[Bennett Carby · Rating 4 out of 5]

It teaches a lot of information quickly. It's easy to read but hard to understand if you have no idea what the stock market is or how it works. I wouldn't recommend starting off with this book but it definitely teaches you the basics in depth.

[Logan Rolleigh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good primer. Take your time to disseminate the verbiage and concepts.

[Daniel Finch · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy, short read to learn about trading terms, stock types and the market. Little also gives a brief overview of different investment strategies. (I wish he would have went into more detail here, but then everyone would become rich from reading the book.) It will be a good companion piece for me once I begin trading.
