Summary: Good start up books
Date: 2008-02-17 - 
Comment: The book is very fundamental but I need this anyway. This book provides clarifications on the basic of trading. You will find terminologies quickly that you will need for trading which is very helpful to me. Don't expect this book to show you how to make money but to understand how trading works.

Summary: Not up to the Dummies standard
Date: 2007-06-16 - 
Comment: I had hoped that, since this book discusses both fundamental and technical analysis, it would be a balanced blend of the two. However, it is almost entirely a technical analysis book, that acknowledges the existence of fundamentals and not much else.
The fact that the book doesn't match my investment style isn't enough on its own to earn a two-star rating from me. Unfortunately, it is also poorly written, and poorly edited. It is wordy, jargony, confusing, vague, and occasionally (as near as I can tell) inaccurate. Most significantly, it is missing the spark that made the reputation of the Dummies books - the inspired organization and careful choice of topics that allow a single book to provide a useful foundation in a complicated subject.
That said, I did (laboriously) read the whole thing. It added some polish to my chart-reading abilities. It also helped me to understand some previously inexplicable aspects of market behavior. I am not likely to become a technical analyst anytime soon, but I now feel slightly better prepared to share the marketplace with them.

Summary: Excellent foundation for the beginning trader
Date: 2007-01-05 -
Comment: Trading for Dummies is an excellent book for anyone interested in starting to trade stocks. This book really kept me wanting to read on and on because every section was filled with plenty of information. The way the chapters are arranged were very good in that you don't have to be going back and forth to understand the whole concept. One thing I noticed was that this book is for someone who wants to be a position trader as opposed to a day trader, which is good because that is what I want to do. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about how the stock market works, this book is an excellent read. Overall I give it the full five stars.

Summary: Must read for those who want to make money
Date: 2006-08-04 -
Comment: Great book. Covers all the bases, including fundamental and technicals. I have read a few of the other Dummies books on investing and all were well written. This book is for those who want to make money, not just buy and hold and hope for the best. I learned more about trading/investing with the Dummies series than 4 years of college majoring in finance. And yes, I have made money.

Summary: Great Introduction
Date: 2006-04-14 -
Comment: IMHO The reason the "for dummies" brand has been successfull aside from the catchy name, is the actual content and material of the books themselves.
This book has been a great read for some one like myself that already had an idea of what investing entails, but that does not preclude total beginners with no idea from gaining an immense amount of great information from this book.
It is written in plain language and is a great place for a beginner to start his journey.
