Good Overview about Investments

This book is intended to give readers an overview of investing. The topics covered in this book are stocks, bonds, mutual funds, money-market securities, treasury securities, options, futures, real estate, precious metals, and collectibles. It also gives readers basic advice such as having an investment strategy and allocating assets among different investment types. This book alone will not make an investor an expert in any of the topics covered, but it is a good place to start. Everyone who deals with money, which is all of us, should be educated about investments and different investment products. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market

concise practical information

This is the best book I have found on general investing. It explains stocks, bond, options and other investment avenues very concisely and simply. The best book to start with.

Good overview

I haven't really gotten into the book yet, but it is what I was looking for - investing explained on a beginners level. My children are interested in investing and don't know anything about the market. There are a few areas I need to learn about as well. I recommend Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics for someone new to economics. I am amazed at how he can explain economics so simply and understandably. There is a woeful ignorance of how the economy works.
