This book is thorough. It is well written, easy to follow, and loaded with information. Unfortunately, all you see here is an abbreviated table of contents which is 8.5 pages in the actual book. I feel that when I finish reading it, I will have a good fundamental base of knowledge to invest in stocks, whether it is a bull or a bear market or anything in between. Because of the amount of information here, it is a real confidence building book, for me who likes have some idea of what I'm doing before I do it. It is the best book I've found so far on investing in stocks.
