I personally thought its an extremely helpful book for pure beginners. People who don't have a single clue about the stock market i think this is the book for you. But does it get to the point where you can comfortably buy a stock, from my point of view i don't think so. I think the books just gives you an overall idea on how the stock market works and how the investor should think. Its very brief I enjoyed the book, very great examples to make things much more simple to understand. Overall it an Excellent book for beginner, but not to the point where you could comfortably buy a stock as the title claims.

Always wondered what the stock market was all about and thought you might like to try it out? This will get you started, beginning with “what is a stock?”. Well written and easy to understand. You will be able to buy and sell by the end of the book with some basic ideas about WHERE to go to buy, WHAT to buy, and WHEN to sell. Perfect guide for your first steps.

Very, very basic book on stocks. There is some useless comments and info in the book which takes up some of the measly 65....really 61 pages. The last few pages are promoting one of the authors books. The free book resources he recommends in the book are not free. The TV show he recommends is on a paid station. The book is VERY minimal and you will need additional books to understand terms, graphs, and in depth information. The cost should be no more than $3.

This book is a work of genius!!! I tried to get into stocks years ago and none of the references for beginners I came across made any sense, so I gave up. I decided to give it another try and some references captured the very basics like "what is a stock?" "why is investing important?" but after that sent me for a loop again. I decided not to give up again and that's what led me to this book. John Roberts simplifies EVERYTHING! He puts in a relative perspective so you can understand it better. Like saying an exchange is basically an auction. He relates something unfamiliar to something familiar so you can grasp it better. It helps a lot to be put this way. And I love that he centers the book solely on stocks. Other references start throwing in bonds and funds when you barely understood stocks to begin with, making you twice as confused. I also love that he reiterates some important points because sometimes I'll forget something and wind up going back and try to read it again, but he brings up the points again to make it easier to stick. And being new to the stock market I need that reminder.Upon reading this book, I was finally able to get a stockbroker account and begin investing with confidence. Something I never thought I could do. I can't wait to read his other books!

I am extremely new to investing my hard earned money, after having it sit into my 401k with my employer, I took Mr. Roberts advice and rolled it over into my (new Ameritrade account I just opened). Now with that being said, I had 30 days to deposit $3,000 into my account in order to buy and sell trades. There was quite a bit of information on the login page and I got really intimidated and scared, AT FIRST, then I took two deep breathes and said to my subconscious, "keep going you got this". Of course I did. Now, to the newsletters he mentions about Oxford, OMG, I was on the site and they running a special to get alot of $99 dollars for the highest subscription which was regularly $249 and you get I believe it was like 4 or 5 bonus materials. I am interested but I think it may be a little to advanced for a beginner like myself. I need to allow myself to get familiar with the "trade" first before any of that material can be of any use to me. Now as far as the book itself by Mr. Roberts, I absolutely loved it and I am so excited to buy my first stock. I am also buying his other books Your Future Paychecks and Raises, and many more. I like how he simplify things for beginners, stock language that I can actually relate to by him using every day terms!!! THIS BOOK IS FOR BEGINNERS AS THE TITLE SAYS, SO IF YOU ARE MORE ADVANCED IN THIS FIELD, THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS INFORMATION

A few months ago I have some knowledge and start to do my own personal financial management. I have considered many option on how to do investing especially in passive income. One among other method is stock investment. My real challenge is I completely do not know what is stock investment and where to get start from it.Until I found this book, I found an author really carefully explain to the reader since the beginning of the first step. He has shown a lot of stock on doing stock investment, how to purchase and selling your stock, where is the starting point that you should start to do it... and many other tips and advice that you could use it to do stock investment.The book won't teach you in advance level such as how to analyze the trend of the stock or read the data to make your own decision but this book help you to get confident on how to do stock investing at the beginning level. I really recommend this book to any one who is new to stock investment.Thank,Kanel
