A friend of mine loaned me this book, and he may never get it back... Because it was published in 1988, some of the data has become a bit stale, but the concepts described in this book haven't changed: buy and MEMORIZE it before you start to buy stocks, bonds, CDs, or mutual funds. The book starts simple (definitions, why certain things are considered important) and then clearly works up to the complex (options, commodities, futures). It is simple where it should be simple, and complex where it should be complex--which makes this book both easy to read, and easy to learn from.
