Recommendation

Many Americans’ fortunes are closely tied to the stock market, and yet few investors receive any formal training in what stocks are or how they work. Into that breach comes stock trader Edward W. Ryan, who offers this simple, easy-to-digest explanation of what stocks are and how to buy them. This guide is as basic as the title promises — Ryan doesn’t delve into economic theory, and he gives only glancing coverage of advanced trading tactics. This is very much a Stock Market–101 guide, delivered in clear, engaging prose that market newcomers will welcome.

Take-Aways

  • Companies are the cornerstone of the stock market — and people are the most important part of any company.
  • Executives and directors are responsible for delivering performance.
  • Capital — a fancy word for funds — is the lifeblood of any company.
