About this ebook

Everything a novice investor needs to know about getting started in stocks

While dozens of books purport to be for the beginning investor, most "beginner" books assume a level of knowledge that true novices just don't have. Understanding Stocks is targeted to the beginning investor, providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of the stock market without subjecting readers to terms and ideas they can't understand and frankly, will probably never use.

Written in an engaging and direct style, Understanding Stocks uses short, easy-toread chapters to provide a solid working knowledge of the stock market.

Topics include:

What is a stock?
How to place a trade
Evaluating a stock
Knowing when to sell

It's 4 stars because I like it. It is informative, and not like a life-story like Jim cramer's Mad Money book. Mad Money isn't bad, but it doesn't contain the technical information I need. Understanding Stock will have sections that will inform you about Technical, Fundamental, and even Sentiment Analysis. The book is quite short, it is not comprehensive. It's great for those on the go. Another book I would recommend is Investing Bible, by Lynn O'Shaughnessy.

The words are too tightly and is impossible to read on my smartphone, and not even good on my Nexus 7. What is going on? Please add font sizes for this book please and stars will be added.

Definitely a four star. A really easy-to-read introductory book on stocks. Although it is a book for newbies, it covers a lot of grounds. From fundamental analysis to technical analysis, giving you a glimpse on every aspect of stock trading and investing.
