• Great Overview!
26 December, 2009
Investing for Dummies does it's name justice. It provides a very detailed yet elementary description that I could easily understand. If you are looking for 101 type information and are clueless as where to start, this is a great place

• Redundant, Too Academic, Not Bad, But Boring
03 February, 2010
I wanted to get some points in investment quickly, but it didn't work. The book covers a lot of materials, but could've done it much more concisely. The writing is very redundant and not straight forward. It is like reading an academic paper. Yet, the author's viewpoint is somewhat fixed, which resulted in not providing board perspective toward investment. For example, he just cuts off a short-term stock trading as gambling. He does talks about many different kinds of investment, but again his viewpoint is fixed, like a history teacher's lecture in the ivory tower. It is boring to read.

• Required Reading For Anyone Who Likes Money
05 October, 2009
My brother has his MBA, pasted his Series 7 and is currently working in "finical planning" field. He knew that I was trying to make the best out of my savings and investments (IRA, money market, etc) so he bought me this book for my birthday this year. I have just completed this book and I have to say I am very impressed. "For Dummies..." books are usually pretty solid with regards to content and information, this book isn't an exception.
Eric Tyson is the author of this book and he provides very pragmatic insight on the world of investing. Tyson uses his professional experience, as well as explaining the complex world that is "investing your dollar under the U.S.A."! The fifth edition was published at the end of last year (2008), when economy in America really became crucial in the public opinion. Many people lost thousands (like me) and millions of dollars. Not to mention that the economy became a big "selling point" for the 2008 Presidential election.
This book also touches on buying/selling real estate, buying/selling a business, investing in stocks, bond, mutual funds, taxes and many other topics. Another thing that Tyson provides is "what not to do" with money and/or investments. Many times a non-example is more powerful than a basic example. Tyson also has the ability to keep the information grounded and cuts through a lot of the jargon, with sliding in bits of humor here and there.
I would recommend this book to anyone who cares about money and perhaps making more of it (who doesn't want more money?). I had several finical funds before I read this book (and still do), but after reading this book I have a better understanding how and when I will use the money I am saving/investing.
