All about stocks is really all about stocks

This book offers a complete overview off really everything about stocks. All types of analysis and examples are given on a objective base. So the reader gets a lot of information about the subject, while he is not put in a corner to follow a certain strategy when it comes to buying and selling stocks. The book is sometimes a little academic but it's still readible for people like me without an economic background. This book thought me really a lot of new stuff and finally gave me accurate information around all kinds of analysis regarding to the stock market. It's far better than the 'trustfull information about a certain stock' you've got from a good friend.

Great book for anyone interested in learning about stocks!

This is a great book with lots of helpful information about stocks and which stocks to invest in. I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants to invest in stocks.
