Summary: AUTHOR PRESENTS INCORRECT INFORMATION ON PENNY STOCKS
Review: I read this book two times. Since most of my investing is in investing in penny stocks, I felt he slammed penny stocks, no matter how strong the companies are. On page 177, Chapter 13, he beings a chapter titled "Scams: Investments to Avoid." He begins by slamming "penny stocks." A more truthful and positive approach to investing in penny stocks is a book, presently in print, titled "Making Dollars with Pennies: How the Small Investor Can Beat the Wizards on Wall Street," by R. Max Bowser. Max Bowser even offers a $5,000 guarantee if an investor does not make a profit using his approach--check out "Guaranteed Profits with Small Stocks: The Only Stock Market Investment System That Comes With A $5,000 Guarantee," by R. Max Bowser. Mr. Bowser is the only investment writer who backs up his promises with such a guarantee.

Summary: Need a Little More
Review: Mattive covers the basics of investing for the beginner, but the coverage is too minimal. Even the beginner requires more information than is provided in this new book.

One good point is that he attempts to teach the new investor about options, a topic that is too often omitted in such books. For additional help with conservative uses for options, I recommend The Short Book on Options.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mattive Rocks
Review: This is a great introduction to investing! Easy to understand and chock-full of information. I would recommend this to anyone who feels they have more to learn about the in's and out's of investing.
