Most of this is still viable information today and is pretty useful。

Eric did a great job writing this book。 It will truly teach you about investing from how to read stock ticker symbols， to the difference between mutual funds/index funds。 He also goes into home ownership and real estate investing as well。 Don’t be deceived by the “dummies” title。 This book will even teach people who have an understanding of “investing”。

I like the book。 Its not the sexiest read but its very educational and practical which is exactly what I think the author wants to get through to the reader。 It truly does feel like an Investing 101 course， straight up informative。 With that being said it does kind of get dull during certain parts so take breaks if you need to。

Very good advice on investing。 I particularly like a couple things he said。 Number one， your primary money making talent in this world is your ability to work， not your ability to invest in stocks more intelligently than other people。 That makes a lot of sense to me。 The other thing I like is， "Don't expect to beat the market。" If stocks are up eight percent for the year， you can expect your portfolio to be up about eight percent （give or take） for the year。Where Mr。 Tyson loses me is talking ab Very good advice on investing。 I particularly like a couple things he said。 Number one， your primary money making talent in this world is your ability to work， not your ability to invest in stocks more intelligently than other people。 That makes a lot of sense to me。 The other thing I like is， "Don't expect to beat the market。" If stocks are up eight percent for the year， you can expect your portfolio to be up about eight percent （give or take） for the year。Where Mr。 Tyson loses me is talking about less commonly thought of forms of investing， including becoming a landlord and starting （or buying） a small business。 I read this book for tips on the stock market， not to become an entrepreneur。 。。。more

If you are considering reading this book， be aware that there are parts which are more specifically written to American investors。 Having said that， and not being an American myself， I found it useful and was able to skip the irrelevant parts。That is actually one of the book's strengths: the knowledge it imparts is well compartmentalized。 You can jump around easily， and it isn't difficult to completely skip entire chapters; I actually skipped a whole section and experienced no loss of context。It If you are considering reading this book， be aware that there are parts which are more specifically written to American investors。 Having said that， and not being an American myself， I found it useful and was able to skip the irrelevant parts。That is actually one of the book's strengths: the knowledge it imparts is well compartmentalized。 You can jump around easily， and it isn't difficult to completely skip entire chapters; I actually skipped a whole section and experienced no loss of context。It is a useful introduction to the nuts and bolts of personal investment。 I came out at the other end feeling more comfortable with investing。 Not a lot more， but some。 。。。more

A very basic introduction to investing that doesn’t capture the broader perspective of how it fits within sociopolitical development and without noting the nature of risk adequately。

Käytiin laajasti läpi monenlaiset sijoituskohteet。 Huomioitavat veroasiat koskivat tietenkin vain Yhdysvaltoja， mutta oli kiinnostavaa lukea niistäkin miten poikkeavat Suomen käytännöistä。

I’m not surprised that many have said and would say that this book is BASIC and of NO HELP or worse - DID NOT FINISH THE BOOK。 I， too， agree with their sentiments。 I find that some of the information provided are no longer relevant - OUTDATED。 The book also contains recommendations （ or should I say ADVERTISEMENTS） that are very biased to the interest of the author。 Now I understand why its called “for DUMMIES”。 You are dumb to buy this book。 I do not recommend this book。

Overall， this is a good starting point for a "dummy" - anyone with little to no idea about the several ways in which people can invest money。 If you are looking for advice or a reference book about a specific type of investment， you're better off sticking to a book that is specifically about real estate， small business， or whatever venture you're looking to get into as it would provide more depth than what Tyson is capable of covering under such a broad title。The book covers several different ty Overall， this is a good starting point for a "dummy" - anyone with little to no idea about the several ways in which people can invest money。 If you are looking for advice or a reference book about a specific type of investment， you're better off sticking to a book that is specifically about real estate， small business， or whatever venture you're looking to get into as it would provide more depth than what Tyson is capable of covering under such a broad title。The book covers several different types of investments， beginning with stocks。 As someone with a new interest in investing， the content was mostly easy to digest and didn't suffer much from dryness。 However， if you have no interest whatsoever in the topic and are only reading it because you feel a responsibility to do something with your money， you may struggle to get through it。 Regardless， it's something you should power through anyway - your finances will be much better off for it。I read an outdated edition from 2011， but there are still a lot of useful investing principles that still apply today。 It's also US-centric， so if you're not from the US it's probably better to find an equivalent introductory book for your country。Despite the general good advice， there are a couple of some eyebrow-raising aspects to this book。 I noted a section midway through where Tyson strongly advocated for a particular investment service company that spanned across an entire page， which read like an advertisement rather than his other briefer recommendations。 He also states that you absolutely "need" life insurance if you have dependents， which is questionable （perhaps this is good advice for US citizens， but certainly not all countries）。Overall it's a good start， especially if you're from America。 Don't be like me and settle for an older copy: grab the most recent version， educate yourself about investing， and put your money to work！ 。。。more

A great book for all beginners when it comes to investing， learned valuable information that better shaped my financial mindset， the book talks about different aspects of investing （like stocks and real estate）， and I was particularly drawn to the real estate section of the book where I learned all the basics （and dare I say） and even more。 full review: https://adamatures。com/2020/02/26/inv。。。check out: https://adamatures。com/ A great book for all beginners when it comes to investing， learned valuable information that better shaped my financial mindset， the book talks about different aspects of investing （like stocks and real estate）， and I was particularly drawn to the real estate section of the book where I learned all the basics （and dare I say） and even more。 full review: https://adamatures。com/2020/02/26/inv。。。check out: https://adamatures。com/ 。。。more

I listened to the audiobook instead of reading。 Its dry so it was a good choice but I found this book incredibly helpful。 I went in with essentially no knowledge of investing and feel like I understand basics at least。 Highly recommend for people who want to learn to take control of their finances。

Not sure I really learnt much here， but on the plus side maybe that means I’m not a dummy？Good solid foundation for anyone who doesn’t know much about investing。
