Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent Investing book by Tyson.I bought this book after reading Mr Tysons first book on Personal Finance. This investing segment in the dummies serial takes the guesswork out of how to start investing. Like Personal Finance for dummies, this edition is also a easy read. I also strongly recommend "More Wealth without Risk" and "Financial Self Defense" for even more strategies on powerful investing. Read and grow rich! Rating:  - Good Book For BeginnersI found the book to be quite helpful, however, there were some details he missed. Also, one concern I had was the overwhelming push toward Vanguard. I appreciate his enthusiasm for Vanguard, but when I contacted Vanguard to setup an account, their customer service was so delayed, unresponsive and disinterested that I chose not to do business with them. I found that a shock considering how much Tyson raves about Vanguard. Rating: - My new favorite investing bookI bought this book thinking that it would be a very basic book that would teach about the world of investing. While the book does a spectacularly wonderful job at covering the basics, I also gained a number of powerful insights that I didn't from reading more "advanced" investing books. The discussion of how the financial markets work was a real eye opener as was the insight that many people who accumulate great wealth do so not through investing in stocks but through small business. With the U.S. stock market at such nose bleed high levels, that alternative makes sense to me! The author also clearly lays out the case against following market gurus predictions. Rating: - Pretty lame. Definately for beginners.I was surprised that this book didn't go into greater detail with regards to stock market investing and company research. I've only been investing for about 2 years now, but I learned very little from the book that I didn't already know. The information given is very basic and general, so unless you're a true beginner, you probably won't pick up much either. Rating: - Excellent soup to nuts investing bookThis book covers all the bases and provided lots of great insights and ideas. I actually read Eric Tyson's Mutual Fund for Dummies first which I also thought was excellent. Covers traditional investments as well as real estate and small business. Coverage of online resources and software also was strong. Highly, highly recommended  Try searching the Internet for "Investing for Dummies (For Dummies)" or Ebay for "Investing for Dummies (For Dummies)".
