This book is hard to understand!
Is the Dummies series really produced for Dummies?
I am a Dummiest. No doubt about it.

[Kara Wong · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's written in a way which is very hard to be understood for beginners, especially in the sections of options and futures. I spent so much efforts trying to understand, but to no avail. In addition, it's very informative, but a lot of the information is out of date, for examples, some of the solar energy companies the author recommended to look into has since been out of business or on the edge of closing down.

I would recommend reading financial times investing guide instead.

I didn't get all this book read. I skipped through it and read what was interesting at the time, stock market basics as well as value & technical trading.
