I had no idea that there where more than one stock exchanges before reading the book. Now I know how to hedge investments using options. the book covers every aspect of the stock market that the novice should know about. I read the book in 2 days because it was written in a format that I could comprehend. I can now amaze my friend with my knowledge of stocks.

I HIGHLY reccomend this book to kids that are interested in stock trading. I have tried to read all kinds of stock books, and this one is the only one that I could understand past the first 30 pages! This book isn't a dumb kiddy book either. It goes into GREAT detail about options, margin trading, and investment strategies. The moment I turn 18 I am on my way to the market! (and you should too)

For anyone just getting started in investing, this book takes a lot of the mystery out of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc, in an easy to read, systematic approach.

The book is well organized. I especially liked the definitions in the columns. It allowed for quick review while going on to the next concept. The glossary in the back is comprehensive.
