Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐I’ll recommend this product to anyone, My advise to those buying expensive gear is “Stop showing off” an grow up. No one cares what you use and how much you spent on it…the bottom line is quality!
⭐actually has some pretty good info here. especially if you know little
⭐good
⭐It keeps things simple!
⭐The book is fine, if you really know nothing about investing. Fortunately, or unfortunately for me I knew a little something something, so it was only marginally helpful. But whatever.Actually, if you’re new to investing, I can’t see someone being without this book. It’s potentially very helpful and could save you a couple of bucks. Although, in this market, it’s a little bit too late.
⭐I thought that this was the most current version of the book but it is not, so I’m kind of disappointed. Other than that, it arrived quickly and in great condition. For that, I’m thankful.
⭐Definitely the way to go for people who just opened their first online brokerage account and are asking “now what?” This book gives links to some of the best online information sites, the basics of choosing good stocks, and good introductory advice.
⭐You can’t watch television these days without getting bombarded with ads for on line brokerage companies. What’s been missing has been a centralized source for information about the whole thing. This book provides that source. It’s not complete – if it were it would be so big that you couldn’t carry it around – but it’s a great start.You can read this book from cover to cover in just a few hours. That is, just a few hours if you don’t take the time to go out on the web looking at the things she suggests. And that right there is the key to this book. Here is a good start that covers the whole field from A to Z, and at nearly each and every point along the way she points you to web sites for more information about specific points.The problem with going to the web for more information, of course, is that web sites appear, go away, merge or whatever. She admits this, but accepts this risk and gives you multiple sites (you couldn’t possibly visit all that she mentions) or suggests ways to find a missing or dead site.This is a great way to get the basic information you need before getting started with selecting a broker and deciding what to buy.
