In short, this review explains that this book is very, very basic and limited for anyone who wants a more thorough understanding of how the stock market operates. Anyone seeking more than the most basic of introductions will be disappointed.
All things considered, I think this book is helpful for a select group of people, but you must be someone who falls into that select group to fully appreciate the book. Mr Tyson seems like an all-around good guy who means well and I think genuinely wants to educate the masses about investing and their personal finances. But bear in mind that this book is clearly targeted to the beginner, and is even a bit overly paternalistic at times towards the beginning investor. I'm aware that this is part of the "Dummies" series, but I think Mr Tyson may have perhaps taken that part too literally. Most books in the Dummies series aim for simplified, layman explanations... which is distinguishable from the assumption that the readers are actually dummies or are otherwise incapable of truly learning/mastering the topic they are reading about, in this case.
The biggest pro/praise I have for this book is that Tyson lays out a simple way to approach investing. His method will keep individuals out of trouble and not erode the principal of their investments. He advises against the dangers of being overly unrealistic and the pitfalls associated with trying to get rich quick on the stock market. Further, Tyson discusses stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and the like. You get at least an overall picture of the various instruments available in the investing world. This is a very basic overview, however, as the author does not proceed to discuss concepts such as leverage, options, and futures. But perhaps for a beginner's book, his coverage is appropriate.
