4 out of 5 stars Invest in This Book...

This book is a great little introduction to the basics of investing in stocks. It gives a solid foundation for further reading in this area. I would not, however, rely solely up on this book alone when beginning to invest. It provides an excellent overview but does not go in-depth. I recommend reading this book first then moving on to Jason Kelly's "The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing." These two together will be all you need to get in the game!

Pros:
- Quick and concise summary of stocks, the market and how to trade
- Well-written and clear
- Professional, sound advice

Cons:
- Many typos (obviously not well-proofread)
- A little too short on the details
- Pricey for the size and content!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent starter book

This book is extremely helpful for those who want to get into the stock business. It lays out stock trading clearly and also gives pointers to other avenues of information.

5 out of 5 stars such straight-forward honesty is rare

Most investment books are a lot of hype and repaetition of some tired theme. Not this little gem! Hamacher and Baldassarre have put together a little book that says a lot that will be useful to the investor who wants to know how to do it right.
