Neatest Little Guide Stock Market Invest

Kelly does for investing what Hawkins did for science in A Brief History of Time - makes it easily accessible and understandable to the lay person. This easy to read book unearths what initially seem like complex topics to the untrained reader. Having no background in investing or finance, this book made investments simple. Providing clarity on the differences between various brokers, how to choose companies to invest in, how the various stock exchanges work etc. The only slight nuance is that all the references and terminology are American (e.g. refers to common and preferred stock which in the UK would be ordinary and preference shares) although the principles themselves apply and can be utilised globally.

This is a very good book outlining a simple but effective method for anyone to implement an investment strategy. It is US centric but is easily applied to any market using local or global investments. The plain English style is a great relief from some of the more academic type investment book. This book is not a complex one and that is what I really like about it.

The content is amazing and I would 100% recommend this book, however, the actual book is not so great. The pages are super thin and the cover is peeling off sadly.

I read a lot of investment books which deliver insights in dribs and drabs.This book is exceptional in that it covers a great deal of ground and summarises pretty much all the main investment philosophies with an unusual degree of clarity and readability.Now that so many people in the UK are dumping their financial advisors because of over-charging this book provides an essential guide to help you make your own decisions.

Some great points, a lot of repetition from another book I read previously but for the first time reader, this is great.
