Summary: Best book in the series....
Review: But, could someone tell me why there are babies in diapers in this book. Just kidding, there are also pictures of jelly beans, a nude woman sneaking a peak around a sign (you can't see anything trust me and the sign says: Trading with Discretion..we get the point), a stork carrying a baby, a chess game, a kid on a phone...this book is way more fun than any of the others. A lot of the other books just have pictures of people in business suits, but this one gets right down to life. Did you know that "broker" was the term first used around 1622 to mean an agent in financial transactions? Originally it referred to wine retailers - those who "broach" or "break" wine casks. So what does this cover?
Understanding Stocks Understanding the Market
Working with a Broker
Buying and Selling
Protecting Yourself "Investing in stocks can be very lucrative and it can be very frustrating. Knowing as much about what you are investing in, will help make it a more satisfying and perhaps successful endeavor." pg. 5 As someone relatively new to investing, I enjoyed the books fun approach and how all the details were explained with ease. You will find you understand the financial news so much better!

Summary: Just the basics
Review: I found this book to be a very basic, but also helpful book about investing. After reading it, I am confident enough to make a few investments and I can understand what I'm doing. Without going in to too much detail, this book gives a large amount of important information to a beginning investor. This book eliminates the mystery of the stock market.
