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

Rating: - terrible at explaining financial lingo!
The worst part of "Stock Investing for Dummies" is that it refers to previous sections far too often (note: you can refer to the first part of this sentence for something incredibly annoying). 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 terms and ratios, such as EPS, ROA, and P/E. I was really hoping this guide would dumb-down the incredible amount of jargon, but I actually feel more confused having read this material.

This book did have one huge benefit to me: it convinced me to do a Balance Sheet and an Income Sheet for my own personal finances (after explaining what they actually were). It is so eye opening to have your expenses laid out that clear, and shows how a company is really responsible for doing the same thing, just on a larger scale.

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 MACD begins its turn at the top.

Rating: - Not Just for Dummies
I've read about a dozen books on stock investing in the last 6 months or so and this is probably my favorite. It's detailed, interesting, and very easy to read. It's perfect for dummies, or those new to the stock market, but also so loaded with great info that even the "experts" would probably pick up a few things here and there. Since I just finished reading it, cover to cover, for the second time, I thought I ought to give the author a well-deserved good review.
