Misleading Title, Mix Feelings,
By book maniac (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How the Stock Market Really Works: The Guerrilla Investor's Secret Handbook (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
This book distills wide-ranging topics on the 'financial market' into a succinctly bare-bones outline, which is rather easy to follow. Admittedly, the stock market is one part of the financial market, so it might be wrong to assert that such as the chapters titled 'Bank', 'Lloyd's of London', 'Overseas Investment', 'Other Investment', and 'Tax' have nothing at all to do with the 'stock market'. However, my first impression about the book from its title is that it should be a book mainly dealing with the stock market. Much to my surprise, I have acquired a general picture of how the UK 'financial market' works after reading this book, but ended up at a loss about 'How the Stock Market Really Works'.

This review is from: How the Stock Market Really Works: The Guerrilla Investor's Secret Handbook (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
After reading the 2nd edition I found this book the most straightforward explanations of a topic that confuses the best of us. How many people do you need to ask on the topic of the stock market before you get a clear picture. Ask no more! It explains all the fine detail without clouding the issue and even explains the illegal side so that you are aware of those cowboys!

Broader than the title suggests,

This review is from: How the Stock Market Really Works: The Guerilla Investor's Secret Handbook (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
It turns out this book is not only about the stock market, which it covers successfully and in depth, but also about derivatives, foreign exchange, bonds, international investment and UK taxation. It also covers the theories of investment that drive professional investors.
It is subtitled "The Guerilla Investor's Secret Handbook", which implies it is going to reveal investment secrets to help the beginner make money, but more prosaically it ends up (probably quite rightfully) advising patience, and that there is no such thing as a fast or easy buck. So, while it doesn't teach you a fail-safe way for making fast money from the stock market, for anyone who doesn't have shares or investments or doesn't really understand them, it is an in-depth introduction. If you are in this group and want to get a solid grounding, I'd thoroughly recommend it.
