5.0 out of 5 stars Storming book for the beginner and reference to the expert, 11 Sep 2001
By A Customer
As a newbie to finance I wanted a book that would ease me into the normally mysterious and murky world of finance, stocks and shares. I bought this book from Amazon and although I wouldn't call myself an expert I have a much firmer grasp of share dealing. I am outperforming my friends who have been trading 18 months and even in this bear market I am still in profit. Buy this book now.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last a financial book good for beginners, 19 Dec 2001
By A Customer
First I tried to read "Using the Financial Pages" by FT but after I read a few pages I stopped. Definitions and more definitions. This book is different because it have examples. Thus you understand much better things like EPS, PE, etc. From my experience people who understand things well can also explain them well and I think Michael Brett is one of those guys. If you want to invest in stocks, this book is worth the money, as it will help you understand the fundementals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not really a beginners guide
The book is certainly very thorough. For someone reasonably familiar with financial services products this works well but for the total beginner there is too much detail that can... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed
This book is packed with jargon and explanations and it works well as a reference. It helps me to pick out bits of interest. Read more
