Amazon.com Review
If You're Clueless About the Stock Market and Want to Know More is the perfect title for this snappy info-guide from Seth Godin, a prolific "book packager" who has developed a number of bestselling personal finance tomes. Aimed at the beginning long-term investor--rather than the day trader wannabe often targeted by today's investment tutorials--this book covers virtually all the essential techniques and procedures involved in the process, and it does so in a clear and logical manner. It offers helpful explanations for standard practices, such as deciphering balance sheets and income statements, as well as more sophisticated concepts like options, futures, shorting stocks, and buying on margin. There also are good sections on dealing with brokers, formulating an investment strategy, and using the Net to research and trade. Know absolutely nothing about the market's organization or operation? Godin even provides the fundamentals ("the basic function of the stock market is to provide capital resources for corporations that seek to expand their operations and finance their growth") and a brief history (beginning with America's first stock exchange, formed in Philadelphia two years before Wall Street) to get you started. --Howard Rothman |

This book teaches you how to use the techniques a good investor has. It's easy to understand, it gives tips, did-you-know information and sites or books you could read to go deeper in any subject it may mention.

Great starting point by Cameosis 5 Stars
June 26, 2009
I got the book over a year ago and just couldn't get into it because there was so much going on in my life. I got the bookworm fever again recently and thought... why not? and started reading again.
Boy am I glad I did that.
I have turned from the guy who would tune out when I heard anything market related to the guy who rushes home to hear the latest on CNBC and it is thanks primarily to this book.
While the book doesn't teach you anywhere near what you need to know to be a successful investor, it gives you the tools to get there. It sparked my interest enough to go out and want to learn more and understand more. Education is all about a strong foundation and that is what this book provides. The idea of 'Joe' setting up an IPO for his pizza store will forever be etched in my head as well as how the analogy helped me to understand the innerworkings of the economy.
Great book.

Not a great book for the beginner by cmp1313 (nc, pa)  1 Stars
January 13, 2008
Picked this up thinking it would be a good intro to the market. I was badly mistaken. You can tell the author knows a lot about the stock market, but he does not know how to explain it to someone new. I do not recommend this to beginners because of the wordage, and also don't recommend it to more advanced users as it is probably a rehash of what you already know.

So - So by Morris Green  3 Stars
October 02, 2007
the book was fairly uninteresting and almost too broad. I felt like after every tiny section, he assumed you understood and just moved on. I was really clueless and was wanting just any information I could get my hands on. I did learn a little but it wasn't necessarily that helpful. The other reason I chose this book was because the author's name came up when I was discussing Malcolm Gladwell with a friend of mine. I assumed he might be just as intriguing but I got quite the opposite within the text.
