The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money on Wall Street, Third Edition (3rd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: required reading for anyone who wants to invest money
Review: First of all i recomend that you read the Complete idiot's guide to investing like a pro before progessing to this book. You could get by without it since some material is very similar. The only part of this book that is diffucult to understand is the section on options and futures, but this is the best attempt to explain that very difficult investment play. I am writing this on 7/23/2002 when the market is doing horrible, but since reading the book, even though like most investors i am losing some money i am beating the market averages.

Summary: I am an idiot no longer!
Review: This book was fantastic! It was simple reading on a very confusing subject. This book combined very informative straight talk with just the right amount of humor. It held my attention. I can now watch financial review shows on TV and know what they are talking about.

This book also has, " Did you know this", gray boxes. For example:" Bet you didn't know. More certificates of deposit mature in April and October any other time of year."
