Forbes Guide to the Markets: Becoming a Savvy Investor

It is a basic book, it gives an overall knowledge on securities. It helps a lot and the reading is easy, accessible for everybody.

In the aftermath of the great financial crisis, there has never been a greater need for Fin Lit, i.e., Financial Literacy. Having read a great many books on the markets, I can think of no better place to start than Groz's book. The remarkable thing is how many intriguing insights there are for experienced investors. Not surprising, as Groz is a highly regarded expert whose understanding of risk has been recognized by the best of the financial press (Joe Nocera of the New York Times, for one). He is also a true innovator and brings his inventive gifts to his writing. All in all, a tour de force!

This book gives a good overview of the popular investment instruments available today. However, I found much of its content is only scratching the surface. I would only recommend this book to a complete investment novice.

-Very good introductory book to understanding the stock market and investing.
