Best Introduction to the Stock Market
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This was my first book on investing, three years ago. It starts with the assumption that you know nothing, but it treats you like an educated, intelligent person. The pace goes quickly, and by the end of the book you know everything you need to know to be an intelligent investor.I have recommended this book to several friends who wanted a good investing primer.
An Edifying Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Groz's book is just the kind of investment book that has been needed to fill the gap between market kitch and high-brow professional narrative. It leaves the reader feeling well informed but piques her curiousity -- and prepares her for an even deeper understanding of the markets and investing. It is clear that this was Groz's intention. A great book for journeyman investors seeking to negotiate markets and market-speak on a daily basis.
The Best Book on Investing

After reading many books on investing, this is the first I've found that offers keen insights to beginners and advanced investors. I would have no problem recommending this book to any of my Wall Street friends--or to my parents.
A MUST HAVE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is a must have for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the financial markets and how to invest in them. It's written in an engaging style that draws the reader in as it demystifies key investment concepts, strategies, jargon, and products. The author's knowledge is encyclopedic, and his presentation of the material is even-handed, informing the reader of the pros and cons of different investment approaches. I haven't found any other book that covers as broad a range of topics as this one (and I've looked hard.) Overall, a very useful tool and a pleasure to read.
