[Arturo Herrera Colmenero · Rating 4 out of 5]

You won't be disappointed by the title; the authors will lead you through the investment road on the Digital Era. Bare in mind the book was conceived at the Internet toddler days; but still covers sufficient technical and financial concepts key to the nowadays investor.

There's a balance on the book, providing you the very basic financial knowledge and the market's behaviour and psychology.

The authors conclude: "Our advice is to start now and get the learning curve out of the way."
This book will be your compass.
