in the same chapter, it's serious overkill.

Browsing through popular stock sites such as Google/Yahoo Finance, you wind up with an alphabet soup of financial ... Read More

Rating: - Trading Trends
When trading trends you must know that there is an inevitable end to the trend or a time when the trend simply dies. You should be prepared to make a decision.

We find using a leading indicator for the exit from a trend is difficult at best. Even though you will no doubt give up some of the profits at the end of the trade, using a lagging indicator like the MACD can keep you in a trade without getting wiggled out too early. Personally, if you want to
exit early, you can just exit when the ... Read More
