More people than ever before are saving for and trading in the stock market. Baby boomers have socked away nearly half a trillion dollars for investing over the last four years. Everyone wants to increase their investment, but how do you really learn the ins and outs of how the stock market works? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money on Wall Street, Third Edition, gives you all you need to know--everything from how mutual funds work to which market strategies are safest. Should you choose to invest with Uncle Sam? What is a no-load fund and why could it be better? How do you plan for taxes when you sell? Are bonds for you? What is day-trading and why can it be good--or bad? What do all those government numbers mean for the future of the market? Answers to all these questions and more can be found in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money on Wall Street, Third Edition.

An utterly condescending piece of garbage
I read through this book hoping to learn the ins and outs of investing. Instead, all I got was an assortment of trite sayings and poorly organized - almost to the point of being random - definitions. The few - and I say few - helpful pieces of information in this book come with the air of condescension; the writer spends most of her time pampering the reader with her own suggestions for a successful investing career, instead of providing adequate information for the reader to make an informed decision. In short, the title of the book isn't just for laughs - the writer does assume that you are a COMPLETE IDIOT. Anyone with an ounce of intellectual self-respect and a desire to LEARN about Wall Street can find better literature elsewhere.
Great introduction to the market.

required reading for anyone who wants to invest money
First of all i recomend that you read the Complete idiot's guide to investing like a pro before progessing to this book. You could get by without it since some material is very similar. The only part of this book that is diffucult to understand is the section on options and futures, but this is the best attempt to explain that very difficult investment play. I am writing this on 7/23/2002 when the market is doing horrible, but since reading the book, even though like most investors i am losing some money i am beating the market averages.
I think they meant it when they said complete.
This is not just a how-to book. Or strategy book. But a complete description of what you are dealing with book. This has all the technical descriptions and examples. This book also has, "Did you know this", gray boxes. For example:" Bet you didn't know. More certificates of deposit mature in April and October any other time of year."
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Money, 4th Edition
I am an idiot no longer!
This book was fantastic! It was simple reading on a very confusing subject. This book combined very informative straight talk with just the right amount of humor. It held my attention. I can now watch financial review shows on TV and know what they are talking about.
