Customer Reviews

Excellent resource of information.

The first third of this book is detailed information about how to analyze stock numbers, ratios, etc. That's quite valuable information and key to developed a system of analysis to figure out the stocks in which you want to invest.What surprised me was the *rest* of the book! They compiled a comprehensive list of hundreds and hundreds of companies which have dividend reinvestment and related plans. This made calling those companies for more info so easy! So easy to get started with investing my savings for the long term. BUY THIS -- you won't regret it.

Helped me start saving!

Great book for a starting investor who wants to save money on brokerage fees! I had zero knowledge on DRIP's and DSP's. This book helped me get started setting up an account and in picking a company to invest in long-term. This is the best investing book I have ever read. Jeff Fischer's writing style is comprehensable and fun to read. I loved it!

Comprehensive and concise, too

This book covers everything to get started in the stock market with whatever money you have, and it's concise enough too that it doesn't waste your time with extra words. A very finely written book. The investment plan information in the appendix is nice to have in print.

Best direct investing book

I have purchased three direct investing books, and this one is by far the best... comprehensive and easy to follow... they arrange the info on investment plans in a clean format... don't worry about direct investment plans being too complicated... they're very easy and everyone should get involved with them... this is a good book for getting started.

Great book for beginning investors

I bought this book because it promised that I coud start investing with very little cash, and it has delivered. I have just about finished the book, and am already planning on starting investing in my first DRIP plan. I highly recommend that anyone who needs to start investing look into direct investment plans, and consider buying this book.
