The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing: Fifth Edition

Ok

The first 40 pages of the book needs more explanation. I have to google almost every term for proper explanation. But after it, I salute Mr. Kelly for writing such a wonderful book.

Good binding, readable.. Ok OK paper quality

End-to-end coverage of how stock market investing works. A complete guide.

for everyone who wants to INVEST in stocks

very good

The book presents a comprehensive view of the working of the stock market. The checklist to monitor the stocks is fairly good although some of the parameters listed are hard to find for the Indian investors, as the author frequently references the valueline data. Overall a good book.

Good

Its a summary of several legendary works summarized in one book in plain English.

This may be the best reference to understand the world of investing.... I am not a beginner but not that experienced either..... this has help me develop/adopt “value investing”.... thanks very much. !

I bought this book with little knowledge about finance and investing. The book gives us different perspectives of investing. First is a glimpse of the great minds in investor world (e.g. Warren Buffet is one of them without question), on what mindset should we have if we start investing. And then he gives us FACTS, what actually already happened in the stock market, and how we use them for us investing in the future.This book does not give an instant method how to get rich (I wouldn't like it this way), but a method how to find our style in investing, and HOW we should proceed forward.Really recommended for those who want to start learning to invest, and willing to work and do research for it.

Understanding the business behind a stock is crucial to have control on your investments. Jason makes you understand that not getting taken away quickly on the highs and lows of a stock, but rather trying to understand if there's a business reason for it, is detrimental to make money in the long term.

Kelly does for investing what Hawkins did for science in A Brief History of Time - makes it easily accessible and understandable to the lay person. This easy to read book unearths what initially seem like complex topics to the untrained reader. Having no background in investing or finance, this book made investments simple. Providing clarity on the differences between various brokers, how to choose companies to invest in, how the various stock exchanges work etc. The only slight nuance is that all the references and terminology are American (e.g. refers to common and preferred stock which in the UK would be ordinary and preference shares) although the principles themselves apply and can be utilised globally.
