5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT REFRESHER COURSE FOR THE SEASONED INVESTOR, Feb 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Stock Investing For Dummies (Paperback)
I read almost every book I can about investing. I have been investing since I was a paperboy at age 16. A man came to my parent's home and presented stock to purchase in an insurance company that was going public. My father, brother and I bought shares in that company. (I realize now that we made a very risky choice in purchasing stocks from a man selling door-to-door). Several years later, I sold my shares to pay college expenses. After college, I jumped into buying low-priced stocks. I later was introduced to a system of buying low-priced stocks of $3 or less a share by an investor named R. Max Bowser. Somewhere in the 1970s I began receiving free copies of a newsletter that he started. After a year, I remember having to subscribe in order to keep receiving the monthly newsletter. I have found his system to be profitable and easy to understand. In addition to the featured book, "Stock Investing for Dummies," I would also recommend R. Max Bowser's books. I have recently read Mr. Bowser's newest book which is based on his investing experience over the past 24 years. After buying "Stock Investing For Dummies," I would recommend getting hold of a copy of "Guaranteed Profits: The Only Stock Market Investment System That Comes With A $5,000 Guarantee," by R. Max Bowser. I have never known of another author making such a guarantee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great at explaining the basics, Nov 23 2003
This review is from: Stock Investing For Dummies (Paperback)
I found that this book is great a explaining the basics and going a bit more into detail as needed. It didn't confuse and confound as so many other books do. Each chapter is layed out and covers it's topic well enough that you actually get something useful from it. Even if you aren't going to use that particular technique yourself.

One thing in particular that I found useful was Due Diligence (being careful when you buy). I use www.stockchase.com for that as well as yahoo and google and some other sites. (it's amazing what you find).

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, May 10 2003
This review is from: Stock Investing For Dummies (Paperback)
Solid, solid, solid. This book is very resourceful. I have never picked up one of these "Dummies" books before but got this one as a gift. It covers enough about investing in stocks and the securities industry in general so as to ease the befuddled neophyte. For the rudiments, start here. Then afterwards, you can move on to that other junk promising you the secrets of Wall Street.
