It seems like the Wall Street Journal Complete Money and Investing Guidebook was meant for novice/beginner investors. It plows through lots of terminology, explaining a lot of the ideas and terms that those of us who majored in say, humanities or communications (like me) missed out on. Flipping through this at Barnes and Noble, I found a lot of ideas that I had heard of but didn’t necessarily know much about,as well as seemingly straight-forward and jargon-free explanations.
I’m planning an starting to do more investing and this seems like it is going to be a good reference guide to help ward of shady brokers and financial planners (in the remote chance I use one) as well as help me do a lot of the research and decision-making myself.
