Great book for Beginners with some general advice
The book arrived in great condition and has good information to get basics on the financial markets. The book touches a variety of topics such as how to picks stocks and looking out for dividend stocks.It’s has sound advice such as don’t trade other peoples ideas. The way I look at it is everyone’s risk profile is different like everyone shoe size. What risk may work for you may not be good for your overall portfolio. It as mentions to not trade penny stocks which are stocks under $5 but he personally suggests $10 for example a bio tech stocks.Ps I want to highlight to trader/investors don’t listen to any intuition firm who try to encourages to invest in a stock/commodity and the like. Especially ones that aren’t authorised by the FCA or FSCS. I had company cold call me to invest in an upcoming stock. I told them that I was a beginner trader and have been reading books and Mark Minervini the agent knew that I have read around and didn’t send me the brochure he promised:D. Don’t listen to any intuition firm internet guru/ TV Analyst etc as a retailer trader it’s your job to manage your own risk don’t chase profits!When you trade only risk 1-2% of your total trading account. At the start you are learning risk management not quick profits. The profits is the byproduct of good risk management and don’t be overly attached to any stock. Always Use your stop losses and manage your psychology when trading.The book is a good for beginners but additional reading is needed to complement this. Also invest in Stocks and shares ISA first and not Investor account like I did, your protected from capital gains tax. Also open a Lifetime Investment Savings Account if you can. The government says must be done before 40th birthday. I personally think it’s ages discrimination. But ultimately use Stocks and Shares ISA before a general investment account. Martin Lewis is already had a discussion with the treasury committee about this. You can watch on YouTube type Martin Lewis Treasury Committee for Sky News.Hope the info serves you well

Clear, simple, and a perfect starting point
This book is exactly what I needed as someone new to investing. It breaks down stock market basics in plain, easy-to-understand language without overwhelming you with jargon. Matthew Kratter does a great job of explaining key concepts like how to buy your first stock, what to avoid, and how to think long-term.It’s a quick read but packed with useful tips, practical examples, and honest advice. Great for building confidence if you’re just starting out. I finished it feeling informed, focused, and excited to begin investing. Highly recommend for any beginner!

Very good, but...
This book was very good. It taught you some of the basic fundamentals, the meaning of terminology etc. it gives real life examples, and advice by professional traders. But some previous reading is required, also it doesn't tell you when is the best time to enter and leave the trade. I would recommend purchasing a technical analysis book in conjunction with this book. Overall very good
