Summary

The book you wish you'd had before you began investing。

The Investing QuickStart Guide offers a simplified but expansive introduction to the world of investing。 Author Ted Snow brings 30 years of experience in the finance industry, much to the benefit of novice learners and experienced investors alike。 Snow provides readers with the complete picture on stocks, bonds, treasuries, ETFs, mutual funds, indexes, REITS and several other investment securities。

Snow’s intrepid but practical asset-allocation investment philosophy is marvelously
communicated and highly appropriate for market newcomers。

The key insights of Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Burton Malkiel, and James Altucher all play important roles in this seminal investment resource。 But unlike most of today’s books on investment, the Investing QuickStart Guide threads the needle between thorough and simple。

You will learn the market from end to end, while also enjoying Snow’s fascinating personal stories and insights from the front lines of the finance industry。

Found this book thorough yet approachable, well-written and easy to understand。 Would recommend it to anyone looking to get a basic understanding of investing in the stock market。

Yose Dominguez

Quick read, basic to the point shared knowledge。 Great book for beginners。

Kirill

It's a very broad book about investing, but at least it tells you a bit about PEs and dollar cost averaging and so on。 Also touches on options and puts - all the fun Robinhood stuff。 It's a very broad book about investing, but at least it tells you a bit about PEs and dollar cost averaging and so on。 Also touches on options and puts - all the fun Robinhood stuff。 。。。more

Good starting pointI am learning to invest for retirement and this book built a good foundation。It covers most everything so pick out what you need or what strategy you want then study those parts。

Nick

Handy reference guide, advice tends to wander but generally assuage, later chapters ambiguous and brief in topics。

Stanley S。 Frazier

Very Effective Overview of InvestingHaving invested in only long term retirement accounts, this was a good overview of all types of investing especially for those from a more novice perspective。 It was a very enjoyable, well balanced approach and read。 I feel it has given me a good foundation for strategy as I am now ready to open a taxable brokerage account。

A well written book on investing for the long haulThe first thing I check when reading a book on investing is to check it's copyright date which is 2018。 I'm writing this review on October 2020。 So the laws is still current。The author is well qualified as he is writing from a CFP's point of view which takes a holistic view towards investing for life instead of get rich quick scheme that promotes trading instead of investing。 His emphasis is on maximizing quality of life instead of quantity of mo A well written book on investing for the long haulThe first thing I check when reading a book on investing is to check it's copyright date which is 2018。 I'm writing this review on October 2020。 So the laws is still current。The author is well qualified as he is writing from a CFP's point of view which takes a holistic view towards investing for life instead of get rich quick scheme that promotes trading instead of investing。 His emphasis is on maximizing quality of life instead of quantity of money。 He even ended the book on social investing for the benefit of the next generation。 。。。more

Great introduction to long term investing

Hassan Sharif

Though I have read more complex investment books, I would still recommend this book for beginners。 It answers most, but not all, the questions before one starting an investment。

Bashshar

Learned a lotGreat book。 Learned a whole lot。 I definitely feel a bit more prepared to enter the world of investing now。

Katerina Molchanova

Very good for beginners。

Ian

Helpful and informativeIt was helpful and informative as an in depth look at stocks and financaces in general。 Expectedly so it can be a bit slow and drag on at times。 Still worth the read though。

Because I had limited investment knowledge prior to reading, the examples and author's personal insights were key attributes to making this an interesting and understandable read。。。I would highly recommend。 Because I had limited investment knowledge prior to reading, the examples and author's personal insights were key attributes to making this an interesting and understandable read。。。I would highly recommend。 。。。more

The Investing QuickStart Guide by Ted D。 Snow is an excellent introduction into investing。 I have not yet started to invest in anything as of yet。 Part of the reason is the amount of income I do have and receive and the other being the bills I have to pay。 I wished I had taken classes that taught me more on how to invest like some high schools have started doing。 However, I do not have to real or practiced experience in this field。 Therefore, I cannot debate on anything this author says, without The Investing QuickStart Guide by Ted D。 Snow is an excellent introduction into investing。 I have not yet started to invest in anything as of yet。 Part of the reason is the amount of income I do have and receive and the other being the bills I have to pay。 I wished I had taken classes that taught me more on how to invest like some high schools have started doing。 However, I do not have to real or practiced experience in this field。 Therefore, I cannot debate on anything this author says, without doing some extensive research。 But I have found a lot of his information to be accurate。 Just not fully in-depth。 It is a beginner guide into the basics and does mention some non-basic knowledge that had me confused at times。 Simply because I wasn't sure what he was talking about nor what it all entails。 All in all, this gave me a great gateway into what investing is。 I can recommend this book to others, who like me, don't know anything but investing。 If you need more, I recommend looking into more advanced books on the subject。 I received this copy from the publisher。 This is my voluntary review。 。。。more

Mary Dickerson

The book is very informative and is easy to understand。 Very useful for any beginner with zero knowledge or understanding investments。 This quick guide will get you started, but further research will be necessary to fully understand more specific aspects of investments。

Aujé Herndon

Great book。 I learned a lot。 I wish there was more information on trading methods like swing trading and ways to better conduct technical analysis on stocks。 Nevertheless, Mr。 Snow does a great job introducing topics to new investors such as myself。 I recommend this book to anyone just starting out and want a general overview。

When I was offered a copy of this book my first thought was to turn it down, because I have no need of such a thing, I know nothing about the financial world。 Then it occurred to me that I DO need this book, desperately, BECAUSE I know nothing。 Took me awhile to get through it, and I will no doubt have to read it again, because there is a LOT of information here, but it is presented in a way that is perfectly possible to understand, with lots of simple examples。 If it can help a ignorance dunce When I was offered a copy of this book my first thought was to turn it down, because I have no need of such a thing, I know nothing about the financial world。 Then it occurred to me that I DO need this book, desperately, BECAUSE I know nothing。 Took me awhile to get through it, and I will no doubt have to read it again, because there is a LOT of information here, but it is presented in a way that is perfectly possible to understand, with lots of simple examples。 If it can help a ignorance dunce like me, it can help anyone。 。。。more

Great book for any new investor, has everything you need to get started。

Jobin

Solid basics on investingA good compact book for beginners。 It was very well explained and terms were defined as well。 I would recommend it for anyone looking for a basic but thorough background that is also a short book。

James W。 Lanning

Ripped through this book in a few days and was better off for it as somebody who knew basically zero about investing and the markets。 Great as a super high-level overview of investment products available today, but you will immediately want to start reading deeper books on various topics of interest。

This book provides a useful overview of explaining the stock markets, bonds, shares for lay investors。Whilst aimed primarily at the American investor, many of the terms still apply in the UK。 It covers what a bear and bull market is, penny stocks, futures to name but a few。I certainly thought it was useful to dip in and out of and the calculations provided to give more information was very helpful too。I received this book from netgalley in return for a honest review。

Finally I have found an investment book that I can understand and can stay awake to read。 For a beginner, this book is ideal because of the simpleof language it was written in。 The author has successfully wriiten an overall understanding of investing in stocks。 bonds or derivatives。 Many examples are included to make things easier to understand。 The glossary was very helpful。If you are a beginner to investmenting then grab this guide。 It will help you a lot。 It is very easy to understand and gra Finally I have found an investment book that I can understand and can stay awake to read。 For a beginner, this book is ideal because of the simpleof language it was written in。 The author has successfully wriiten an overall understanding of investing in stocks。 bonds or derivatives。 Many examples are included to make things easier to understand。 The glossary was very helpful。If you are a beginner to investmenting then grab this guide。 It will help you a lot。 It is very easy to understand and grasp, It will make investing much less intimidating。 。。。more
