Question by cherryvr18: What is the best book to read about investing in stocks for beginners like me?
i’m currently reading the one by William O’neill but i found myself lost once in a while… i just can’t understand a lot of terms! is there a dictionary for stocks or something? or is there a book that’s more intended for beginner investors who’re not very familiar with most stock market terms? Thanks!

“Investing For Dummies” is a good starter, to be followed by “Stock Investing For Dummies”, which goes a bit deeper into stocks.

To learn terms, click link below. A decent book for beginners is “The Five Rules For Successful Investing” by Pat Dorsey.

Jim Cramer has about 5 books out on investing. They aren’t as dry as financial text books.

That’s right: $91 Trillion in derivatives, financed by 1 1/4 trillion dollars of investor assets. That’s almost double the total global GDP (approx. $48 Trillion) for JP Morgan alone. Funny money. IOU’s. Another $34 Trillion for CitiBank and $32 Trillion for Bank of America, each with $1 1/4 Trillion backing their bets.

As Paul Harvery would say, “And now for the rest of the story.” These are very
interesting looking numbers. And very revealing. While it’s true that existing
single family home sales were up 2.8% month to month– they were down 22.9%
year to year. How does that old saw go? Figures don’t lie; but liars figure?
