Here he covers the basics of investing, the various types of investments, and the language of investing in an easy to understand, enjoyable read.

In this interesting and educational guide he "shoots down" some popular myths. Starting with the basics, he takes you by the hand through the choice of investments, where to get reliable information, what information is really important, and then, step-by-step through DO IT YOURSELF order entry. He guides you, warns you, encourages you, and helps you become a confident and successful investor handling your own investment with little or no outside help.
