  • Super basic but…
Format: Paperback
It’s a super basic read that introduces you to a variety of investment options. Keep in mind it’s an older book, so some investments and websites in the book don’t exist anymore. If you’re totally brand new to investing, this book does have some good info buried in it. My suggestion is to take topics from the book and then explore them more through YouTube videos or other sources. Example of the book vs our world these days: You can do fractional shares through many apps, but that didn’t exist when this book was written. Overall, I think it’s fine for the price if you are new to investing. ... show more
