Customer Reviews

An Excellent Book

This is an easily understandable book on common stocks. Read it if you want the basics of investing in stocks. The author has an equally good book on bonds.

Inexpensive but worthwhile

You can't expect a complete guide to stocks for $9.95 and you don't get it with Scott's book. However, you will get a book that explains investing in a concise and understandable manner. This is a particularly good investment for new college graduates or individuals who are wondering what their broker is talking about.

Good Guide for Beginners

Scott's guide is a good choice for novice invesors. It explains the risks of owning stocks and how stocks are traded in an easy-to-understand manner. On the other hand, it is at too low a level for Wall Street professionals. I bought copies for my two kids in college. They need all the help they can get.
