Investing For Dummies Paperback – June 7, 2016

Nothing to dislike. Still reading it.

Great book to help out a young guy like me become familiar about the importance of investing and to properly take care of their money. Its INSANE how financially illiterate I was and I feel there are plenty of young college students or recent grads like myself that have no idea what their doing.Eric breaks down complicated concepts into terms anyone can understand. I especially found his recommendations and warnings about everything to be very helpful. This is not a get rich quick book. Its about how not to die broke and how you can use time tested strategies to build wealth over time. Its scary to think that some of this info isn't taught in school. Its that important.Seriously the market is designed to look confusing, but this book here will help you navigate it. Highly recommend it.

I am brand new to the markets and this was my first step towards becoming more financially savvy. There's so many resources out there its hard to know where to start but this book does an outstanding job of breaking down the different investment vehicles, explaining their pros and cons, and indicating how they fit into a larger investment strategy. You'll want to read follow-up books on the specific investment types you find interesting but this is a perfect place to dive in.

Gave me a basic grounding in investment strategies, which I knew absolutely nothing about. However, unless you are smarter than me, you will not be able to quit your job and become a day trader. Mostly, it helped me understand a bit of what my financial planner told me.

Really simple explanations of the basics of investing. Well written for dummies like myself. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I found pretty much all the info in this book online as well. If you like having a book instead of online I recommend it.

Easy to understand, chapters well defined, easy to find specific info I was looking for. I purchased this for a friend but am reading it before I give it to him to see if it will meet his needs and is easy for him to understand. Altho I already have some good working knowledge of the subjects, it was very helpful to re-affirm my knowledge and also to build on it in areas I was less familiar with. I recommend this book for both beginning and intermediate investors.

This is a good book if you need to learn the basics in investing in stocks, your own business, or someone else's business. I figured it would explain all that but was kinda hoping for more "outside the box" investing ideas. I gave it 3 stars because I didn't really learn much. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be a good book for someone else though.

I think this is a great starting point to learn about investments: types of investments, investors, and associated risks are nicely broken down with various pros and cons. Additionally, it is great that Eric offers some particular examples of (investment) funds for different types of investments and investors.

Very American bias

Bought this for a young member of the family who starting out asking the right questions. A good beginner reference guide.

Es werden allgemeine, beachtenswerte finanztechnische, steuerliche Zusammenhänge für den längerfristigen Zeitraum dargestellt. Für den Anfänger, der beginnt, sich mit Wertpapieren, Anleihen und Immobilien auseinander zu setzen, gibt das Buch einen hilfreichen Überblick bei der Beurteilung der finanztechnischen und steuerlichen Zusammenhänge.

Great book to read, you can learn a lot..

Investing for Dummies has some general information that is of value, however it is generally aimed at the American stock market, as to be expected.I have not had the opportunity to complete reading the book so at this moment I cannot fully review it from my own perspective. I can possibly write a more complete review in a month;s time.G.McGinty
