When people think of stock trading, they often think of the glory days of the Internet, when stocks just kept going up and everyone seemed to be making a fortune. Since the bubble burst, many people are scared of investing in the stock market. Sure, stocks are risky—just like any other investment—but with the right knowledge and tactics, there’s still money to be made.
Trading For Dummies isn’t about high-risk, fast-paced day trading. It’s a simple, straightforward guide to the ins and outs of stock investing that offers a measured, level-headed approach to trading. You’ll learn the basics of portfolio management, measuring stock value, market analysis, and much more—all with a focus on risk reduction and steady profits. Inside you’ll learn how to:
- Understand market cycles
- Choose a great broker
- Master technical analysis
- Manage your risk exposure
- Build a balanced portfolio
This friendly guide presents the kind of honest advice you won’t find in the typical get-rich-quick books on trading. Full of practical tips and tactics—as well as hardnosed insider advice—this handy resource shows you how to build a strong, balanced, and profitable portfolio. Whether you want to save up for your retirement or pay for college, Trading For Dummies will show you how to:
- Prepare yourself with the right tools and information
- Develop your own custom trading strategy
- Analyze companies and stocks
- Understand all the exchanges and markets
- Understand broker fee structures

Not up to the Dummies standard.......2007-06-16
I had hoped that, since this book discusses both fundamental and technical analysis, it would be a balanced blend of the two. However, it is almost entirely a technical analysis book, that acknowledges the existence of fundamentals and not much else.
The fact that the book doesn't match my investment style isn't enough on its own to earn a two-star rating from me. Unfortunately, it is also poorly written, and poorly edited. It is wordy, jargony, confusing, vague, and occasionally (as near as I can tell) inaccurate. Most significantly, it is missing the spark that made the reputation of the Dummies books - the inspired organization and careful choice of topics that allow a single book to provide a useful foundation in a complicated subject.
That said, I did (laboriously) read the whole thing. It added some polish to my chart-reading abilities. It also helped me to understand some previously inexplicable aspects of market behavior. I am not likely to become a technical analyst anytime soon, but I now feel slightly better prepared to share the marketplace with them.
Excellent foundation for the beginning trader.......2007-01-05
Trading for Dummies is an excellent book for anyone interested in starting to trade stocks. This book really kept me wanting to read on and on because every section was filled with plenty of information. The way the chapters are arranged were very good in that you don't have to be going back and forth to understand the whole concept. One thing I noticed was that this book is for someone who wants to be a position trader as opposed to a day trader, which is good because that is what I want to do. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about how the stock market works, this book is an excellent read. Overall I give it the full five stars.
Must read for those who want to make money.......2006-08-04
Great book. Covers all the bases, including fundamental and technicals. I have read a few of the other Dummies books on investing and all were well written. This book is for those who want to make money, not just buy and hold and hope for the best. I learned more about trading/investing with the Dummies series than 4 years of college majoring in finance. And yes, I have made money.
Great Introduction.......2006-04-14
IMHO The reason the "for dummies" brand has been successfull aside from the catchy name, is the actual content and material of the books themselves.
This book has been a great read for some one like myself that already had an idea of what investing entails, but that does not preclude total beginners with no idea from gaining an immense amount of great information from this book.
It is written in plain language and is a great place for a beginner to start his journey.
Good book + Free trading.......2005-10-30
This book is especially good for the person who wants a broad overview of investing. It will give you a solid foundation to begin growing your money from. After reading, I opened a Scottrade account because they had the lowest rates ($7), and no inactivity fee. [...] to get a referral for 3 free trades.
Book Description
A simple, straightforward guide to the fundamentals of technical analysis
For active traders and investors who don't understand the complicated art of technical analysis, this commonsense resource covers all the bases. Explaining the basic principles of analysis and showing how to implement them, Technical Analysis For Dummies dumps the confusing jargon and unreadable charts for basic explanations and practical guidance. In no time at all, readers will see how to make better trading decisions.

Customer Reviews:
There's gotta be better than this.......2007-08-15
The author attempts a very difficult subject and falls flat on her face.
Very unclear. Sentences an English professor couldn't diagram. Most any other book on Technical Analysis would be better
Great and easy to read.......2007-08-10
My investment friend was surprise when I told him that this book help me a lot. I keep this book by me at all times if I need to go back and review something. You should have this in your library.
Good as a reference.......2007-03-16
This book is pretty good for a reference, it covers all the basic issues and ideas that one should know when dealing with technical analysis.
My disappointment is that it lacks the prctical section. OK, so I know the basics, I open the chart at any charts system, and now what??
It doesnt give any methods of analysis, it just gives the tools.
Bottom line, as I see it, after reading the book you can't just go and start working...
NOT CLEARER THAN BEFORE STUFF.......2006-08-19
God help the "dummies" who like to learn from this book. Don't get this book if you are new to technical analysis, which will NOT make you money either. It will just confuse you. I recommend Martin Pring to start out with.
THE BEST.......2006-07-25
I've checked out lots of books on Technical Analysis and I've found this far and away the best, both for its understandability and its breadth. It's not a simple read, because technical analysis isn't a simple subject. But if you dedicate yourself to understanding it (with more than one reading), it will pay you back every step of the way.
This is definitely the book to start with (and maybe end with too) if you're serious about learning the discipline of technical analysis, rather than just dabbling in it. It's like being taught by a friend who's "in the business."

Investing Online for Dummies, 5th edition.......2007-01-10
The delivery was on time. The book is good for me
You don't have to buy this. .......2007-01-03
I came here to write a review for this book, and found that a reviewer below, "A reader", had already written what I was going to write. This book provides a reader with no information, but with long lists of websites to look at. You can access those websites most often just wasting time (like "A reader" already said). Using search engines like Google/Yahoo is much better than thumbing through this book.
Good Concise Overview to Get One Started.......2005-05-15
You can't watch television these days without getting bombarded with ads for on line brokerage companies. What's been missing has been a centralized source for information about the whole thing. This book provides that source. It's not complete - if it were it would be so big that you couldn't carry it around - but it's a great start.
You can read this book from cover to cover in just a few hours. That is, just a few hours if you don't take the time to go out on the web looking at the things she suggests. And that right there is the key to this book. Here is a good start that covers the whole field from A to Z, and at nearly each and every point along the way she points you to web sites for more information about specific points.
The problem with going to the web for more information, of course, is that web sites appear, go away, merge or whatever. She admits this, but accepts this risk and gives you multiple sites (you couldn't possibly visit all that she mentions) or suggests ways to find a missing or dead site.
This is a great way to get the basic information you need before getting started with selecting a broker and deciding what to buy.
Get Up To Speed With New Strategies, Tools and Resources.......2005-04-07
This newest edition of "Investing Online for Dummies" reflects the latest changes and improvements to online investing Web sites. Addresses building an online information system, setting up a basic investment strategy, determining how much to invest, selecting an online broker and trading online, finding the right investments, performing Internet transactions securely, saving on commissions, managing a portfolio, and much more.
A great guide for online investing .......2005-03-22
As I surf the Web, I often feel that it's like visiting a library where all the books have been spilled on the floor. The information is there but I don't know where to begin my search. "Investing Online For Dummies" explained how to get started, steered me to free or low cost online services, pointed out the important parts of Web sites, and showed me the process of online investing.

Shame on Borders for still having this in their store. It is outdated. The concept is great, but all of the suggested websites have been updated. The syntax directives are irrelevant now.
