 Very easy to read November 7, 2008
This book is great. Good information, which usually is hard to understand because if you're new to the world of investments it should sound like gibberish, but this books makes it so easy that you'll think you're reading a cookbook.
 Great Investing book November 6, 2008
This book is a must have, I have recommended to all my friends and family. Kudos to the Author for publishing such a wonderful book
If you're new to stock-market investing, start here November 4, 2008
If you've ever taken a college-level math course, you know that many math teachers have an interest in keeping everything just a bit obscure. They're afraid that if they clarify everything and define their terms, you'll know as much as they do. Kelly clearly doesn't adhere to this philosophy. If you're a beginner to stock market investing, there's no better place to start than here. Even if you find that many seasoned investors don't agree with Kelly's trading strategies, it doesn't matter. What's important for a new investor is to just understand what's going on. When you hear trading-floor jargon, you want to be able to know what information is being conveyed. Otherwise, it will be of no use to you. Kelly's strategies, while debatable, apply the jargon to real life. And there's really no shortcut. Either you know the basics, or you don't. If you try to just "pick them up" along the way, you'll spend a lot of time on a learning curve--time which could be put to better use buying and selling stock. And, unless you're using monopoly money, learning curves can be terribly expensive. If you want to buy a stock intelligently, you're going to be buying a company. And if you do, you've got to do fundamental analysis. (Some people don't believe in the bars & graphs used in technical analysis.) And if later you want to get into more esoteric stuff like option trading, the basics have to be second nature. You can't waste time asking what terms like Return on Equity or Dividend Yield mean. If you master this book, you won't have to.
Internalize the definitions and rules offered in this book, and then get out there and do a few dry-run transactions. You can put together any number of mock portfolios on Yahoo Finance. And the Internet is full of resources for getting the information you'll need. (Kelly spends a lot of time discussing Value Line. Nowadays, there's no need to spend that kind of money for information that can be had at a fraction of the cost, or for free.) I use Investools, which makes available a ton of data.
Don't be put off by the small size of the book. It's dense with information, and all of it is useful, even essential. I'm looking forward to seeing a later edition, since some of the stuff in this book is already dated. But again, what it does it does very well--teaching you how to talk and think like an investor. What it doesn't do it doesn't even try to do. Kelly knows his readers' limitations. You should know yours.
A great introduction to stocks November 1, 2008

This book was a great introduction to stocks. This book eliminated the intimation for understanding stocks. It's a great read too. It's a great first book.
