 the one book you need January 2, 2009

yes - this is one book that will be read more than all the others.
even good books look pretty shoddy compared to this. i paid full price for it and dont regret it. one of the few books on investing i have read right through and refer to. 5*

The book is to vague and talks about too many financial products and does not talk into too much depth about a particular financial product. its good if youre new to the whole idea of investing otherwise if you know what youre looking for and know what products you wish to invest in then try something else. It doesnt tell you how to trade but is good on the fundamentals.

I found this book to be excellent in its introduction of how the stock market works, with introductory analysis on everything from gilts to bonds, from warrants to futures. The text is interspersed with examples from the financial Times of the relevant tables, with notes to show what each symbol or number means. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the stock market.

Before reading this book I knew nothing about the stock market and the different types of securities, etc. Since reading it working life has become much easier, since I have but had to deal with texts on them in my line of work. Various aspects of the investment world (insurance, pensions, different types of securities, the workings of the stock market and more) are explained in clear and concise language -with the exception of the pooled funds chapter which becomes slightly bewildering, although that's more down to all the varieties there are- and sound advice offered plus guidance on how to read the financial pages. If finance is a new subject for you then it's brilliant and if you're an old hand in the financial world it will still serve as useful reference nevertheless.

What a fantastic book. I came to this book whilst studying business finance as part of an MBA. My class work didn't really touch on the markets, and while I have a good grasp of economics, the mysteries of the markets have always escaped me. This book is fantastic. Exceptionally well written and clear it explains key concepts really well. Great detail from the basics (company structure, different types of investment), through calculating ratios and analysing company accounts & industries, to (what seem to me) the more esoteric areas of derivatives and warrants. If you are looking to start investing, or just understand how the markets work, this is the ideal introduction.
