Investing for Dummies - Paperback

Investing for Dummies is Eric Tyson's plain language starting point, covering stocks, bonds, funds, ETFs and property in one pass.

It is deliberately written to be read before you buy anything, and it spends as much time on judging a source of advice as on judging an asset.

What's covered

Risk and reward by asset class, how markets actually work, assessing your own position, and putting a portfolio together that survives a bad year.

Good to know

A reader with a finance MBA calls it the best single book for people without a business education. Another found it repetitive, which tends to follow when a book is built to be dipped into.
