When you lose all of your marbles, you’re out of the game.,
Someone once said: “You win by not losing”
The only problem is that “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”
People learn more from making mistakes than from their successes, many of which are blind dumb luck.
The secret is to have many small loses along with a few large wins, that more than cancel the loses after allowing for the fees and order slippage.
Before you risk your hard earned dollars, you need to read this well written humorous book.
The author is retired Canadian mathematics professor Peter Ponzo, PhD. (a true polymath genius!)
He has provided one of the most comprehensive investing explanatory tutorials to be found.
I wish I, and everyone else could have benefited from his knowledge before I lost a pile in my first foray into the shark filled Wall Street waters.
I now have recovered those loses and am in the green once more, largely due to the wisdom found in this book.
This book makes an inexpensive valuable gift to our Grandkids, so that they can prosper in these perilous economic times.
Well worth the investment!

|If you are a beginner,
This is a great book to start out with and read. Seth Godin wrote this book seriously but humouring. This book tells you how the stock market works,tell’s you about churning and price manipulation, how much of the pie Uncle Sam wants. This book will walk you through the balance sheet and how to understand them, How to read the stock tables, what the index is about, and so on. This is just a great book and it has helped me open my mind to understanding the stock market. The only down side I could fine is if you don’t like a little bit of humour then this book may not be for you. The great side on the humour is if you got sweaty palms like I did the Godin’s humour relieve the stress. I learn a lot from this book and you will to.

|Start here if your even thinking of investing!,
This book is great for beginners! It is presented in a clear entertaining manner. I went from being clueless to feeling informed, and comfortable enough to jump into the investment world. Investment terminology is no longer intimidating, and the resources the book suggests are exactly what a beginner is looking for.

|Investments: Are they for me? Where do I start?,
Seth Godin discusses the stock market and other investment instruments in a serious but interesting and fun manner. The book is written for an audience that has little or no understanding of the investment world. Even though the audience has very little experience, the book accomplishes the task of warning you about the high risk of investing while giving you the knowledge and steps to get started. He discusses how to manage the risk but makes the point clear, there is no such thing as a risk free investment in the stock market. The book is resource rich (identifies needed tools and where to get them) and right on time for the year 2000 market place. It addresses the bull and the bear market. It is a easy read and a great introduction to investing. When you complete the book, you will have a basic understanding of the stock market and how to get started. I highly recommend this book to all beginners and people with light experience or knowledge of the investment world.
