Stock Investing For Beginners: How To Buy Your First Stock And Grow Your Money

I am extremely new to investing my hard earned money, after having it sit into my 401k with my employer, I took Mr. Roberts advice and rolled it over into my (new Ameritrade account I just opened). Now with that being said, I had 30 days to deposit $3,000 into my account in order to buy and sell trades. There was quite a bit of information on the login page and I got really intimidated and scared, AT FIRST, then I took two deep breathes and said to my subconscious, "keep going you got this". Of course I did. Now, to the newsletters he mentions about Oxford, OMG, I was on the site and they running a special to get alot of $99 dollars for the highest subscription which was regularly $249 and you get I believe it was like 4 or 5 bonus materials. I am interested but I think it may be a little to advanced for a beginner like myself. I need to allow myself to get familiar with the "trade" first before any of that material can be of any use to me. Now as far as the book itself by Mr. Roberts, I absolutely loved it and I am so excited to buy my first stock. I am also buying his other books Your Future Paychecks and Raises, and many more. I like how he simplify things for beginners, stock language that I can actually relate to by him using every day terms!!! THIS BOOK IS FOR BEGINNERS AS THE TITLE SAYS, SO IF YOU ARE MORE ADVANCED IN THIS FIELD, THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS INFORMATION

This little book is great to get you started in the stock market. It focuses on growth stocks and gives some information about dividend paying stock. After you read it, you will be able to open a broker account and buy (and sell) your first stocks. The information covered is very basic, which is great, if you don't know much (anything) about stocks. If you would like more information, the book gives links to other resources (newsletters, websites, books, tv shows). The book is written in a conversational tone, so it's an easy and quick read (it's even a bit entertaining thanks to the author's writing style). However, if you want to know more than the basic basics, get a different book.

I personally thought its an extremely helpful book for pure beginners. People who don't have a single clue about the stock market i think this is the book for you. But does it get to the point where you can comfortably buy a stock, from my point of view i don't think so. I think the books just gives you an overall idea on how the stock market works and how the investor should think. Its very brief I enjoyed the book, very great examples to make things much more simple to understand. Overall it an Excellent book for beginner, but not to the point where you could comfortably buy a stock as the title claims.

This was one of the very first investing books I ever bought and is one, if not THE BEST book for beginners I’ve ever read. It’s very straightforward and concise with zero fluff. John does a great job writing in a conversational way and makes this an easy and enjoyable read, yet informative enough so you feel confident to start investing your money. 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very, very basic book on stocks. There is some useless comments and info in the book which takes up some of the measly 65....really 61 pages. The last few pages are promoting one of the authors books. The free book resources he recommends in the book are not free. The TV show he recommends is on a paid station. The book is VERY minimal and you will need additional books to understand terms, graphs, and in depth information. The cost should be no more than $3.

Ok i must write a review about this book. I bought this book as a way to understand the stock market and to to get in the action and after reading the whole book I will keep it FOREVER. If you want to get into the action and get a CLEAR understand of how to get in , THIS IS THE BOOK . THIS IS THE BOOK THAT WILL GET YOU IN AND PROBABLY CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE. I WILL PUT THE INFORMATION FROM THIS BOOK AS HITTING THE LOTTERY, ENOUGH SAID.

This book is a work of genius!!! I tried to get into stocks years ago and none of the references for beginners I came across made any sense, so I gave up. I decided to give it another try and some references captured the very basics like "what is a stock?" "why is investing important?" but after that sent me for a loop again. I decided not to give up again and that's what led me to this book. John Roberts simplifies EVERYTHING! He puts in a relative perspective so you can understand it better. Like saying an exchange is basically an auction. He relates something unfamiliar to something familiar so you can grasp it better. It helps a lot to be put this way. And I love that he centers the book solely on stocks. Other references start throwing in bonds and funds when you barely understood stocks to begin with, making you twice as confused. I also love that he reiterates some important points because sometimes I'll forget something and wind up going back and try to read it again, but he brings up the points again to make it easier to stick. And being new to the stock market I need that reminder. Upon reading this book, I was finally able to get a stockbroker account and begin investing with confidence. Something I never thought I could do. I can't wait to read his other books!

Granted this is coming from someone who has pretty much 0 experience with stocks. 2 years ago my employer added managing our 401k to my job responsibilities. I was flustered at first because I already administered the pension plan (with over 40,000 participants), but as I got deeper into my new job I saw how some employees had millions of dollars of investments and were retiring rich even in their 50s. These were not one off situations either, but multiple employees that played their hand right. I wanted to learn more about stocks to help my nephew have a better chance at not having to be a slave to an employer for the majority of his life. As I’m close to retirement age, I also wanted additional income without having to take on another job or work weekends as my brother in law had to when he had a business. Stocks seemed confusing and controlled by the old boy Network. Thank goodness I found this book. I like to say explain it to me like I’m six years old. That’s just what the author does and I realize it is not difficult to get into this stock club after all. This is a step by step guide with real stock newsletter recommendations, online stock broker recommendations, links to real sites to get more info on stock recommendations that I’ve heard of. It’s all here! Everything I need to get started. I just bought his other book too about dividends.

Hats off to the author!!! Must read A good start for a beginner...because before stepping into some Stuff we should know the basics behind that ...and that's what this book explained ...in very easy language....GOOD WORK This book is totally for those who are new to this topic of share markets.It might not be useful for those who already have experience in this field.

Good

it's a good book

I have finished reading the book. It was a real help to understand easily the basics. It gives a real spark for someone to decide to start with investing in the stock market. Its never late. The best conclusion: "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the second-best time is now."

Recommended for anybody about to start investing in stocks. Easy to understand and straightforward. If you have no idea on where to start buying stocks, check this book out.
