Investing for Dummies
If you’re wanting to get into investing, and you have no idea where to start or what to do, this book will be perfect for you. There is a lot of information in Investing for Dummies, but it’s very easy to understand for a newbie investor. I personally think the information in this book should be known by everyone, even if you don't invest. I really wish this stuff was taught in high schools in America.

My Take on Investing for Dummies Book
This book covers pretty much everything a beginner investor would need to know to start investing. It lays a solid foundation to build upon. If you like reading these style of For Dummies books, I would highly recommend checking out The SIE Exam for Dummies next. This book is basically the next step up from the Investing for Dummies book. You’ll learn more in depth about investing in securities, stocks and bonds, and get into the details of the capital markets.
