Great for beginners

By Antoine - October 1, 2010

I got this book after reading through "The Intelligent Investor" and realizing I still didn't know how to perform a fundamental analysis by the end of it! Don't be turned off by the title, this book is great for beginners and really gets you the information you need to know. I enjoyed it especially because it is very readable and does not give you just vague fundamentals that a lot of other highly regarded books give. I'd definitely recommend this book
