Understanding Wall Street
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.76/5 from 17 reviews A ABSOLUTE MUST READIf you have any desire to learn about the stock market this is the book for you. It starts from the very begining how wallstreet got its name and the very first markets in the usa.It should cover just about any nuts and bolt question.It takes you thru a mock corporation to the point that it sells shares in the company.If i had just one book to reccomend for understanding the workings of wall street this is it.This should be mandatory reading for any class MaXimum Support for your LearningThe BEST way to understand how Wall Street Work. Descriptions and Analysis are laid out in layman's terms. Im currently as a "junior" working for wall street. Fresh from college, I needed a book that I will enjoy and learn from it by heart. The analyst of my firm recommended this book. I, too, highly recommend this book for people who are determined to make MONEY in trading. It'll help you lessen your risks and sharpen your skills in determining factor that affects the stock market. Hope I was able to help. The Basic Ideas and DefinitionsThis book is like a "Dummies Guide" to Wall Street. It covers all the basic concepts and theories at a low level or introductory level. The book is one of the best books available on Wall Street investing for the general reader. But the book is more technical like a dictionary or text book. It does not tell you what to do to invest. If you are a general investor do not rush out and buy stocks - unless it is mad money for fun based on the book. You need to read more books. Here are some more books to read on the actual investing and market trends. As a general investor I like three books. They are "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by John C Bogle the founder of the Vanguard Group, and "Irrational Exuberance" by professor Robert J. Shiller. If you can read these books you will have the basic information needed to become a successful and diversified investor, Also I like "Random Walk down Wall Street" by Burton G. Malkiel. If you follow these three books, for the most part you will yield superior investing results. If you follow these books you will understand the markets, the trends, the volatility, the rewards and required patience - and you will not need a pesky and expensive stock broker/financial advisor. 4 stars.
