Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Simple, to the point
A very straight forward book. General summary not so many specifics but exactly what it is intended for. Gives a broad explanation of all aspects of investment and a very good start up guide for people who do not plan on what to do with money. Thumbs up!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little too basic
My title says it all! The book is a little too basic but then again, I should have realized that given the title! If you have ever had even some exposure to investing, find something at the next level. It would be a better investment! :)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - From Dummy to Smarty
After reading this book, I finally have the knowledge and confidence to invest. I'm 32 years old and I'm so glad I've taken the time to educated myself, now having 27 years to consider in making the most of my money and investments.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Lots of good info.
I found this book very helpful. I like the way it is set up as well.
