I give it a top review for the beginner interested in the Stock Market. Stock Investing for Dummies is the first in the "for dummies" series that I've ever read, and it is so easy to understand, and gives such excellent step by step strategies that I both recommend it to all interested in the subject, and was urged to go back to the "for dummies" series for another text book.
